Rāma, exceedingly wroth, cast his looks around as if desiring to burn everything with his eyes and beheld footprints of the Räkşasas on the earth as well as those of Sītā moving wildly hither and thither, terrified and desirous to see Rāma, while pursued by the Rākşasas.
एवं प्ररुषितो रामो दिधक्षन्निव चक्षुषा ॥ ददर्श भूमौ निष्क्रान्तं राक्षसस्य पदं महत्। वस्ताया रामकाङ्गिण्याः प्रधावन्त्या इतस्ततः॥ राक्षसेनानुसृप्ताया वैदेयाश्च पदानि तु।
