सुन्दरकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२5.12.p12834
Sanskrit · 5.12.p12834
श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे द्वादशः सर्गः ॥५-१२॥
स तस्य मध्ये भवनस्य संस्थितो
लतागृहांश्चित्रगृहान् निशागृहान्।
जगाम सीतां प्रतिदर्शनोत्सुको
न चैव तां पश्यति चारुदर्शनाम्॥ १॥
English · Meaning
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, the twelfth canto. He, standing in the middle of that mansion, went through the bowers, the painted chambers, and the night-rooms, eager for a sight of Sītā; yet he does not at all see her, she of lovely appearance.

सुन्दरकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२5.12.p12835
Sanskrit · 5.12.p12835
स चिन्तयामास ततो महाकपिः
प्रियामपश्यन् रघुनन्दनस्य ताम्।
ध्रुवं न सीता ध्रियते यथा न मे
विचिन्वतो दर्शनमेति मैथिली॥ २॥
English · Meaning
Then the great monkey thought, not seeing that beloved woman of Raghunandana: “Surely Sita is not being sustained or kept alive, since Maithili does not come within my sight while I search.” The wording dhruvaṃ na sītā dhriyate permits the literal sense “surely Sita is not sustained”; the implication that she is no longer alive is contextual rather than an added textual wording.
That Jānakī, a chaste woman, wholly intent on protecting her own virtue, perhaps has been slain by this evildoer, the foremost among the rākṣasas, she who stood firm in the supreme path of noble conduct.
Having seen those wives of the king of the demons—disfigured in appearance, deformed, without radiance, with huge faces and long, grotesque features—Janaka’s daughter Sītā must have been overcome by fear.
Without seeing Sītā and without accomplishing the mission, I have spent a long time with the monkeys. I have no way of going into Sugrīva’s presence; he is a powerful monkey whose punishment is extremely severe.
