गच्छ लक्ष्मण पश्य त्वं भरतं भ्रातृवत्सलम्। नह्यहं जीवितुं शक्तस्तामृते जनकात्मजाम्॥ इति रामं महात्मानं विलपन्तमनाथवत्। उवाच लक्ष्मणो भ्राता वचनं युक्तमव्ययम्॥
gaccha lakṣmaṇa paśya tvaṃ bharataṃ bhrātṛvatsalam| nahyahaṃ jīvituṃ śaktastāmṛte janakātmajām|| iti rāmaṃ mahātmānaṃ vilapantamanāthavat| uvāca lakṣmaṇo bhrātā vacanaṃ yuktamavyayam||
English Meaning
Do you proceed, O Lakşmaņa, and join Bharata gifted with fraternal affection. I am incapable of living any more without that daughter of Janaka. Thereupon Lakşmaņa addressed to the high-souled Rāma who was thus bewailing like one helpless with the following pregnant and immutable words.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
