Sanskrit Original
।। कामवृत्तं च सुग्रीवं नष्टां च जनकात्मजाम्। बुद्ध्वा कालमतीतं च मुमोह परमातुरः
৷৷ kāmavṛttaṅ ca sugrīvaṅ naṣṭāṅ ca janakātmajām. buddhvā kālamatītaṅ ca mumōha paramāturaḥ
While Sugriva was in his residence, Rama was (in Prasravana mountain) spending his rainy nights tormented by passion (for Sita). Sugriva was engaged in love, forgetting the time fixed for taking up the search for Sita. When the sky became clear of clouds after the rainy season, Rama sat gazing at the clear autumnal Moon's orb. He was besmeared with moonlight and felt perturbed as time was running out. And then fell into a swoon. (only a few months remained for the completion of the exile and Bharata will put an end to himself if Rama does not return to Ayodhya on the stipulated day. This worried Rama.)
