अस्यावामभुजं श्लिष्टा या सा तिष्ठति दुर्मनाः॥ इयं सुमित्रा दुःखार्ता देवी राज्ञश्च मध्यमा। कर्णिकारस्य शाखेव शीर्णपुष्पा वनान्तरे॥ एतस्यास्तौ सुतौ देव्याः कुमारौ देववर्णिनौ। उभौ लक्ष्मणशत्रुघ्नौ वीरौ सत्यपराक्रमौ॥
asyāvāmabhujaṃ śliṣṭā yā sā tiṣṭhati durmanāḥ|| iyaṃ sumitrā duḥkhārtā devī rājñaśca madhyamā| karṇikārasya śākheva śīrṇapuṣpā vanāntare|| etasyāstau sutau devyāḥ kumārau devavarṇinau| ubhau lakṣmaṇaśatrughnau vīrau satyaparākramau||
English Meaning
She that stands at her left hand, in dejected guise, is the noble Sumitrā afflicted with sorrow, the second wife of the monarch, like a Karņikāra bough in a forest, with all its blossoms shrivelled up. The sons of this exalted lady are the youthful and heroic Lakşmaņa and ſatrughna, having truth for their prowess, and resembling celestials in shape.
