त्यजतां मानुषो भारो मयि भावश्च प्रणीयताम्। राज्याच्च्युतमसिद्धार्थं रामं परिमितायुषम्॥ कैर्गुणैरनुरक्तासि मूढे पण्डितमानिनि। यः स्त्रियो वचनाद् राज्यं विहाय ससुहज्जनम्॥ अस्मिन् व्यालानुचरिते वने वसति दुर्मतिः।
tyajatāṃ mānuṣo bhāro mayi bhāvaśca praṇīyatām| rājyāccyutamasiddhārthaṃ rāmaṃ parimitāyuṣam|| kairguṇairanuraktāsi mūḍhe paṇḍitamānini| yaḥ striyo vacanād rājyaṃ vihāya sasuhajjanam|| asmin vyālānucarite vane vasati durmatiḥ|
English Meaning
Renouncing your attachment for a man, do you place your love in me. O foolish girl, worthy of being adored by the learned, for what quality are you attached to Rāma of a limited life, who has been deprived of his kingdom and has his desire frustrated, and who of an evil intent, has, at the words of his wife, renouncing his kingdom and kinsmen, been living in this forest-the abode of voracious animals.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
