Shurpa-Naka
Shurpa-Naka describes seeing Rama, his brother and Sita in a forest hermitage. The speech presents the encounter in her own voice as she addresses the king.
From the text
There within a hermitage I beheld the lotus-eyed Rama, Glorious, holding arrows and bow, with hair coiled up, and clad in bark; And, even in like manner arrayed, his younger brother Laxuman; And the large-eyed Sita — his beautiful wife like a second Goddess Shri.
