Sanskrit: पश्य लक्ष्मण पुष्पाणि निष्फलानि भवन्ति मे। पुष्पभारसमृद्धानां वनानां शिशिरात्यये॥ रुचिराण्यपि पुष्पाणि पादपानामतिश्रिया। निष्फलानि मही यान्ति समं मधुकरोत्करैः॥
English: Behold, O Laksmana, In this season of spring flowers of this forest rich in their load of flowers are of no avail to me. These pleasant flowers of the trees have been uselessly falling on the earth along with the swarms of black bees.
Sanskrit: नदन्ति कामं शकुना मुदिताः सदृशः कलम्। आह्वयन्त इवान्योन्यं कामोन्मादकरा मम।४६।।
English: The birds exciting my desire have been delightedly warbling in flocks as if welcoming each other.
Sanskrit: वसन्तो यदि तत्रापि यत्र मे वसति प्रिया। नूनं परवशा सीता सापि शोचत्यहं यथा।४७।।
English: Surely Sītā, under the influence of another person, is lamenting in the same strain, as I do, if spring has appeared there.
Sanskrit: नूनं न तु वसन्तस्तं देशं स्पृशति यत्र सा। कथं ह्यसितपद्माक्षी वर्तयेत् सा मया विना ॥
English: Even if spring has not appeared there how can Sītā having eyes resembling full-blown lotuses live in my separation?
