2.111.16

tatas tāṃ sarvarīṃ prītaḥ puṇyāṃ śaśinibhānanaḥ |
arcitas tāpasaiḥ siddhair uvāsa raghunandanaḥ ||

Then like a heavenly Goddess shone
Fair Sítá with that raiment on.
She bowed her to the matron's feet,
Then turned away her lord to meet.
The hero prince with joy surveyed
His Sítá, in her robes arrayed,
As glorious to his arms she came
With love-gifts of the saintly dame.
She told him how the saint to show
Her fond affection would bestow
That garland of celestial twine,
Those ornaments and robes divine.
Then Ráma's heart, nor Lakshman's less,
Was filled with pride and happiness,
For honours high had Sítá gained,
Which mortal dames have scarce obtained.
There honoured by each pious sage
Who dwelt within the hermitage,
Beside his darling well content
That sacred night the hero spent.

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