And naught now remain to be done by me save the installation. Therefore it behoves you to do even what I say to you. To-day the subjects in a body have expressed their desire of having you for their sovereign. Therefore, O son, I shall install you as the heir-apparent. O Rāghava, tonight I have dreamt inauspicious dreams. Stars with tremendous sounds, shoot by day, accompanied with thunder-claps.
न किंचिन्मम कर्तव्यं तवान्यत्राभिषेचनात्। अतो यत्त्वामहं ब्रूयां तन्मे त्वं कर्तुमर्हसि॥ अद्य प्रकृतयः सर्वास्त्वामिच्छन्ति नराधिपम्। अतस्त्वां युवराजानमभिषेक्ष्यामि पुत्रक॥ अपि चाद्याशुभान् राम स्वप्नान् पश्यामि राघव। सनिर्घाता दिवोल्काश्च पतन्ति हि महास्वनाः॥
