O you of mighty intellect I have searched every nook of this forest, this pool abounding in blown lotuses, and this mountain containing many a cave and fountain; but nowhere have I seen Vaidehi dearer than my life.
वनं सुविचितं सर्वं पद्मिन्यः फुल्लपङ्कजाः। गिरिश्चायं महाप्राज्ञ बहुकन्दरनिर्झरः। नहि पश्यामि वेदेही प्राणेभ्योऽपि गरीयसीम्॥
