सुखाहीं दुःखसंतप्तां व्यसनानामकोविदाम्। तां विलोक्य विशालाक्षीमधिकं मलिनां कृशाम्॥ तर्कयामास सीतेति कारणैरुपपादिभिः। ह्वियमाणा तदा तेन रक्षसा कामरूपिणा॥ यथारूपा हि दृष्टा सा तथारूपेयमङ्गना।
sukhāhīṃ duḥkhasaṃtaptāṃ vyasanānāmakovidām| tāṃ vilokya viśālākṣīmadhikaṃ malināṃ kṛśām|| tarkayāmāsa sīteti kāraṇairupapādibhiḥ| hviyamāṇā tadā tena rakṣasā kāmarūpiṇā|| yathārūpā hi dṛṣṭā sā tathārūpeyamaṅganā|
English Meaning
She was worthy of happiness only and never knew of misery and therefore she was (now) greatly oppressed with sorrow. And beholding that one of expansive eyes rendered pale and feeble, Hanuman, Hanumān, by various conclusive arguments reflected within himself. She must be Sītā for this damsel looks just like her, whom I saw, when she was ravished by Rāvana, assuming shapes at will.
