राक्षसैः सा परित्यक्ता पुरा विष्णुभयार्दितैः॥ शून्या रक्षोगणैः सर्वै रसातलतलं गतः। शून्या संप्रति लङ्का सा प्रभुस्तस्या न विद्यते॥ स त्वं तत्र निवासाय गच्छ पुत्र यथासुखम्। निर्दोषस्तत्र ते वासो न बाधस्तत्र कस्यचित् ॥
rākṣasaiḥ sā parityaktā purā viṣṇubhayārditaiḥ|| śūnyā rakṣogaṇaiḥ sarvai rasātalatalaṃ gataḥ| śūnyā saṃprati laṅkā sā prabhustasyā na vidyate|| sa tvaṃ tatra nivāsāya gaccha putra yathāsukham| nirdoṣastatra te vāso na bādhastatra kasyacit ||
English Meaning
Formerly she was renounced by the Raksasas afflicted with the fear of Vişnu; and was empty of swarms of Rākşasa, who had gone to the nethermost regions. Now Lanka is vacant, and there is no one that lords it over her. Do you, my child, for abode, at your ease repair thither. Your stay there shall meet with no rub, and no manner of disturbance shall occur there.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
