Witnessing such a hard condition of Sītā I began to reflect; nor did my mind attain ease or freedom from thought. And I cast about for finding means of addressing Jānaki.
तां चाहं तादृशीं दृष्ट्वा सीताया दारुणां दशाम्॥ चिन्तयामास विश्रान्तो न च मे निर्वृतं मनः। सम्भाषणार्थे च मया जानक्याश्चिन्तितो विधिः॥
