श्रेयो मे जीवितान्मर्तुं विहीनाया महात्मना। रामादक्लिष्टचारित्राच्छूराच्छत्रुनिबर्हणात्॥
śreyo me jīvitānmartuṃ vihīnāyā mahātmanā| rāmādakliṣṭacāritrācchūrācchatrunibarhaṇāt||
English Meaning
Death is more preferable to me than life since. I have been separated from the high-souled heroic Rāma, of unblemished character and the slayer of foes.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
