To me long rites and fervid zeal

The wish that stirs thy heart reveal,

And hence my guest I bade thee be,

That this pure grove might shelter thee.

So now, thereafter, thus I speak:

The shades of Panchavaṭí seek;

That tranquil spot is bright and fair,

And Sítá will be happy there.

Not far remote from here it lies,

A grove to charm thy loving eyes,
