1
evam ukto hanumatā rāmo daśarathātmajaḥ
taṃ maṇiṃ hṛdaye kṛtvā praruroda salakṣmaṇaḥ
2
taṃ tu dṛṣṭvā maṇiśreṣṭhaṃ rāghavaḥ śokakarśitaḥ

3

4

vadhūkāle yathā baddham adhikaṃ mūrdhni śobhate
5
ayaṃ hi jalasaṃbhūto maṇiḥ pravarapūjitaḥ

6

7
ayaṃ hi śobhate tasyāḥ priyāyā mūrdhni me maṇiḥ

8

maṇiṃ paśyāmi saumitre vaidehīm āgataṃ vinā
10
ciraṃ jīvati vaidehī yadi māsaṃ dhariṣyati
kṣaṇaṃ saumya na jīveyaṃ vinā tām asitekṣaṇām
11
naya mām api taṃ deśaṃ yatra dṛṣṭā mama priyā
na tiṣṭheyaṃ kṣaṇam api pravṛttim upalabhya ca
12
kathaṃ sā mama suśroṇi bhīru bhīruḥ satī tadā
bhayāvahānāṃ ghorāṇāṃ madhye tiṣṭhati rakṣasām
13
śāradas timironmukho nūnaṃ candra ivāmbudaiḥ
āvṛtaṃ vadanaṃ tasyā na virājati rākṣasaiḥ
14
kim āha sītā hanumaṃs tattvataḥ kathayasva me
etena khalu jīviṣye bheṣajenāturo yathā
15

madvihīnā varārohā hanuman kathayasva me
duḥkhād duḥkhataraṃ prāpya kathaṃ jīvati jānakī
