English: Formerly, O Rāma, I was deprived of my kingdom and reproached in harsh language by the strong Vāli.
Sanskrit: हृता भार्या च मे तेन प्राणेभ्योऽपि गरीयसी। सुहृदश्च मदीया ये संयता बन्धुनेषु ते॥
English: He also took away my wife dearer to me than life; and my friends have been imprisoned and been bound.
Sanskrit: यत्नवांश्च स दुष्टात्मा मद्विनाशाय राघव। बहुशस्तत्प्रयुक्ताश्च वानरा निहता मया॥
English: That wicked wight, O Rāghava, seeks my life. Many monkeys commissioned by him have been slain by me.
Sanskrit: शङ्कया त्वेतयाहं च दृष्ट्वा त्वामपि राघव। नोपसर्पाम्यहं भीतो भये सर्वे हि बिभ्यति॥
English: It was, O Rāghava, in consequence of this fear that when I (first) saw you, I did not come out. This is all the fear that oppresses me.
