स्वप्नो मया अयम् विकृतो अद्य दृष्टः शाखा मृगः शास्त्र गणैः निषिद्धः | स्वस्ति अस्तु रामाय सलक्ष्मणाय तथा पितुः मे जनकस्य राज्ञः || ५-३२-९
- 'Today I saw an ugly monkey in my dream. Its sight in a dream is inauspicious according to sastras. Let it be auspicious for Lakshmana and Rama for the sake of my father Janaka. [5-32-9]
स्वप्नोऽपि नायं नहि मेऽस्ति निद्रा शोकेन दुःखेन च पीडितायाः | सुखं हि मे नास्ति यतोऽस्मि हीना तेनेन्दुपूर्णप्रतिमाननेन || ५-३२-१०
'But no, it was not a dream for tormented by grief and sorrow I cannot have a dream. When separated from the moonfaced Rama I have no sleep or pleasure, how can I have dream? [5-32-10]
