Let Rāvana carry away Sītā (to his own country), whither shall Ravana, living, repair? Like a dying person who has taken a deathdispelling drug and drunk ambrosia, Sītā, hearing of my preparations for war, shall inspire hope of life.
सीतां हृत्वा तु तद्यातु क्वासौ यास्यति जीवितः। सीता श्रुत्वाभियानं मे आशामेष्यति जीविते। जीवितान्तेऽमृतं स्पृष्ट्वा पीत्वाऽमृतमिवातुरः॥
