Aranya Kanda, Sarga 52

सा तु ताराधिपमुखी रावणेन समीक्ष्य तम्। गृध्रराजं विनिहतं विललाप सुदुःखिता।।3.52.1।।

sā tu tārādhipamukhī rāvaṇena samīkṣya tam| gṛdhrarājaṃ vinihataṃ vilalāpa suduḥkhitā

Sita,whose face was like the lord of the stars (Moon), saw Jatayu, king of birds, struck down by Ravana, and lamented in extreme grif :

निमित्तं लक्षणज्ञानं शकुनिस्वरदर्शनम्। अवश्यं सुखदुःखेषु नराणां प्रतिदृश्यते।।3.52.2।।

nimittaṃ lakṣaṇajñānaṃ śakunisvaradarśanam| avaśyaṃ sukhaduḥkheṣu narāṇāṃ pratidṛśyate

People, for sure, foresee weal and woe in life from auspicious symptoms and ominous sounds.

नूनं राम न जानासि महद्व्यसनमात्मनः। धावन्ति नूनं काकुत्स्थं मदर्थं मृगपक्षिणः।।3.52.3।।

nūnaṃ rāma na jānāsi mahadvyasanamātmanaḥ| dhāvanti nūnaṃ kākutsthaṃ madarthaṃ mṛgapakṣiṇaḥ

O Rama you are, indeed, unaware of the great disaster that has befallen you. All the animals and birds are running for my sake to tell you about me, O scion of the Kakutsthas.

अयं हि पापचारेण मां त्रातुमभिसङ्गतः। शेते विनिहतो भूमौ ममाभाग्याद्विहंगमः।।3.52.4।।

ayaṃ hi pāpacāreṇa māṃ trātumabhisaṅgataḥ| śete vinihato bhūmau mamābhāgyādvihaṃgamaḥ

'This bird that came forward to save me is hit by the sinner(Ravana) and lies down on the ground, as ill luck would have it.

त्राहि मामद्य काकुत्स्थ लक्ष्मणेति वराङ्गना। सुसन्त्रस्ता समाक्रन्दच्छृण्वतां तु यथान्तिके।।3.52.5।।

trāhi māmadya kākutstha lakṣmaṇeti varāṅganā| susantrastā samākrandacchṛṇvatāṃ tu yathāntike

Terribly frightened, the beautiful lady (Sita) cried bitterly, 'O Rama, O Lakshmana, save me', as if they were close by and were listening to her.

तां क्लिष्टमाल्याभरणां विलपन्तीमनाथवत्। अभ्यधावत् वैदेहीं रावणो राक्षसाधिपः।।3.52.6।।

tāṃ kliṣṭamālyābharaṇāṃ vilapantīmanāthavat| abhyadhāvat vaidehīṃ rāvaṇo rākṣasādhipaḥ

Ravana, king of the demons, ran towards Sita who was weeping like an orphan with her garlands and ornaments crushed.

तां लतामिव वेष्टन्तीमालिङ्गन्तीं महाद्रुमान्। मुञ्च मुञ्चेति बहुशः प्रवदन्राक्षसाधिपः।।3.52.7।। क्रोशन्तीं राम रामेति रामेण रहितां वने। जीवितान्ताय केशेषु जग्राहान्तकसन्निभः।।3.52.8।।

tāṃ latāmiva veṣṭantīmāliṅgantīṃ mahādrumān| muñca muñceti bahuśaḥ pravadanrākṣasādhipaḥ krośantīṃ rāma rāmeti rāmeṇa rahitāṃ vane| jīvitāntāya keśeṣu jagrāhāntakasannibhaḥ

Separated from Rama in the forest, Sita hugged huge trees, running round and round like a creeper coiled, crying loudly, 'Rama, O Rama' . The king of the demons, like Yama, caught hold of her hair only to invite his death, all the time saying, Leave it, Leave it (Leave the tree).

तां लतामिव वेष्टन्तीमालिङ्गन्तीं महाद्रुमान्। मुञ्च मुञ्चेति बहुशः प्रवदन्राक्षसाधिपः।।3.52.7।। क्रोशन्तीं राम रामेति रामेण रहितां वने। जीवितान्ताय केशेषु जग्राहान्तकसन्निभः।।3.52.8।।

tāṃ latāmiva veṣṭantīmāliṅgantīṃ mahādrumān| muñca muñceti bahuśaḥ pravadanrākṣasādhipaḥ krośantīṃ rāma rāmeti rāmeṇa rahitāṃ vane| jīvitāntāya keśeṣu jagrāhāntakasannibhaḥ

Separated from Rama in the forest, Sita hugged huge trees, running round and round like a creeper coiled, crying loudly, 'Rama, O Rama' . The king of the demons, like Yama, caught hold of her hair only to invite his death, all the time saying, Leave it, Leave it (Leave the tree).

