Raima, who has come to the forest, is the son of him who has propitiated Fire with Rājasuyas and horse sacrifices,-dispensing Dakshinas and kine by hundreds and thousands-and who has governed the earth by asceticism and truthful speech. His son Rāma has come to the forest through a woman.
राजसूयाश्वमेधैश्च वह्निर्येनाभितर्पितः। दक्षिणाश्च तथोत्सृष्टा गावः शतसहस्रशः॥ तपसा सत्यवाक्येन वसुधा येन पालिता। स्त्रीहेतोस्तस्य पुत्रोऽयं रामोऽरण्यं समागतः॥
