Woods, and mountains, and rivers, and impenetrable wilds, and valleys, and mountain caverns have been thoroughly searched. But Jānakī we have failed to find anywhere,—or that wicked wight, the Rākṣasa that has ravished Sītā.
वनानि गिरयो नद्यो दुर्गाणि गहनानि च। दरी गिरिगुहाश्चैव विचिताः सर्वमन्ततः॥ तत्र तत्र सहास्माभिर्जानकी न च दृश्यते। तथा रक्षोऽपहर्ता च सीतायाश्चैव दुष्कृती॥
