दग्धेयं नगरी लङ्का साट्टप्राकारतोरणा । जानकी न च दग्धेति विस्मयोऽद्भुत एव नः ॥
Roman Transliteration (IAST)
dagdheyaṃ nagarī laṅkā sāṭṭaprākāratoraṇā | jānakī na ca dagdheti vismayo'dbhuta eva naḥ ||
English Scholarly Translation
The females of Rākşasa accompanied by boys and old folks, are flying amain; and in consequence of the hubbub it seems as if (Lankā) is in lamentation through her mountaincaverns. Burnt is this city of Lankā with her turrets, walls and gate-ways; and we are astonished that Jānakī is not burnt.
