The Ramayan of Valmiki Canto XXXVIII. The Ascent Of Suvela. / Canto XLII. The Sally. / Canto XLIII. The Single Combats. / Canto XLIV. The Night.; lines 52243-52407 confidence: high

Sítá laments the brothers as slain, Trijaṭá argues that the bloodied heroes live, and Ráma later awakens from a trance while Lakshmaṇ remains senseless.
