3.43.4
rakṣasāṃ vaśam āpannaṃ siṃhānām iva govṛṣam
na jagāma tathoktas tu bhrātur ājñāya śāsanam
But Sitá hearing as she thought,
Her husband's cry with anguish fraught.
Called to her guardian, 'Lakshman, run
And in the wood seek Raghu's son.
Scarce can my heart retain its throne,
Scarce can my life be called mine own,
Assail my powers and senses fail
At that long loud and bitter wail.
Haste to the wood with all thy speed
And save thy brother in his need
Go, save him in the distant glade
Where loud he calls, for timely aid.
He * beneath some giant foe,
A * whom * overthrown'
* to her prayer,* step he stirred
Obedient to his mother's word
T * Janak's child, with inflamed,
* scorn *
Sumitrá's son, a friend *
* they brother's foe
W* at such *
* and neglect *
* Lakshman, * of me
* couldst see,
* thy *
* thy feet so *
