Chapter 12 — Yuddha Kanda, Sarga 12

Valmiki Ramayana — Yuddha Kanda

Verse 12.19

श्रान्तोऽहं सततं कामाद्यातो हय इवाध्वनि। कथं सागरमक्षोभ्यं तरिष्यन्ति वनौकसः॥ बहुसत्त्वझषाकीर्णं तौ वा दशरथात्मजौ।

śrānto'haṃ satataṃ kāmādyāto haya ivādhvani| kathaṃ sāgaramakṣobhyaṃ tariṣyanti vanaukasaḥ|| bahusattvajhaṣākīrṇaṃ tau vā daśarathātmajau|

English Meaning

But tired am I on account of my passion, like a horse spent on the way. How can the rangers of the woods, or the sons of Dasaratha cross over the sea ungovernable and swarming with countless creatures and fishes?

M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
