यत्तु पौरजनो राजन्धर्मेण समवाप्नुयात् । अहं तु नानुशोचामि स्वशरीरं नरर्षभ ॥ 7-48-16 ॥
Whatever the citizens may obtain through this righteousness, O king — for myself, I do not grieve for my own body, O bull among men.
english translation
यथापवादं पौराणां तथैव रघुनन्दन । पतिर्हि देवता नार्याः पतिर्बन्धुः पतिर्गुरुः ॥ 7-48-17 ॥
Just as the slander of the citizens demands, so let it be, O delight of the Raghus; for the husband is a woman's deity, the husband is her kinsman, the husband is her preceptor.
english translation
प्राणैरपि प्रियं तस्माद्भर्तुः कार्यं विशेषतः । इति मद्वचनाद्रामो वक्तव्यो मम सङ्ग्रहः । निरीक्ष्य मा ऽद्य गच्छ त्वमृतुकालातिवर्तिनीम् ॥ 7-48-18 ॥
Therefore, even at the cost of one's life, what pleases the husband must be done above all. Thus, in my words, Rama is to be told my entreaty: that you cast me out today after seeing that the time of my fertile season had passed.
english translation
एवं ब्रुवन्त्यां सीतायां लक्ष्मणो दीनचेतनः । शिरसा ऽ ऽवन्द्य धरणीं व्याहर्तुं न शशाक ह ॥ 7-48-19 ॥
When Sita spoke in this way, Lakshmana, his mind dejected, bowed his head to the earth and was unable to utter a word.
english translation
प्रदक्षिणं च तां कृत्वा रुदन्नेव महास्वनः । ध्यात्वा मुहूर्तं तामाह किं मां वक्ष्यसि शोभने ॥ 7-48-20 ॥
Having circumambulated her, weeping aloud with a great cry, and having reflected for a moment, he said to her: What shall you say of me, O lovely one?
