English: And as she, bereft of the company of Răma in the wilderness, was wailing, saying, O Rāma, O Rāma, that one resembling the Destroyer himself, with the view of compassing his own end, seized her by her hair. On Vaidehi being thus outraged, this entire world consisting of mobile and immobile objects, had its nature altered. A dense darkness enveloped (everything).
Sanskrit: न वाति मारुतस्तत्र निष्प्रभोऽभूद् दिवाकरः। दृष्ट्वा सीतां परामृष्टां देवो दिव्येन चक्षुषा ॥ कृतं कार्यमिति श्रीमान् व्याजहार पितामहः।
English: And the air did not breathe there; and the sun grew dim. Espying with his divine vision that Sītā was overcome, that Deity, the graceful Great-father exclaimed, Our work is accomplished.
Sanskrit: प्रहष्टा व्यथिताश्चासन् सर्वे ते परमर्षयः॥ दृष्ट्वा सीतां परामृष्टां दण्डकारण्यवासिनः। रावणस्य विनाशं च प्राप्तं बुद्ध्वा यदृच्छया॥
English: And seeing Sītā overpowered, the supreme saints inhabiting the Dandaka forest, concluding the destruction of Rāvaņa to be as good as accomplished without much ado, became at once delighted and aggrieved.
