श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इत्युक्त्वा राक्षसी प्रश्नान्सा वक्तुमुपचक्रमे ।
उच्यतामिति राज्ञोक्ते तानिमान्शृणु राघव ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
ityuktvā rākṣasī praśnānsā vaktumupacakrame |
ucyatāmiti rājñokte tānimānśṛṇu rāghava || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—After saying so, the fiend began to put forth her queries; and you should be attentive to them Rama, like the prince who told her to go on.