प्रधर्षितायां सीतायां बभूव सचराचरम्। जगत्सर्वममर्यादं तमसान्धेन संवृतम्।।3.52.9।। न वाति मारुतस्तत्र निष्प्रभोऽभूद्दिवाकरः।

pradharṣitāyāṃ sītāyāṃ babhūva sacarācaram| jagatsarvamamaryādaṃ tamasāndhena saṃvṛtam na vāti mārutastatra niṣprabho'bhūddivākaraḥ|

While Sita was being assaulted, the earth with the animate and the inanimate crossed all limits of moral law and became enveloped in blinding darkness. The wind ceased to blow and the Sun, to shine.

दृष्ट्वा सीतां परामृष्टां दीनां दिव्येन चक्षुषा।।3.52.10।। कृतं कार्यमिति श्रीमान्व्याजहार पितामहः।

dṛṣṭvā sītāṃ parāmṛṣṭāṃ dīnāṃ divyena cakṣuṣā kṛtaṃ kāryamiti śrīmānvyājahāra pitāmahaḥ|

Brahma, the glorious Grandfather, saw with his divine eyes, Sita in a desperate state caught by the enemy and said, 'The task is accomplished.

प्रहृष्टा व्यथिताश्चासन्सर्वे ते परमर्षयः।।3.52.11।। दृष्ट्वा सीतां परामृष्टां दण्डकारण्यवासिनः। रावणस्य विनाशं च प्राप्तं बुद्ध्वा यदृच्छया।।3.52.12।।

prahṛṣṭā vyathitāścāsansarve te paramarṣayaḥ dṛṣṭvā sītāṃ parāmṛṣṭāṃ daṇḍakāraṇyavāsinaḥ| rāvaṇasya vināśaṃ ca prāptaṃ buddhvā yadṛcchayā

All the great seers residing in Dandaka forest felt both happy and sad, happy because the destruction of Ravana is at hand and sad because Sita was in distress.

प्रहृष्टा व्यथिताश्चासन्सर्वे ते परमर्षयः।।3.52.11।। दृष्ट्वा सीतां परामृष्टां दण्डकारण्यवासिनः। रावणस्य विनाशं च प्राप्तं बुद्ध्वा यदृच्छया।।3.52.12।।

prahṛṣṭā vyathitāścāsansarve te paramarṣayaḥ dṛṣṭvā sītāṃ parāmṛṣṭāṃ daṇḍakāraṇyavāsinaḥ| rāvaṇasya vināśaṃ ca prāptaṃ buddhvā yadṛcchayā

All the great seers residing in Dandaka forest felt both happy and sad, happy because the destruction of Ravana is at hand and sad because Sita was in distress.

स तु तां राम रामेति रुदन्तीं लक्ष्मणेति च। जगामादाय चाकाशं रावणो राक्षसाधिपः।।3.52.13।।

sa tu tāṃ rāma rāmeti rudantīṃ lakṣmaṇeti ca| jagāmādāya cākāśaṃ rāvaṇo rākṣasādhipaḥ

While Sita was crying, 'O Rama, O Lakshmana', Ravana, lord of the demons, carried her back into the sky.

तप्ताभरणजुष्टाङ्गी पीतकौशेयवासिनी। रराजराजपुत्री तुविद्युत्सौदामिनी यथा।।3.52.14।।

taptābharaṇajuṣṭāṅgī pītakauśeyavāsinī| rarājarājaputrī tuvidyutsaudāminī yathā

SIta who had put on pure gold ornaments on her body and who was clad in yellow silk shone like lightning.

उद्धूतेन च वस्त्रेण तस्याः पीतेन रावणः। अधिकं परिबभ्राज गिरिर्दीप्त इवाग्निना।।3.52.15।।

uddhūtena ca vastreṇa tasyāḥ pītena rāvaṇaḥ| adhikaṃ paribabhrāja girirdīpta ivāgninā

Ravana was shining all the more with(her) yellow clothes blowing in the air, and looked like a mountain shining with fire burning around.

