इति भट्टिकाव्ये सीत।प्रत्याख्यानं नाम विंशतितमः सर्गः ।।
( तिङन्तकाण्डे लोड्विलासः सप्तमः परिच्छेदः ।)
34. And Oh Laksmana, prepare a burning pyre, the antidote of this censure; let either Rama be satisfied with me today or may the fire burn (me) out, the sinner."
35. Then after seeing the burning pyre arranged by Laksmana with the consent of Rama, Sita, having gone round Rama from the right, addressed a declaration to Rama :
36. Oh Rama, suspected by you, I sacrifice my body in the fire. May you all, including the monkeys , understand and listen.
37. Oh Fire of a blazing form, burn me out, (if I be) violated (Sullied); otherwise protect (me) like a friend (who is) disproved (to be) impure. Here, like the stream (trickle) of ghee for Vasu, have I, according to the prescribed rites, come to you who have shot out a garland of flames. ”
