एवं रामप्रयुक्तास्तु मार्गमाणास्ततस्ततः। वैदेहीं नाधिगच्छामो रात्रौ सूर्यप्रभामिव॥
evaṃ rāmaprayuktāstu mārgamāṇāstatastataḥ| vaidehīṃ nādhigacchāmo rātrau sūryaprabhāmiva||
English Meaning
Despatched hither by Rāma, we have searched for Sītā all round, but Vaidehī we have not found, as one does not find the solar splendour at night.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
