O best of the Bharata race, having crossed by my own prowess the ocean, the abode of sharks and crocodiles, I saw the daughter of king Janaka, celestials like Sita in the abode Ravana. Having interviewed with that lady, the Veda princess, the beloved of Rama.
अहं स्ववीर्यादुत्तीर्य सागरं मकरालयम्। सुत जनकराजस्य सीतां सुरसुतोपमाम्॥ दृष्टवान् भरतश्रेष्ठ रावणस्य निवेशने। समेत्य तामहं देवीं वैदेहीं राघवप्रियाम्॥
