2.49.15

vihṛtya te barhiṇapūganādite śubhe vane vāraṇavānarāyute
samaṃ nadīvapram upetya saṃmataṃ nivāsam ājagmur adīnadarśanaḥ

They wandered with delight.
Then by the river's side they found
A pleaaant spot of level ground,
Where all was smooth and fair around,
Their lodging for the night.

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

Thus on they fared. The tender dame
Asked Ráma, as they walked, the name
Of every shrub that blossoms bore,
Creeper, and tree unseen before:
And Lakshman fetched, at Sitá's prayer,
Boughs of each tree with clusters fair.
Then Janak's daughter joyed to see
The sand-discoloured river flee,
Where the glad cry of many a bird,
The sa'ras and the swan, was heard.
A league the brothers travelled through
The forest noble game they slew:
Beneath the trees their meal they dressed
And sat them down to eat and rest.
A while in that delightful shade
Where elephants unnumbered strayed.
Where peacocks screamed and monkeys played.

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