Srimad Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa | Sundara Kāṇḍa ~ Sarga 13 of 68

“It has been said by the eagle King Sampati that Seetha is here in the house of Ravana. I am unable to see her.”

“Otherwise Seetha belonging to Videha born in Mithila and daughter of king Janaka – Can she be helplessly together with the evil minded Ravana.”

“I think while Ravana fearing Rama’s arrows flew quickly carrying Seetha, she might have fallen down in the middle of the journey.”

“Or I think the heart of the noble Seetha being stolen in the path served by Siddhas must have sunk at the site of the ocean.”

“I think due to great speed of Ravana and due to the torture of Ravana’s shoulders the life has been given up by that noble one with wide eyes.”

“Then while being flown upon the surface of the ocean, Seetha definitely fell down in the ocean while wriggling.”

“Or has the austere Seetha been eaten by this Ravana, the evil minded one while she was protecting her chastity without any relatives near her.”

“Otherwise not being evil with black eyes, She may have been eaten by the wives of Ravana with evil thoughts.”

“The pitiable Seetha equaling full moon, with eyes equaling lotus petals must have obtained death while meditating upon Rama’s face.”

“The daughter of Videha, Seetha. �O Rama!’ �O Lakshmana!’ �O Ayodhya!’, thus weeping greatly may have given up her body.”

“I think otherwise being put in the house of Ravana Seetha is definitely crying like a caged myna.”

“How can the daughter of King Janaka, Rama’s wife Seetha with a beautiful waist, with eyes like black lotus petals obtain Ravana’s capture.”

“It is not fair to let know Rama who has a dear wife if Seetha is lost or is not to be seen or has died.”

“To be let known becomes an error; not to let know becomes an error how to perform the duty? To me this seems dire situation.”

“This task while it goes this way the time is approaching. What becomes appropriate” thus Hanuma thought again this view point.

“If I go towards Sugreeva’s city from here without seeing Seetha from that to what avail will this effort be?”

“My crossing of the ocean entering the city of Lanka the site of rakshasas – all this will become waste.”

“To me reaching Kishkindha what would Sugreeva say or Vanaras there or those sons of Dasharatha what would they say?”

“Going there by me for Rama, �Seetha has not been seen’ – thus if I say a very unpleasant word thereafter Rama will give up life.”

“Hearing bad word belonging to Seetha that is harsh, horrible, cruel, sharp, sense agonizing, He will not exist.”

“Seeing that Rama being with troubles, being with a heart towards death, Lakshmana, one with great love and an intellectual will not exist.”

“Hearing brothers to be dead, Bharata also will die. Seeing the dead Bharata, Shatrughana also will not exist.”

“Thereafter seeing sons to be dead the mothers Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi will not exist – there is no doubt.”

“Grateful, true to pledge Sugreeva, the leader of Vanaras, seeing Rama the leader of Vanaras seeing Rama die in that way will give up life thereafter.”

“Being tortured by the sorrow of husband, made sad by a gloomy heart, disconsolate without happiness, to be pitied, Ruma will give up life.”

“Being distressed from the sorrow of Vali, being emaciated from grief, Tara also will not exist while the king Sugreeva is obtaining death.”

“The young Angada also from the death of mother and father, from the grief of Sugreeva – why will he retain life?”

“Vanaras being rejected by the sorrow due to their lord will strike their heads with palms and fists.”

“Vanaras loved by the famous king Sugreeva through good words, through small gifts, through respect will give up lives.”

“Best among Vanaras will not enjoy together sport in forest, not on mountains, not again in covered places.”

“Together with wife and children and together with ministers being tortured by grief of their lord, they will fall down from top of mountains on to flat lands and on to rugged lands.”

“Vanaras will perform death by taking poison or getting hanged or entering fire or fasting or a weapon.”

“While I am going I think about the destruction of Ikshvaaku dynasty and destruction of Vanaras and there will be a terrible wail.”

“I will not go from here to the Kishkindha city. I am not capable to see Sugreeva without Seetha.”

“I while not going, being here those virtuous ones, those great warriors those two Rama and Lakshmana will live by hope. Vanaras also who are agile will live.”
