2.52.25

udvīkṣamāṇā bhartāraṃ mukhena pariśuṣyatā
mumoca sahasā bāṣpaṃ māṃ prayāntam udīkṣya sā

But Janak's child, my lord, stood by,
And oft the votaress heaved a sigh.
She seemed with dull and wandering sense,
Beneath a spirit's influence.
The noble princess, pained with woe
Which till that hour she ne'er could know,
Tears in her heavy trouble shed,
But not a word to me she said.
She raised her face which grief had dried
And tenderly her husband eyed,
Gazed on him as he turned to go
While tear chased tear in rapid flow.'

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