I have been sent by him as a messenger to you. Worn with grief in your separation he has enquired of your welfare, as well the highly effulgent Lakşmaņa, the enhancer of Sumitrā's joy, bowing reverentially to you.
तेनाहं प्रेषितो दूतस्त्वत्सकाशमिहागतः॥ त्वद्वियोगेन दुःखार्तः स त्वां कौशलमब्रवीत्। लक्ष्मणश्च महातेजाः सुमित्रानन्दवर्धनः॥ अभिवाद्य महाबाहुः स त्वां कौशलमब्रवीत्।
