अहं त्ववगतो बुद्ध्या चिरैस्तैतिरं हतम्। पिधाय च बिलद्वारं शिलया गिरिमात्रया॥ शोकार्तश्चोदकं कृत्वा किष्किन्धामागतः सखे। गूहमानस्य मे तत् त्वं यत्नतो मन्त्रिभिः श्रुतम्॥
ahaṃ tvavagato buddhyā ciraistaitiraṃ hatam| pidhāya ca biladvāraṃ śilayā girimātrayā|| śokārtaścodakaṃ kṛtvā kiṣkindhāmāgataḥ sakhe| gūhamānasya me tat tvaṃ yatnato mantribhiḥ śrutam||
English Meaning
And from these signs concluding my brother to be slain, I, closing the mouth of the cavern with a crag, huge as a hill, and afflicted with grief, after performing his watery rites, came (back) to Kiskindha, O my friend. And although I carefully concealed (the matter), the counsellors heard it all.
