But if the beauteous deer, pursued,
Thine arts to take it still elude,
Strike it, O chieftain, and the skin
Will be a treasure, laid within.
O, how I long my time to pass
Sitting upon the tender grass,
With that soft fell beneath me spread
Bright with its hair of golden thread!
In plain words: Sita tells Rama that if he cannot catch the golden deer alive, he should shoot it. She dreams of sitting on its soft golden skin spread over the grass.
