English Meaning
And casting his looks behind behind while proceeding he espied that Sītā, on the other side of the Gangă, was rowing wildly like one having none to look after her. Looking again and again when Sītā saw that Lakşmaņa and the chariot have gone beyond the range of her vision, she became overwhelmed with anxiety and grief.
