Valmiki Ramayana 2.90.10

2.90.10

agniṃ saṃśamayatv āryaḥ sītā ca bhajatāṃ guhām
sajyaṃ kuruṣva cāpaṃ ca śarāṃś ca kavacaṃ tathā

Thy coat of mail around thee throw,
Prepare thine arrows and thy bow.'

Lakshman in haste, the wood to view.
Climbed a high Sál that near him grew,
The forest all around he eyed,
First gazing on the eastern side.
Then northward when his eyes he bent
He saw a mighty armament
Of elephants, and cars, and horse,
And men on foot, a mingled force,
And banners waving in the breeze,
And spoke to Ráma words like these:
'Quick, quick, my lord, put out the fire,
Let Sítá to the cave retire.
