1.45.3

sāhaṃ tapaś cariṣyāmi garbhaṃ me dātum arhasi
īdṛśaṃ śakrahantāraṃ tvam anujñātum arhasi

Dead are the children, mine no more,
The mighty sons to thee I bore.
Long fervour's meed, I crave a boy
Whose arm may Indra's life destroy.
The toil and pain my care shall be:
To bless my hope depends on thee.
Give me a mighty son to slay
Fierce Indra, gracious lord, I pray.'

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