Valmiki Ramayana — Kishkindha Kanda

Verse 30.1

गृहं प्रविष्टे सुग्रीवे विमुक्ते गगने घनैः। वर्षरात्रे स्थितो रामः कामशोकाभिपीडितः॥ पाण्डुरं गगनं दृष्ट्वा विमलं चन्द्रमण्डलम्। शारदी रजनी चैव दृष्ट्वा ज्योत्स्नानुलेपनाम्॥ कामवृत्तं च सुग्रीवं नष्टां च जनकात्मजाम्। दृष्ट्वा कालमतीतं च मुमोह परमातुरः॥

gṛhaṃ praviṣṭe sugrīve vimukte gagane ghanaiḥ| varṣarātre sthito rāmaḥ kāmaśokābhipīḍitaḥ|| pāṇḍuraṃ gaganaṃ dṛṣṭvā vimalaṃ candramaṇḍalam| śāradī rajanī caiva dṛṣṭvā jyotsnānulepanām|| kāmavṛttaṃ ca sugrīvaṃ naṣṭāṃ ca janakātmajām| dṛṣṭvā kālamatītaṃ ca mumoha paramāturaḥ||

English Meaning

Sugrīva having entered his palace, and the sky being cleared of the clouds, Rāma, racked with grief, passing the rainy season and beholding the yellow welkin, the clear disc of the Moon, the autumnal right sprinkled with the rays of the Moon, the amour-stricken lord of monkeys, the ravishment of the daughter of Janaka, and the season well-nigh expired, became overwhelmed with sorrow and senseless.
