I tell you the truth, O Råma, that these irrepressible twin brothers are your sons, O descendant of Raghu. I am the tenth son of Pracetā, so, far from speaking untruth it does not even spring up in my mind. I therefore know the truth that these twins are your sons.
इमौ तु जानकीपुत्रावुभौ च यमजातको। सुतौ तवैव दुर्धर्षों सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते॥ प्रचेतसोऽहं दशमः पुत्रो राघवनन्दन। न स्मराम्यनृतं वाक्यमिमौ तु तव पुत्रकौ॥
