And Lakshmaṇ fetched, at Sítá's prayer,

Boughs of each tree with clusters fair.

Then Janak's daughter joyed to see

The sand-discoloured river flee,

Where the glad cry of many a bird,

The sáras and the swan, was heard.

A league the brothers travelled through

The forest noble game they slew:

Beneath the trees their meal they dressed

And sat them down to eat and rest.
