एष ज्ञातिसहस्रेण स्थपतिः परिवारितः। कुशलो दण्डकारण्ये वृद्धो भ्रातुश्च ते सखा॥ तस्मात् पश्यतु काकुत्स्थ त्वां निषादाधिपो गुहः। असंशयं विजानीते यत्र तौ रामलक्ष्मणौ॥
eṣa jñātisahasreṇa sthapatiḥ parivāritaḥ| kuśalo daṇḍakāraṇye vṛddho bhrātuśca te sakhā|| tasmāt paśyatu kākutstha tvāṃ niṣādādhipo guhaḥ| asaṃśayaṃ vijānīte yatra tau rāmalakṣmaṇau||
English Meaning
This lord (that approaches) surrounded by his relatives, is very potent in Dandaka and is an old friend of your brother. Therefore let Guha, the lord of the Nişādas, see you, O Kākutstha. He indubitably knows where Rāma and Lakşmaņa are.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
