तेनाहमपविद्धश्च हृतदारश्च राघव। तद्भयाश्च महीं सर्वां क्रान्तवान् सवनार्णवाम्॥ ऋष्यमूकं गिरिवरं भार्याहरणदुःखितः। प्रविष्टोऽस्म दुराधर्ष वालिनः कारणान्तरे॥
tenāhamapaviddhaśca hṛtadāraśca rāghava| tadbhayāśca mahīṃ sarvāṃ krāntavān savanārṇavām|| ṛṣyamūkaṃ girivaraṃ bhāryāharaṇaduḥkhitaḥ| praviṣṭo'sma durādharṣa vālinaḥ kāraṇāntare||
English Meaning
O Rāghava, I have been discomfited by him, and been deprived of my wife. And from fear of him, I have wandered over the whole earth having forest and seas. And aggrieved in consequence of my having been deprived of my wife. I have (at length) entered this best of mountains, Rsyamuka, which for a certain reason* is incapable of being approached by Vali. *In consequence of Matanga's curse.
