She laid her outer garment here,

For still some silken threads appear,

How dear in her devoted eyes

Must be the bed where Ráma lies,

Where she so tender could repose

And by his side forget her woes.

Alas, unhappy, guilty me!

For whom the prince was forced to flee,

And chief of Raghu's sons and best,

A bed like this with Sítá pressed.
