tataḥ then, vānaraḥ vanara, nandanē in the Nandana garden, dēvatāmiva like the goddess, tāṅ dēvīm to that deity-like Sita, avēkṣamāṇaḥ looking, bahuvidhām many ways, cintām cintayāmāsa reflected.

suyuktēna very carefully, śatrōḥ enemy's, śaktimavēkṣatā while seeing the strength, gūḍhēna in disguise, caratā roaming, cārēṇa a spy, mayā by myself, idam this place, avēkṣitaṅ tāvat seen everything.

sarvasattvadayāvataḥ who is compassionate to all, apramēyasya man of immeasureable prowess, tasya his, patidarśanakāṅkṣiṇīm longing to see her husband, bhāryām wife, samāśvāsayitum to console yuktam is the right action.

śōkōpahatacētanā whose mind is overwhelmed with grief, imāṅ dēvīm this Sita, aham I, anāśvasya without reassuring, yadi gamiṣyāmi if I go, gamanam destination (Kishkinda), dōṣavat is blameworthy, bhavēt would be.

mahābāhuḥ strong-armed hero, pūrṇacandranibhānanaḥ face like the full-moon, sītādarśanalālasaḥ
yearning to see Sita, saḥ that Rama, mayā by me, samāśvasayitum to provide comfort, nyāyyaḥ it is proper.

anēna by this, rātriśēṣēṇa when a part of the night is still left, mayā by me, nāśvāsyatē yadi if I do not comfort her, jīvitam life, parityakṣyati she will give up, sarvathā by all means, sandēhaḥ doubt, nāsti not.

sītāsandēśarahitam without any message from Sita, itaḥ from here, tvarayā at once, gatam gone, mām me, kākutthsaḥ Rama, kruddhaḥ angry, tīvrēṇa with a sharp, cakṣuṣā with eyes, nirdahēdapi will burn me.

aham I, iha here, sthitaḥ waiting, rākṣasīnām of the demonesses, antaram some chance, āsādya after finding, santāpabahulām deeply distressed, imām this lady, śanaiḥ slowly, āśvāsayiṣyāmi will comfort her.

dvijātiriva like a brahmin, saṅskṛtām sanskrit, vācam language, yadi if I pradāsyāmi will speak, sītā Sita, mām me, rāvaṇam Ravana, manyamānā thinking, bhītā bhaviṣyati will become scared, viśēṣēṇa specially, vānarasya vanara's, abhibhāṣaṇam talking, katham how, syāt would be.

pūrvam earlier, rakṣōbhiḥ by the demons, trāsitā frightened, sā iyam this, jānakī Janaki, mē my, rūpam form, tathā this way, bhāṣitam speaking, ālōkya on seeing, bhūyaḥ again, trāsam fear, gamiṣyati will experience.

sītayā by Sita's, śabdē when sound, kṛtē is made, sahasā at once, nānāpraharaṇa: holding different kinds of weapons, ghōra: terrific ones, antakōpama: comparable to the lord of death, rākṣasīgaṇa: horde of ogresses, samēyāt would gather.

uttamaśākhinām of good trees, śākhāḥ branches, praśākhāśca and side branches, skandhāṅśca and trunks, gṛhya by holding, viparidhāvantam running away, dṛṣṭvā seeing, bhayaśaṅkitāḥ get scared, bhavēyuḥ will be.

tataḥ thereafter, rākṣasyaḥ ogresses, rākṣasēndranivēśanē in the residence of the king of demons, rākṣasēndraniyuktānām engaged by the demon king to guard, rakṣasām api of the demons also, samāhvānam drawing their attention, kuryuḥ they will do.

taiḥ by them, paritaḥ around me, samṛddhaḥ filled, rakṣasām of demons, balam power, vidhaman while subduing, mahōdadhēḥ great sea, paraṅ pāram to the other side, samprāptum to reach, na śaknuyām not be possib.le

vā or, hiṅsābhirucayaḥ keen on indulging in violence, imām this lady, janakātmajām daughter of Janaka, hiṅsyuḥ harm her, tataḥ then, rāmasugrīvayōḥ of Rama and Sugriva, idam this, kāryam mission, vipannaṅ syāt will fail.

mayi me, saṅyugē in a battle, rakṣōbhiḥ by ogres, viśastē vā if I am killed, gṛhītē vā or captured,
rāmasya of Rama, kāryasādhanē to accomplish the task, anyam another, sahāyam help, na paśyāmi I do not see.

rakṣasām of demons, sahasrāṇyapi even thousands of them, hantum to kill, samarthaḥ capable, asmi kāmam I am surely, tu also, mahōdadhēḥ of the ocean, paraṅ pāram to cross over, samprāptum to reach, na śakṣyāmi it may not be possible.

anabhibhāṣaṇē if I do not speak, vaidēhyāḥ of Vaidehi, prāṇatyāgaśca abandonement of life, bhavēt may be, sītābhibhāṣaṇē on talking to Sita, mama to me, ēṣaḥ such, mahān great, dōṣaḥ drawback, syāt will be.

arthānarthāntarē swinging from a course of action or an action leading to calamity, buddhi intelligence, niścitāpi though decided, na śōbhatē not proper, paṇḍitamāninaḥ self-styled scholars, dūtāḥ messengers, kāryāṇi their missions, ghātayanti hi will be destroyed.

mē vākyam my words, kathaṅ nu how to, śṛṇuyāyāt she may listen, na udvijēta vā and not get agitated, iti thus, sañcintya reflecting, matimān wise, hanumān Hanuman, matim in his mind, cakāra exercised.

ikṣvākūṇām in Ikshvaku race, variṣṭhasya of the esteemed person, viditātmanaḥ of the knower of the self, rāmasya Rama's, śubhāni auspicious, vacanāni words, samarpayan by offering, madhurām sweet, giram word, prabruvan while uttering, sarvāṇi everything, śrāvayiṣyāmi will make her listen, iyam this, yathā as, śraddhāsyati will trust me, sarvam everything, samādadē I will present.
