And entering that apartment, Rāvana-lord of Rākşasas-saw the distressed Sītā in the midst of the Raksasas, with a tearful countenance, oppressed with a load of grief, like to a bark sinking in the ocean through the violence of the winds; like to a doe separated from the herd of deer, and surrounded by dogs.
स प्रविश्य तु तद्वेश्म रावणो राक्षसाधिपः। अपश्यद् राक्षसीमध्ये सीतां दुःखपरायणाम्॥ अश्रुपूर्णमुखीं दीनां शोकभारावपीडिताम्। वायुवेगैरिवाक्रान्तां मज्जन्ती नावमर्णवे॥
