There are all over, the homes of females with faces resembling those of horses. Going beyond that part, (you shall come to) the asylum inhabited by Siddhas; where ascetics—Vālakhilyas, Siddhas and Vaikhānasas. Saluting those Siddhas, who have been cleansed of their sins on account of their asceticism, you should in humble guise ask them concerning Sītā.
स्त्रीणामश्वमुखीनां तु निकेतस्तत्र तत्र तु। तं देशं समतिक्रम्य आश्रमं सिद्धसेवितम्॥ सिद्धा वैखानसा यत्र बालखिल्याश्च तापसाः। दतव्यास्ततः सिद्धास्तपसा वीतकल्मषाः॥ प्रष्टव्या चापि सीतायाः प्रवृत्तिर्विनयान्वितैः।
