तीक्ष्णः प्रकृत्या सुग्रीवः प्रियारक्तश्च राघवः। समीक्ष्याकृतकार्यांस्तु तस्मिंश्च समये गते ॥ अदृष्टायां च वैदेह्यां दृष्ट्वा चैव समागतान्। राघवप्रियकामाय घातयिष्यत्यसंशयम्॥
tīkṣṇaḥ prakṛtyā sugrīvaḥ priyāraktaśca rāghavaḥ| samīkṣyākṛtakāryāṃstu tasmiṃśca samaye gate || adṛṣṭāyāṃ ca vaidehyāṃ dṛṣṭvā caiva samāgatān| rāghavapriyakāmāya ghātayiṣyatyasaṃśayam||
English Meaning
Sugrīva is harsh by nature, and Rāghava loveth his wife dearly. The time appointed having passed by, seeing us (come) without attaining success in the task, and seeing us arrive without obtaining a sight of Vaidehi, (Sugrīva) shall certainly slay us from the desire of doing what is agreeable to Rāghava.
