rāghavasya Rama's, pramattasya engaged, kāmarūpiṇā who can assume any form at his will, rakṣasā by a demon, rāvaṇēna by Ravana, pramathya tormented, krōśatī screaming, aham I, balāt forcibly, ānītā I was brought.

mahāratham great charioteer, rāmaṅ vinā without Rama, rākṣasīmadhyē in the midst of ogresses, vasantyāḥ while living, mē my, jīvitēna with life, arthaḥ use, na not, arthaiḥ with wealth, na no, bhūṣaṇaiśca with ornaments, na no need.

pāpajīvitā a woman of sinful life, yā since, aham I, tēna vinā kṛtā I am separated from Rama, muhūrtamapi even for a moment, jīvitam life, rakṣāmi I am preserving, anāryām a wrteched, asatīm infidel, mām me, dhik fie upon

aham I, śarīram my body, visṛjāmi I will leave, bhidyatām you cut me to pieces, bhakṣyatāṅ vāpi or you eat me up, priyavarjitā separated from my dear lord, aham I, ciram for long, duḥkham sorrow, na ca sahēyam I cannot bear.

yaḥ he who, nṛśaṅsasvabhāvēna due to cruel nature, mām me, prārthayitum for pleading, icchati hopes, ātmānam his own, pratyākhyātam loss of fame, na jānāti is not aware, ātmanaḥ of himself, kulam family, na not.

rāghavaḥ Rama, khyātaḥ renowned, prājñaḥwise, kṛtajña grateful, sānukrōśaśca a kind hearted one,
sadvṛttaḥ well behaved, madbhāgyasaṅkṣayāt due to my misfortune, niranukrōśaḥ turned pitiless, śaṅkē I doubt.

aham I, alpavīryēṇa of inferior valour, rakṣasā by the demon, rāvaṇēna by Ravana, niruddhā I am held captive, mē bhartā my husband, āhavē in battle, rāvaṇam Ravana, hantum killing, samarthaḥ khalu is surely capable.

samudrasya ocean's, madhyē in the middle, iyam this, laṅkā Lanka, duṣpradharṣaṇā unassailable, tu but, rāghavabāṇānām by the arrow of Rama, gatirōdha: resist, na bhaviṣyati will not be.

lakṣmaṇapūrvajaḥ elder brother of Lakshmana, mām me, ihasthām that I am here, na jānītē he does not know, śaṅkē I doubt, jānannapi even if he had known, tējasvī glorious, dharṣaṇam such an outrageous act, marṣayiṣyati he is tolerating.

mām me, tathā then, abhyavapadyatā by advancing, vṛddhēnāpi even being old, rāvaṇadvandvē in the duel with Ravana, tiṣṭhatā stood, tēna jaṭāyuṣā by that Jatayu, mahat great, karma help, kṛtam did.

laṅkāṅ purīm city of Lanka, vidhamēcca he will blow away, mahōdadhim this great ocean, śōṣayēcca will drain it dry, nīcasya of the mean fellow, rāvaṇasya Ravana's, kīrtim fame, nāma ca and name, nāśayēt he would have destroyed.

salakṣmaṇaḥ accompanied by Lakshmana, rāmaḥ Rama, rakṣasām of the demons, laṅkām Lanka, anviṣya after searching, kuryāt will do, tābhyām by both of them, dṛṣṭaḥ sight, ripuḥ enemy, muhūrtamapi even for a moment, na jīvati hi will not be alive.

acirēṇa kālēnaiva in a short time, manōratham my desire, prāpsyāmyēva I will gain, ayam this, duṣprasthānaḥ behaving badly, sarvēṣām of all of you, vaḥ you people, viparyayam a reversal of fate, ākhyāti indicates

pāpē when the sinner, rākṣasādhamē mean demons, rāvaṇē when Ravana, hatē is killed, durdharṣā impregnable, laṅkā Lanka, nūnam surely, vidhavā widow, pramadā yathā like a woman, śōṣam
wither up, yāsyati truly.

nacirādēva very soon, iha here, gṛhē gṛhē at every house, duḥkhārtānām distressful cry of women, rudantīnām crying, rākṣarakanyānām young ogresses, dhvanim sound, nūnam surely, śrōṣyāmi I will hear.

śūraḥ heroic, raktāntalōcanaḥ with blood-shot eyes, saḥ rāmaḥ that Rama, mām me, rāvaṇasya Ravana's, nivēśanē at home, vartamānām present, yadi that, nāma jānīyāt knows I am here. nṛśaṅsēna by the cruel one, adhamēna by the lowly person, anēna by this one, rāvaṇēna by Ravana, yaḥ whichever, samayaḥ time limit, mē to me, nirdiṣṭaḥ is fixed, tasya its, ayam this, kālaḥ time, āgataḥ has arrived, mē to me, vihitaḥ fixed, saḥ that, mṛtyuḥ death, asmin in him, duṣṭēna by this wicked fellow, vartatē is fixed.

rākṣasaḥ ogre, dhruvam determined, mām me, prātarāśārthē for morning meal, kalpayiṣyati will make it, sā such, aham I, priyadarśanam who has pleasing countenance, taṅ vinā without him, katham how, kariṣyāmi I will do, raktāntanayanam one whose eyes have a reddish tinge in the corners, rāmam Rama, apaśyantī without seeing, suduḥkhitā distressed very much.

lakṣmaṇapūrvajaḥ elder brother of Lakshmana, saḥ rāmaḥ that Rama, mām me, jīvatīm living, nājānāt he is not aware tau both of them, jānantau if they had known, mama my, mārgaṇam search, urvyām on earth, na kuryātām iti na not undertake.

mama my, nātham husband, rājīvalōcanam with eyes like lotus petals, rāmam Rama, yē those, paśyanti will see, dēvāḥ gods, sagandharvāḥ along with gandharvas, siddhāśca siddhas, paramarṣayaḥ great sages, dhanyāḥ blessed ones.

dṛśyamānē remains before seeing, prītiḥ love, bhavēt will be, apaśyataḥ not see, sauhṛdam friendship, nāsti does not last, kṛtaghnāḥ ungrateful one, nāśayanti will be destroyed, rāmastu Rama too, na nāśayiṣyati will not persih.

akliṣṭacāritrāt of blemishless character, śūrāt from the brave, śatrunibarhaṇāt who can destroy his enemy, mahātmanaḥ great self, rāmāt from Rama, vihīnāyāḥ seperated, mē me, jīvitāt with life, martum to die, śrēyaḥ it is better for me.

athavā or else, śūrau two heroes, bhrātarau both brothers, rāmalakṣmaṇau Rama and Lakshmana, durātmanā by the wicked one, rākṣasēndrēṇa by the demon king, rāvaṇēna by Ravana, chadmanā by some clever deceptive means, ghātitau are slain.

mahātmānaḥ great men, tyaktakilbiṣāḥ who have given up all sins, jitātmānaḥ those who have self-control, mahābhāgāḥ exhalted ones, munayaḥ sages, dhanyāḥ khalu are surely blessed, yēṣām for whom, priyāpriyē pleasure or displeasure, na staḥ none.
