श्रुत्वा परिषदो मध्ये ह्यपवादं सुदारुणम्। पुरे जनपदे चैव त्वत्कृते जनकात्मजे॥ रामः संतप्तहृदयो मा निवेद्य गृहं गतः। न तानि वचनीयानि मया देवि तवाग्रतः॥
śrutvā pariṣado madhye hyapavādaṃ sudāruṇam| pure janapade caiva tvatkṛte janakātmaje|| rāmaḥ saṃtaptahṛdayo mā nivedya gṛhaṃ gataḥ| na tāni vacanīyāni mayā devi tavāgrataḥ||
English Meaning
O worshipful queen! I have kept within my heart all those words, which the king said, before he entered his palace, rendered sorry and impatient on hearing in the assembly the report of censure regarding you, O daughter of king Janaka. All those words are indeed above description and so I desist.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
