Sanskrit Original
इहाँ सुबेल सैल रघुबीरा। उतरे सेन सहित अति भीरा।। सिखर एक उतंग अति देखी। परम रम्य सम सुभ्र बिसेषी।। तहँ तरु किसलय सुमन सुहाए। लछिमन रचि निज हाथ डसाए।। ता पर रूचिर मृदुल मृगछाला। तेहीं आसान आसीन कृपाला।। प्रभु कृत सीस कपीस उछंगा। बाम दहिन दिसि चाप निषंगा।। दुहुँ कर कमल सुधारत बाना। कह लंकेस मंत्र लगि काना।। बड़भागी अंगद हनुमाना। चरन कमल चापत बिधि नाना।। प्रभु पाछें लछिमन बीरासन। कटि निषंग कर बान सरासन।।
ihāom subēla saila raghubīrā. utarē sēna sahita ati bhīrā.. sikhara ēka utaṃga ati dēkhī. parama ramya sama subhra bisēṣī.. tahaom taru kisalaya sumana suhāē. lachimana raci nija hātha ḍasāē.. tā para rūcira mṛdula mṛgachālā. tēhīṃ āsāna āsīna kṛpālā.. prabhu kṛta sīsa kapīsa uchaṃgā. bāma dahina disi cāpa niṣaṃgā.. duhu kara kamala sudhārata bānā. kaha laṃkēsa maṃtra lagi kānā.. baḍabhāgī aṃgada hanumānā. carana kamala cāpata bidhi nānā.. prabhu pāchēṃ lachimana bīrāsana. kaṭi niṣaṃga kara bāna sarāsana..
At this end the Hero of Raghu's line encamped with his vast army on Mount Suvela. Observing a very lofty, supremely lovely, even and remarkably shining peak, Laksmana carefully spread on it whith his own hands beautiful young leaves and blossoms of trees, which he covered with a charming and soft deerskin; it was on this seat that the gracious Lord rested Himself. The Lord placed His head in the lap of Sugriva (the lord of the monkeys) with the bow and quiver to His left and right. He was passing both His lotus hands on an arrow, while the would-be king of Lanka (Vibhisana) whispered some secret in His ears. The blessed Angada and Hanuman kneaded His lotus-feet in diverse ways; while behind the Lord sat Laksmana in the pose of a warrior, with the quiver fastened at his waist and the bow and arrow ready in his hands.