तस्याः परमकल्याण्यास्ताम्राणि सुरभीणि च। पद्मपत्राणि वैदेह्या अभ्यकीर्यन्त रावणम्।।3.52.16।।

tasyāḥ paramakalyāṇyāstāmrāṇi surabhīṇi ca| padmapatrāṇi vaidehyā abhyakīryanta rāvaṇam

The red lotus petals worn by the most auspicious Sita, princess of Videha, were showered on Ravana.

तस्याः कौशेयमुद्धूतमाकाशे कनकप्रभम्। बभौ चादित्यरागेण ताम्रमभ्रमिवातपे।।3.52.17।।

tasyāḥ kauśeyamuddhūtamākāśe kanakaprabham| babhau cādityarāgeṇa tāmramabhramivātape

As the goldencoloured garment worn by Sita blew in the wind, it looked like a coppercoloured cloud illumined by the evening Sun in the sky.

तस्यास्तत्सुनसं वक्त्रमाकाशे रावणाङ्कगम्। न रराज विना रामं विनालमिव पङ्कजम्।।3.52.18।।

tasyāstatsunasaṃ vaktramākāśe rāvaṇāṅkagam| na rarāja vinā rāmaṃ vinālamiva paṅkajam

Sita's face with her beautiful nose on Ravana's lap and not on Rama's, shone no more like a lotus without its stalk.

बभूव जलदं नीलं भित्त्वा चन्द्र इवोदितः। सुललाटं सुकेशान्तं पद्मगर्भाभमव्रणम्।।3.52.19।। शुक्लैस्सुविमलैर्दन्तै प्रभावद्भिरलङ्कृतम्। तस्यास्तद्विमलं वक्त्रमाकाशे रावणाङ्कगम्।।3.52.20।। रुदितं व्यपमृष्टास्रं चन्द्रवत्प्रियदर्शनम्। सुनासं चारुताम्रोष्ठमाकाशे हाटकप्रभम्।।3.52.21।।

babhūva jaladaṃ nīlaṃ bhittvā candra ivoditaḥ| sulalāṭaṃ sukeśāntaṃ padmagarbhābhamavraṇam śuklaissuvimalairdantai prabhāvadbhiralaṅkṛtam| tasyāstadvimalaṃ vaktramākāśe rāvaṇāṅkagam ruditaṃ vyapamṛṣṭāsraṃ candravatpriyadarśanam| sunāsaṃ cārutāmroṣṭhamākāśe hāṭakaprabham

Sita's face looked beautiful with her smooth forehead, shining hair and spotless complexion like the inside of a lotus, with clean, white, shining teeth, a nice nose and lovely red lips. She was continuously weeping and wiping her tears. Her face which was pleasing like the Moon on the lap of Ravana appeared as though the Moon was rising through dark clouds.

बभूव जलदं नीलं भित्त्वा चन्द्र इवोदितः। सुललाटं सुकेशान्तं पद्मगर्भाभमव्रणम्।।3.52.19।। शुक्लैस्सुविमलैर्दन्तै प्रभावद्भिरलङ्कृतम्। तस्यास्तद्विमलं वक्त्रमाकाशे रावणाङ्कगम्।।3.52.20।। रुदितं व्यपमृष्टास्रं चन्द्रवत्प्रियदर्शनम्। सुनासं चारुताम्रोष्ठमाकाशे हाटकप्रभम्।।3.52.21।।

babhūva jaladaṃ nīlaṃ bhittvā candra ivoditaḥ| sulalāṭaṃ sukeśāntaṃ padmagarbhābhamavraṇam śuklaissuvimalairdantai prabhāvadbhiralaṅkṛtam| tasyāstadvimalaṃ vaktramākāśe rāvaṇāṅkagam ruditaṃ vyapamṛṣṭāsraṃ candravatpriyadarśanam| sunāsaṃ cārutāmroṣṭhamākāśe hāṭakaprabham

Sita's face looked beautiful with her smooth forehead, shining hair and spotless complexion like the inside of a lotus, with clean, white, shining teeth, a nice nose and lovely red lips. She was continuously weeping and wiping her tears. Her face which was pleasing like the Moon on the lap of Ravana appeared as though the Moon was rising through dark clouds.

