येन याति मुहूर्तेन सीतामादाय रावणः। विप्रणष्टं धनं क्षिप्रं तत्स्वामी प्रतिपद्यते॥ विन्दो नाम मुहूर्तोऽसौ न च काकुत्स्थ सोऽबुधत्। झषवद् बडिशं गृह्य क्षिप्रमेव विनश्यति ॥
yena yāti muhūrtena sītāmādāya rāvaṇaḥ| vipraṇaṣṭaṃ dhanaṃ kṣipraṃ tatsvāmī pratipadyate|| vindo nāma muhūrto'sau na ca kākutstha so'budhat| jhaṣavad baḍiśaṃ gṛhya kṣiprameva vinaśyati ||
English Meaning
Rāvana has taken away Sītā at a moment when a person regains soon his lost property. O Kākutstha, this moment is called Vindya, which Rāvana has not been able to perceive. (At this moment) the person who takes away (a thing) is soon destroyed like to a fish devouring a hook. This refers to Jatāyu's astrological knowledge. Vindya is derived from the root Vid-to gain. Thus this moment is favourable to the laser and unfavourable to the taker. Hence Rāvana carrying away Sītā at this moment shall meet with destruction.
