दृष्ट्वा तु मैथिलीं सीतामाश्रमे सम्प्रवेशिताम् । सन्तापमगमद्घोरं लक्ष्मणो दीनचेतनः ॥ 7-50-1 ॥

But seeing Sita, the daughter of Mithila, brought into the hermitage, Lakshmana, dejected in mind, was overcome by terrible anguish.

english translation

अब्रवीच्च महातेजाः सुमन्त्रं मन्त्रसारथिम् । सीतासन्तापजं दुःखं पश्य रामस्य सारथे ॥ 7-50-2 ॥

And the greatly resplendent one said to Sumantra, the charioteer skilled in counsel: "O charioteer, behold the sorrow of Rama born of Sita's distress."

english translation

ततो दुःखतरं किं नु राघवस्य भविष्यति । पत्नीं शुद्धसमाचारां विसृज्य जनकात्मजाम् ॥ 7-50-3 ॥

"What greater grief than this can there be for Raghava, who has cast off his wife of pure conduct, the daughter of Janaka?"

english translation

व्यक्तं दैवादहं मन्ये राघवस्य विना भवम् । वैदेह्या सारथे नित्यं दैवं हि दुरतिक्रमम् ॥ 7-50-4 ॥

"Clearly I think it is by fate that Raghava is now bereft of Vaidehi, O charioteer; for fate is indeed impossible to overcome."

english translation

यो हि देवान्सगन्धर्वानसुरान्सह राक्षसैः । निहन्याद्राघवः क्रुद्धः स दैवमनुवर्तते ॥ 7-50-5 ॥

"For he who, when enraged, could slay the gods together with the gandharvas, the asuras, and the rakshasas—that very Raghava is yet subject to fate."