बभूव जलदं नीलं भित्त्वा चन्द्र इवोदितः। सुललाटं सुकेशान्तं पद्मगर्भाभमव्रणम्।।3.52.19।। शुक्लैस्सुविमलैर्दन्तै प्रभावद्भिरलङ्कृतम्। तस्यास्तद्विमलं वक्त्रमाकाशे रावणाङ्कगम्।।3.52.20।। रुदितं व्यपमृष्टास्रं चन्द्रवत्प्रियदर्शनम्। सुनासं चारुताम्रोष्ठमाकाशे हाटकप्रभम्।।3.52.21।।

babhūva jaladaṃ nīlaṃ bhittvā candra ivoditaḥ| sulalāṭaṃ sukeśāntaṃ padmagarbhābhamavraṇam śuklaissuvimalairdantai prabhāvadbhiralaṅkṛtam| tasyāstadvimalaṃ vaktramākāśe rāvaṇāṅkagam ruditaṃ vyapamṛṣṭāsraṃ candravatpriyadarśanam| sunāsaṃ cārutāmroṣṭhamākāśe hāṭakaprabham

Sita's face looked beautiful with her smooth forehead, shining hair and spotless complexion like the inside of a lotus, with clean, white, shining teeth, a nice nose and lovely red lips. She was continuously weeping and wiping her tears. Her face which was pleasing like the Moon on the lap of Ravana appeared as though the Moon was rising through dark clouds.

राक्षसेन समाधूतं तस्यास्तद्वदनं शुभम्। शुशुभे न विना रामंदिवा चन्द्र इवोदितः।।3.52.22।।

rākṣasena samādhūtaṃ tasyāstadvadanaṃ śubham| śuśubhe na vinā rāmaṃdivā candra ivoditaḥ

Shaken up by the demon and deprived of Rama's company, Sita's beautiful face looked like the Moon during daytime without any glow.

सा हेमवर्णा नीलाङ्गं मैथिली राक्षसाधिपम्। शुशुभे काञ्चनी काञ्ची नीलं मणिमिवाश्रिता।।3.52.23।।

sā hemavarṇā nīlāṅgaṃ maithilī rākṣasādhipam| śuśubhe kāñcanī kāñcī nīlaṃ maṇimivāśritā

Goldencomplexioned Sita, princess of Mithila, held by the darkcoloured king of the demons, shone like a girdle resting on a dark blue sapphire.

सा पद्मगौरी हेमाभा रावणं जनकात्मजा। विद्युद्घनमिवाविश्य शुशुभे तप्तभूषणा।।3.52.24।।

sā padmagaurī hemābhā rāvaṇaṃ janakātmajā| vidyudghanamivāviśya śuśubhe taptabhūṣaṇā

Bright like a golden lotus, adorned with gold ornaments, Sita, the daughter of Janaka, held by Ravana, looked like a streak of lightning shining bright in a dark cloud.

तस्या भूषणघोषेण वैदेह्या राक्षसाधिपः। बभौ सचपलो नीलस्सघोष इव तोयदः।।3.52.25।।

tasyā bhūṣaṇaghoṣeṇa vaidehyā rākṣasādhipaḥ| babhau sacapalo nīlassaghoṣa iva toyadaḥ

The lord of the demons by the side of Sita, princess of Videha with her jingling ornaments looked like the darkblue raincloud with its lightning and thunder.

उत्तमाङ्गाच्च्युता तस्याः पुष्पवृष्टिस्समन्ततः। सीताया ह्रिममाणायाः पपात धरणीतले।।3.52.26।।

uttamāṅgāccyutā tasyāḥ puṣpavṛṣṭissamantataḥ| sītāyā hrimamāṇāyāḥ papāta dharaṇītale

As Sita was being carried away, the shower of flowers dropped from her head and scattered on the earth.

सा तु रावणवेगेन पुष्पवृष्टिः समन्ततः। समाधूता दशग्रीवं पुनरेवाभ्यवर्तत।।3.52.27।।

sā tu rāvaṇavegena puṣpavṛṣṭiḥ samantataḥ| samādhūtā daśagrīvaṃ punarevābhyavartata

The shower of flowers that fell flew towards the tenheaded Ravana again in the swirling motion (of the chariot).

अभ्यवर्तत पुष्पाणां धारा वैश्रवणानुजम्। नक्षत्रमाला विमला मेरुं नगमिवोन्नतम्।।3.52.28।।

abhyavartata puṣpāṇāṃ dhārā vaiśravaṇānujam| nakṣatramālā vimalā meruṃ nagamivonnatam

The shower of flowers that dropped went round towards Ravana, brother of Vaisravana, like the bright garland of stars move towards mount Meru.

