श्रुत्वा परिषदो मध्ये ह्यपवादं सुदारुणम् । पुरे जनपदे चैव त्वत्कृते जनकात्मजे । रामः सन्तप्तहृदयो मा निवेद्य गृहं गतः ॥ 7-47-11 ॥

Having heard in the midst of the assembly the most dreadful slander spread on your account, in the city and in the countryside alike, O daughter of Janaka, Rama, his heart tormented, came home without telling me anything of it.

english translation

न तानि वचनीयानि मया देवि तवाग्रतः । यानि राज्ञा हृदि न्यस्तान्यमर्षात्पृष्ठतः कृतः ॥ 7-47-12 ॥

Those words, O Devi, are not to be repeated by me before you — the things which the king laid up in his heart and then, out of indignation, cast behind him.

english translation

सा त्वं त्यक्ता नृपतिना निर्दोषा मम सन्निधौ । पौरापवादभीतेन ग्राह्यं देवि न ते ऽन्यथा ॥ 7-47-13 ॥

You, though faultless, have been abandoned by the king in my presence, for he is afraid of the citizens' slander; O Devi, you must not take it otherwise.

english translation

आश्रमान्तेषु च मया त्यक्तव्या त्वं भविष्यसि । राज्ञः शासनमाज्ञाय तवेदं किल दौर्हृदम् ॥ 7-47-14 ॥

You are to be left by me near the hermitages, now that I have learned the king's command; and this journey, indeed, can pass for the longing of your pregnancy.

english translation

तदेतज्जाह्नवीतीरे ब्रह्मर्षीणां तपोवनम् । पुण्यं च रमणीयं च मा विषादं कृथाः शुभे ॥ 7-47-15 ॥

This here on the bank of the Ganga is the penance-grove of the Brahmin sages, holy and delightful; do not give way to despair, O blessed lady.
