Rāma’s Lament in Separation from Sītā
सुव्यक्तं राक्षसैस्सीता भक्षिता वा हृतापि वा।।3.62.8।।न हि सा विलपन्तं मामुपसम्प्रैति लक्ष्मण।
suvyaktaṃ rākṣasaiḥ sītā bhakṣitā vā hṛtā 'pi vā || 3.62.8 || na hi sā vilapantaṃ mām upasampraiti lakṣmaṇa |
အို လက္ခမဏ၊ အလွန်ပင် ထင်ရှားနေပြီ—စီတာကို ရက္ခသတွေ စားသွားတာဖြစ်စေ၊ ဖမ်းဆီးခေါ်သွားတာဖြစ်စေ ဖြစ်ရမယ်။ ငါ ငိုကြွေးနေသော်လည်း သူမ ငါ့ဆီ မလာဘူး။
O my dear Sita, why are you joking when I am exhausted? Such fun cannot be relished now.