चरणान्नूपुरं भ्रष्टं वैदेह्या रत्नभूषितम्। विद्युन्मण्डलसङ्काशं पपात मधुरस्वनम्।।3.52.29।।

caraṇānnūpuraṃ bhraṣṭaṃ vaidehyā ratnabhūṣitam| vidyunmaṇḍalasaṅkāśaṃ papāta madhurasvanam

The gemstudded anklet of Sita, looking like an orb of lightning, dropped with a gentle sound.

तरुप्रवालरक्ता सा नीलाङ्गं राक्षसेश्वरम्। प्राशोभयत वैदेही गजं कक्ष्येव काञ्चनी।।3.52.30।।

tarupravālaraktā sā nīlāṅgaṃ rākṣaseśvaram| prāśobhayata vaidehī gajaṃ kakṣyeva kāñcanī

With her golden girdle, Sita whose complexion resembled tender leaves looked like a golden chain to bind an elephant with. (Here Ravana is the elephant).

तां महोल्कामिवाकाशे दीप्यमानां स्वतेजसा। जहाराऽकाशमाविस्य सीतां वैश्रवणानुजः।।3.52.31।।

tāṃ maholkāmivākāśe dīpyamānāṃ svatejasā| jahārā'kāśamāvisya sītāṃ vaiśravaṇānujaḥ

The younger brother of Vaisravana (Ravana), like a massive comet, carried Sita, who was glowing in the radiance of her own beauty, and entered the sky.

तस्यास्तान्यग्निवर्णानि भूषणानि महीतले। सघोषाण्यवकीर्यन्त क्षीणास्तारा इवाम्बरात्।।3.52.32।।

tasyāstānyagnivarṇāni bhūṣaṇāni mahītale| saghoṣāṇyavakīryanta kṣīṇāstārā ivāmbarāt

Like the dim stars falling from the sky, her ornaments, bright as flame, scattered on the groundtinkling.

तस्यास्स्तनान्तराद्भ्रष्टो हारस्ताराधिपद्युतिः। वैदेह्या निपतन्भाति गङ्गेव गगनाच्च्युता।।3.52.33।।

tasyāsstanāntarādbhraṣṭo hārastārādhipadyutiḥ| vaidehyā nipatanbhāti gaṅgeva gaganāccyutā

Sita's necklace shining like the bright Moon slipped from between her breasts like the river Ganga falling down from the sky.

उत्पातवाताभिहता नानाद्विजगणायुताः। माभैरिति विधूताग्रा व्याजह्रुरिव पादपाः।।3.52.34।।

utpātavātābhihatā nānādvijagaṇāyutāḥ| mābhairiti vidhūtāgrā vyājahruriva pādapāḥ

The trees filled with birds of all kinds, shaken at the top by stormy winds seemed to be saying to Sita, 'Be not afraid'.

नलिन्यो ध्वस्तकमलास्त्रस्तमीनजलेचराः। सखीमिव गतोच्छ्वासामन्वशोचन्त मैथिलीम्।।3.52.35।।

nalinyo dhvastakamalāstrastamīnajalecarāḥ| sakhīmiva gatocchvāsāmanvaśocanta maithilīm

Lotusponds with withering lotuses and with disturbed aquatic life like fishes in fright were as if grieving for Sita as one would grieve for a companion who is unable to breathe.

समन्तादभिसम्पत्य सिंहव्याघ्रमृगद्विजाः। अन्वधावंस्तदा रोषात्सीतां छायानुगामिनः।।3.52.36।।

samantādabhisampatya siṃhavyāghramṛgadvijāḥ| anvadhāvaṃstadā roṣātsītāṃ chāyānugāminaḥ

Then the lions, tigers, deer and birds gathered together in anger (also anguish) and ran after Sita's shadow.

जलप्रपातास्रमुखाश्शृङ्गैरुच्छ्रितबाहुभिः। सीतायां ह्रियमाणायां विक्रोशन्तीव पर्वताः।।3.52.37।।

jalaprapātāsramukhāśśṛṅgairucchritabāhubhiḥ| sītāyāṃ hriyamāṇāyāṃ vikrośantīva parvatāḥ

The mountains were shedding tears in the form of waterfalls, and crying with hands lifted up in the form of peaks, while Sita was being carried away.

ह्रियमाणां तु वैदेहीं दृष्ट्वा दीनो दिवाकरः। प्रतिध्वस्तप्रभश्श्रीमानासीत्पाण्डरमण्डलः।।3.52.38।।

hriyamāṇāṃ tu vaidehīṃ dṛṣṭvā dīno divākaraḥ| pratidhvastaprabhaśśrīmānāsītpāṇḍaramaṇḍalaḥ

Seeing Sita abducted, the glorious Sun looked lustreless and distraught. He developed a pale white disk around him.

