And (when) the princess of Videha heard those piteous cries, she was about to run towards the direction from which the sound came. Then Lakshmana spoke to her, "O timid lady, there is no reason for your fear. Who is able to strike Rama? O lady of sweet smiles, you will in a moment see your lord Rama."
शुश्राव तस्य वैदेही ततस्तां करुणां गिरम्॥ सा प्राद्रवद् यतः शब्दस्तामुवाचाथ लक्ष्मणः। अलं ते शङ्कया भीरु को रामं प्रहरिष्यति॥ मुहूर्ताद् द्रक्ष्यसे रामं भर्तारं त्वं शुचिस्मिते।
