O Rāma, O you of truthful vows, O you of long arms, O you having the countenance of a full moon! O my life! engaged as you are in the welfare of the people, do you not perceive that I am about to be killed by the Rākşasas.
हा राम सत्यव्रत दीर्घबाहो हा पूर्णचन्द्रप्रतिमानवक्त्र। हा जीवलोकस्य हितः प्रियश्च वध्यां न मां वेत्सि हि राक्षसानाम्॥
