सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
तद् वासो दर्शयामासुस्तस्य कार्य निवेदिते । वानराणां तु यत् सीता द्वियमाणा व्यपासृजत्,रामने सुग्रीवके समक्ष जब अपना कार्य निवेदन किया, तब उन्होंने श्रीरामको वह वस्त्र दिखाया, जिसे अपहरणकालनमें सीताने वानरोंके बीचमें डाल दिया था
tad vāso darśayāmāsus tasya kārya-nivedite | vānarāṇāṃ tu yat sītā dvyamāṇā vyapāsṛjat |
ರಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿವೇದಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಅವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಆ ವಸ್ತ್ರವನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಿದರು—ಅಪಹರಣಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೀತೆಯು ವಾನರರ ನಡುವೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದದೇ ಅದು.
