Ráma's dear wife, by all adored,

Lay on the earth beside her lord.

Here was his couch, upon this heap

He tossed and turned in restless sleep:

On the hard soil each manly limb

Has stamped the grass with signs of him.

That night, it seems, fair Sítá spent

Arrayed in every ornament,

For here and there my eyes behold

Small particles of glistering gold.
