Thereupon removing the grief of my relatives stricken with sorrow and resorting to my own prowess, I jumped over hundred yayanas and beheld her placed in the forest of Asoka, wearing a red cloth, pale, deprived of all joy and observing strict penances. And then nearing her and beholding her of a perfectly blameless person I bestowed upon her an ensign a ring with Rāma's name engraven on it. And obtaining a jewel as an ensign, I, with my object accomplished, returned.
सोऽहं दुःखपरीतानां दुखं तज्ज्ञातिनां नुदन्। आत्मवीयं समास्थाय योजनानां शतं प्लुतः।। तत्राहमेकामद्राक्षमशोकवनिकां गताम्॥ कौशेयवस्त्रां मलिनां निरानन्दां दृढव्रताम्। तया समेत्य विधिवत्पृष्ट्वा सर्वमनिन्दिताम्॥ अभिज्ञानं मया दत्तं रामनामाङ्गुलीयकम्। अभिज्ञानं मणिं लब्ध्वा चरितार्थोऽहमागतः॥
