Chapter 58 — Sundara Kanda, Sarga 58

Valmiki Ramayana — Sundara Kanda

Verse 58.125

ततो मे बुद्धिरुत्पन्ना श्रुत्वा तामद्भुतां गिरम्॥ अदग्धा जानकीत्येव निमित्तैश्चोपलक्षितम्। दीप्यमाने तु लाङ्गुले न मां दहति पावकः॥ हृदयं च प्रहृष्टं मे वाताः सुरभिगन्धिनः।

tato me buddhirutpannā śrutvā tāmadbhutāṃ giram|| adagdhā jānakītyeva nimittaiścopalakṣitam| dīpyamāne tu lāṅgule na māṃ dahati pāvakaḥ|| hṛdayaṃ ca prahṛṣṭaṃ me vātāḥ surabhigandhinaḥ|

English Meaning

Hearing those wonderful words I regained my sense. I was then convinced by an auspicious sign that Jänaki was not burnt down, for I was not reduced to ashes albeit my tail was burning. My heart was excited with joy and the wind spread its delicious fragrance.
