2.46.1

prabhātāyāṃ tu śarvaryāṃ pṛthu vṛkṣā mahāyaśāḥ
uvāca rāmaḥ saumitriṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ śubhalakṣaṇam

Soon as the shades of night had fled,
Uprising from his lowly bed,
Ráma the famous, broad of chest,
His brother Lakshman thus addressed:
'Now swift upsprings the Lord of Light,
And fled, is venerable night,
That dark-winged bird the Koïl now
Is calling from the topmost bough,
And sounding from the thicket nigh
Is heard the peacock's early cry,
Come, cross the flood that seeks the sea,
The swiftly flowing Jáhnaví.'

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