### [3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.ramayana.ramayanacampu~en-mt.3.27)

Immediately after this, Janaka's daughter cast her eyes all around, and having caught sight of a monkey on that branch, her heart alarmed with the thought of an evil dream, praying for welfare for her husband Rāma together with Lakṣmaṇa, reflected: “How could a dream come to this person for whom sleep is hard to obtain?”, and fearing him to be the lord of the rākṣasas arrived through sorcery, she was terrified of the son of the Wind.  
He too, the son of Añjanā, descended, and in order to inspire confidence in Janaka’s daughter by the elegance of his speech, spoke with folded hands:

who languishes with intense anguish through separation from you! (27)
