सीतामदृष्ट्वा ह्यनवाप्य पौरुषं विहृत्य कालं सह वानरैश्चिरम्। न मेऽस्ति सुग्रीवसमीपगा गतिः सुतीक्ष्णदण्डो बलवांश्च वानरः ॥
sītāmadṛṣṭvā hyanavāpya pauruṣaṃ vihṛtya kālaṃ saha vānaraiściram| na me'sti sugrīvasamīpagā gatiḥ sutīkṣṇadaṇḍo balavāṃśca vānaraḥ ||
English Meaning
Failing to see Sītā, and (thereby) annulling my prowess, and having long spent the appointed space in company with the monkeys, way have I none to present myself before Sugrīva, that monkey being puissant and given to meting out sharp chastisement.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