नास्ति धर्मः कुतस्सत्यं नार्जवं नानृशंसता। यत्र रामस्य वैदेहीं भार्यां हरति रावणः।।3.52.39।। इति सर्वाणि भूतानि गणशः पर्यदेवयन्।

nāsti dharmaḥ kutassatyaṃ nārjavaṃ nānṛśaṃsatā| yatra rāmasya vaidehīṃ bhāryāṃ harati rāvaṇaḥ iti sarvāṇi bhūtāni gaṇaśaḥ paryadevayan|

When Rama's consort, the princess of Videha, is being carried away by Ravana, how can there be rightousness or truth or uprightness or compassion for men? Thus bewailed all beings in groups.

वित्रस्तका दीनमुखा रुरुदुर्मृगपोतकाः।।3.52.40।। उद्वीक्ष्योद्वीक्ष्य नयनैरस्रपाताविलेक्षणाः।

vitrastakā dīnamukhā rurudurmṛgapotakāḥ udvīkṣyodvīkṣya nayanairasrapātāvilekṣaṇāḥ|

The young deer full of fear and distress looked again and again with eyes blurred with tears at the direction in which Sita went. And wept.

सुप्रवेपितगात्राश्च बभूवुर्वनदेवताः।।3.52.41।। विक्रोशन्तीं दृढं सीतां दृष्ट्वा दुःखं तथा गताम्।

supravepitagātrāśca babhūvurvanadevatāḥ vikrośantīṃ dṛḍhaṃ sītāṃ dṛṣṭvā duḥkhaṃ tathā gatām|

The sylvan deities shivered, seeing Sita's grief and cried aloud.

तां तु लक्ष्मण रामेति क्रोशन्तीं मधुरस्वरम्।।3.52.42।। अवेक्षमाणां बहुशो वैदेहीं धरणीतलम्। स तामाकुलकेशान्तां विप्रमृष्टविशेषकाम्।।3.52.43।। जहारात्म विनाशाय दशग्रीवो मनस्स्विनीम्।

tāṃ tu lakṣmaṇa rāmeti krośantīṃ madhurasvaram avekṣamāṇāṃ bahuśo vaidehīṃ dharaṇītalam| sa tāmākulakeśāntāṃ vipramṛṣṭaviśeṣakām jahārātma vināśāya daśagrīvo manassvinīm|

The ten headed Ravana abducted Sita who was calling out, O Rama, O Lakshmana with her sweet voice, weeping , looking down on the earth her hair dishevelled and auspicious, (vermilion) mark on the forehead erased. Ravana abducted this highminded Sita for his own destruction.

तां तु लक्ष्मण रामेति क्रोशन्तीं मधुरस्वरम्।।3.52.42।। अवेक्षमाणां बहुशो वैदेहीं धरणीतलम्। स तामाकुलकेशान्तां विप्रमृष्टविशेषकाम्।।3.52.43।। जहारात्म विनाशाय दशग्रीवो मनस्स्विनीम्।

tāṃ tu lakṣmaṇa rāmeti krośantīṃ madhurasvaram avekṣamāṇāṃ bahuśo vaidehīṃ dharaṇītalam| sa tāmākulakeśāntāṃ vipramṛṣṭaviśeṣakām jahārātma vināśāya daśagrīvo manassvinīm|

The ten headed Ravana abducted Sita who was calling out, O Rama, O Lakshmana with her sweet voice, weeping , looking down on the earth her hair dishevelled and auspicious, (vermilion) mark on the forehead erased. Ravana abducted this highminded Sita for his own destruction.

ततस्तु सा चारुदती शुचिस्मिता विनाकृता बन्धुजनेन मैथिली। अपश्यती राघवलक्ष्मणावुभौ विवर्णवक्त्राभयभारपीडिता।।3.52.44।।

tatastu sā cārudatī śucismitā vinākṛtā bandhujanena maithilī| apaśyatī rāghavalakṣmaṇāvubhau vivarṇavaktrābhayabhārapīḍitā

Then Sita whose teeth were beautiful and smile, sweet was distanced from her kins, and, unable to see both Rama and Lakshmana, grew pale in intense fear. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अरण्यकाण्डे द्विपञ्चाशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fiftysecond sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
