| - | |
| 'Do I hear my husband rightly are these words my Rama spake | L |
| And her banished lord and husband will the wedded wife forsake | L |
| - | |
| Lightly I dismiss the counsel which my lord hath lightly said | M |
| For it ill beseems a warrior and my husband's princely grade | N |
| - | |
| For the faithful woman follows where her wedded lord may lead | M |
| In the banishment of Rama Sita's exile is decreed | O |
| - | |

| - | |
| World renowned is Rama's valour fearless by her Rama's side | Q |
| Sita will still live and wander with a faithful woman's pride | Q |
| - | |
| And the wild fruit she will gather from the fresh and fragrant wood | T |
| And the food by Rama tasted shall be Sita's cherished food | U |
| - | |
| Bid me seek the sylvan greenwoods wooded hills and plateaus high | V |
| Limpid rills and crystal nullas as they softly ripple by | V |
| - | |
| And where in the lake of lotus tuneful ducks their plumage lave | W |
| Let me with my loving Rama skim the cool translucent wave | W |
| - | |
| Years will pass in happy union happiest lot to woman given | X |
| Sita seeks not throne or empire nor the brighter joys of heaven | X |
| - | |
| Heaven conceals not brighter mansions in its sunny fields of pride | Q |
| Where without her lord and husband faithful Sita would reside | Q |
| - | |
| Therefore let me seek the jungle where the jungle rangers rove | C |
| Dearer than the royal palace where I share my husband's love | D |
| - | |
| And my heart in sweet communion shall my Rama's wishes share | G |
| And my wifely toil shall lighten Rama's load of woe and care ' | - |
| - | |
| Vainly gentle Rama pleaded dangers of the jungle life | R |
| Vainly spake of toil and trial to a true and tender wife | R |
