सीतावियोगे रामविलापः
Rāma’s Lament in Separation from Sītā
सीतायाश्च विनाशोऽयं मम चामित्रकर्शन।विस्तरेण जनन्या मे विनिवेद्यस्त्वया भवेत्।।3.62.20।।
sītāyāś ca vināśo 'yaṃ mama cāmitra-karśana | vistareṇa jananyā me vinivedyas tvayā bhavet || 3.62.20 ||
О Лакшмана, сокрушитель врагов, эту беду, постигшую Ситу и меня, надлежит тебе сообщить моей матери — полностью и во всех подробностях.
O Lakshmana! surely Sita is either devoured by demons or abducted. When I am weeping like this she is not coming to me.
