rāghavanandana delight of the race of Raghu, tāta! my friend, (lakṣmaṇa Lakshmana), sukhā comfortable, iyam this, śayyā couch, tvadartham for your sake, upakalpitā has been arranged, pratyāśvasihi be assured, asyām upon it, sukham peacefully, śēṣva lie down.

mama for me, bhuvi on earth, rāmāt more than Rama, priyataraḥ dearer, kaścana none, nāsti hi does not exist, atha and, utsukaḥ anxious, mā bhūḥ do not have, tava your, agrataḥ in presence, ētat this, satyam truthful, vākyam words, bravīmi I am telling.

saḥ ahaṅ as for me, sarvaiḥ with all, svaiḥ own, jñātibhiḥ saha with relatives, sītayā saha along with Sita, śayānam asleep, priyasakham dear friend, rāmam to Rama, dhanuṣpāṇiḥ bow in hand, rakṣiṣyāmi I will protect.

ēvaṅ thus, asmābhiḥ by us, uktēna having been uttered, mahātmanā by the magnanimous, dharmamēva virtuousness alone, anupaśyatā seeing, lakṣmaṇēna by Lakshmana, vayam we, sarvē all, anunītāḥ have been entreated.

guha O Guha, yaḥ that Rama, sarvaiḥ by all, dēvāsuraiḥ by gods and demons, yudhi in battle, prasahituṅ to withstand, na śakyaḥ not possible, tam him, sītayā saha with Sita, tṛṇēṣu on the grass, saṅviṣṭam lying down, paśya behold.

asmin when he, pravrājitē is exiled, rājā king Dasaratha, ciram for a long time, na vartayiṣyati will not survive, nūnam surely, mēdinī earth, kṣipramēva soon, vidhavā widow, bhaviṣyati will become.

kausalyā caiva even Kausalya, rājā ca king also, tathaiva in the same way, mama jananī my mother, tē sarvē all of them, imām this, rajanīm night, yadi jīvēyuḥ if they are alive, nāśaṅsē I do not think.

mē pitā my father, atikrāntam atikrāntam gone by one after another, manōratham cherished desire, anavāpya without fulfilling, rājyē in the kingdom, rāmam Rama, anikṣipya without placing, vinaśiṣyati will pass away.

ramyacatvarasasthānām with lovely cross-roads and squares, suvibhaktamahāpathām well-laid highways, harmyaprāsādasaṅpannām full of mansions and palaces, sarvaratnavibhūṣitām encrusted with every kind of precious stone, gajāśvarathasaṅbādhām full of elephants, horses and chariots, tūryanādavināditām resounding with trumpets, sarvakalyāṇasaṅpūrṇām with universal well-being, hṛṣṭapuṣṭajanākulām crowded with healthy people, ārāmōdyānasaṅpūrṇām with plenty of pleasure-gardens and parks, samājōtsavaśālinīm shining with community festivities, mama pituḥ my father's, rājadhānīm capital (Ayodhya), sukhitāḥ with all comforts, vicariṣyanti will move about.

sumahātmanaḥ of the high-minded, ēvaṅ in this way, paridēvayamānasya lamenting so, tasya rājaputrasya that prince, tiṣṭhataḥ while waiting, sā śarvarī that night, atyavartata elapsed.
