Lakshmana’s Vigil and Guha’s Testimony
यो न देवासुरैस्सर्वैश्शक्यः प्रसहितुं युधि।तं पश्य गुह संविष्टं तृणेषु सह सीतया।।।।
yo na devāsuraiḥ sarvaiḥ śakyaḥ prasahituṃ yudhi | taṃ paśya guha saṃviṣṭaṃ tṛṇeṣu saha sītayā ||
О Гуха, взгляни: Рама, которого в бою не могут одолеть все боги и асуры вместе, ныне покоится на простой траве, и Сита рядом с ним.
O Guha! behold Rama, whom gods and demons combined cannot withstand in a battle now lying on a bed of grass with Sita.
