Repairing to woods, O Laksmana, in Sita's company my grief was assuaged, nay I did not suffer physical affliction even. Without Sītā these sorrows have grown anew like to fire flaming again by means of fuel.
सर्वं तु दुःखं मम लक्ष्मणेदं शान्तं शरीरे वनमेत्य क्लेशम्। सीतावियोगात् पुनरप्युदीर्णं काष्ठरिवाग्निः सहसोपदीप्तः॥
