Through her left eye quick throbbings shot,
Glad signs the lady doubted not,
That told their hopeful tale.
The bright left eye of Báli felt
An inauspicious throb that dealt
A deadly blow that day.
In plain words: At that moment Sita's left eye twitches, which for a woman was a lucky sign, and she feels hope. But Bali's left eye also twitches, a bad sign for a man, warning of his death that day.
