2.90.9

tām aśvagajasampūrṇāṃ rathadhvajavibhūṣitām
śaśaṃsa senāṃ rāmāya vacanaṃ cedam abravīt //

Lakshman in haste, the wood to view.
Climbed a high Sál that near him grew,
The forest all around he eyed,
First gazing on the eastern side.
Then northward when his eyes he bent
He saw a mighty armament
Of elephants, and cars, and horse,
And men on foot, a mingled force,
And banners waving in the breeze,
And spoke to Ráma words like these:
'Quick, quick, my lord, put out the fire,
Let Sítá to the cave retire.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
