With monsters round her for a guard,

Still in her silken vesture clad

Lies Sítá, and her heart is sad.

A hundred leagues your course must be

Beyond this margin of the sea.

Still to the south your way pursue,

And there the giant Rávaṇ view.

Then up, O Vánars, and away!

For by my heavenly lore I say,

There will you see the lady's face,
