2.58.47

tasmān mām āgataṃ bhadre tasyodārasya tad vacaḥ
yad ahaṃ putraśokena saṃtyakṣyāmy adya jīvitam

This curse on me the hermit laid,
Nor yet his tears and groans were stayed.
Then on the pire their bodies cast
The pair; and straight to heaven they passed.
As in sad thought I pondered long
Back to my memory came the wrong
Done in wild youth, O lady dear.
When 'twas my boast to shoot by ear.

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

The deed has borne the fruit, which now
Hangs ripe upon the bending bough:
Thus dainty meats the palate please,
And lure the weak to swift disease.
Now on my soul return with dread
The words that noble hermit said,
That I for a dear son should grieve,
And of the woe my life should leave.'

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