Eager to do my brother's will,

Mourning thy woman's nature, I

Must see thee doubt my truth and die.

I fly to Ráma's side, and Oh,

May bliss attend thee while I go!

May all attendant wood-gods screen

Thy head from harm, O large-eyed Queen!

And though dire omens meet my sight

And fill my soul with wild affright,

May I return in peace and see
