Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 30 Shloka 23

दिग्धै: arrows smeared with poison, गजाङ्गना इव like a cowelephant, सा she, बहुभिः many, वाक्यैः with words, विद्धा was pierled, चिरसन्नियतम् longsuppressed, बाष्पम् tears, आरणिः अग्निमिव like fire produced by arani (a firekindling stick), मुमोच released.

Pierced by so many words (of objection from Rama), Sita felt like a cowelephant penetrated by poisonsmeared arrrows. And shed her longsuppressed tears like arani (a firekindling stick) kindling fire.
