यथा राघवनिर्मुक्तः शरः श्वसनविक्रमः॥ गच्छेत् तद्वद् गमिष्यामि लङ्कां रावणपालिताम्। नहि द्रक्ष्यामि यदि तां लङ्कायां जनकात्मजाम्॥ अनेनैव हि वेगेन गमिष्यामि सुरालयम्।
yathā rāghavanirmuktaḥ śaraḥ śvasanavikramaḥ|| gacchet tadvad gamiṣyāmi laṅkāṃ rāvaṇapālitām| nahi drakṣyāmi yadi tāṃ laṅkāyāṃ janakātmajām|| anenaiva hi vegena gamiṣyāmi surālayam|
English Meaning
I shall reach Lankā with the velocity of wind, just like an arrow shot by Rāma and if I do not find Jānakī there I shall, at the same speed, go to the region of the gods.
