Ramayana 2.39.1

रामस्य तु वचः शृत्वा मुनिवेशधरं च तम्।समीक्ष्य सह भार्याभी राजा विगतचेतनः।।2.39.1।।नैनं दुःखेन सन्तप्तः प्रत्यवैक्षत राघवम्।न चैनमभिसम्प्रेक्ष्य प्रत्यभाषत दुर्मनाः।।2.39.2।।

rāmasya tu vacaḥ śrutvā muniveśadharaṃ ca tam | samīkṣya saha bhāryābhi rājā vigatacetanaḥ || 2.39.1 || na enaṃ duḥkhena santaptaḥ pratyavaikṣata rāghavam | na cainam abhisamprekṣya pratyabhāṣata durmanāḥ || 2.39.2 ||

Hearing Rāma’s words and seeing him clad in an ascetic’s garb, the king, together with his wives, lost consciousness. Tormented by grief, the dejected Daśaratha could not look upon Rāghava, and even after looking, could not reply.
