5.9.26

śayanāny atra nārīṇāṃ śūnyāni bahudhā punaḥ
parasparaṃ samāśliṣya kāś cit suptā varāṅganāḥ

Had sunk her drooping head to rest.
That spacious hall from side to side
With noblest fare was well supplied,
There quarters of the boar, and here
Roast of the buffalo and deer,
There on gold plate, untouched as yet
The peacock and the hen were set.
There deftly mixed with gait and curd
Was meat of many a beast and bird,
Of kid and porcupine and hare,
And dainties of the sea and air.
There wrought of gold, ablaze with shine
Of precious stones, were cups of wine.
Through court and bower and banquet hall
The Vánared and viewed them all;
From end to end, in every spot,
For Sítá but found her not.

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