Tough this mystery was communicated formerly by the king Dasaratha and though it is not proper to reveal it to any body, still I express it before you that you may not, on hearing it, be worked up with sorrow; for destiny is hard to be got over. And it is by the influence of that destiny that you have met with such a sorrow and grief. However, do you not reveal this secret to Satrughna and Bharata.
यद्यप्यहं नरेन्द्रेण रहस्यं श्रावितं पुरा। तथाप्युदाहरिष्यामि दैवं हि दुरतिक्रमम्॥ येनेदमीदृशं प्राप्तं दुःखं शोकसमन्वितम्। न त्वया भरतस्याग्रे शत्रुघ्नस्यापि संनिधौ॥
