Sanskrit Original
अवगाहि सोक समुद्र सोचहिं नारि नर ब्याकुल महा। दै दोष सकल सरोष बोलहिं बाम बिधि कीन्हो कहा।। सुर सिद्ध तापस जोगिजन मुनि देखि दसा बिदेह की। तुलसी न समरथु कोउ जो तरि सकै सरित सनेह की।।
avagāhi sōka samudra sōcahiṃ nāri nara byākula mahā. dai dōṣa sakala sarōṣa bōlahiṃ bāma bidhi kīnhō kahā.. sura siddha tāpasa jōgijana muni dēkhi dasā bidēha kī. tulasī na samarathu kōu jō tari sakai sarita sanēha kī..
Plunged into an ocean of grief the men and women lamented in great anguish. They all angrily and reproachfully exclaimed,"Alas! What has cruel Fate done!" Of the gods, accomplished saints, ascetics, Yogis (mystics) and anchorites, whoever witnessed the condition of Janaka on that occasion, none, says Tulasidasa, was strong enough to cross the river of love (to escape being drowned in it).
