Do not uselessly give vent to sorrow any more. There is the holy and beautiful hermitage of the saints on the banks of Jähnavī. There lives Vālmīki, the foremost of saints, a great friend of our sire Dasaratha. O daughter of Janaka, approaching that high-souled saint, do you spend your days happily keeping Rāma always in your mind.
तदेतज्जाह्नवीतीरे ब्रह्मर्षीणां तपोवनम्॥ पुण्यं च रमणीयं च मा विषादं कृथाः शुभे। राज्ञो दशरथस्यैव पितुर्मे मुनिपुङ्गवः॥ सखा परमको विप्रो वाल्मीकिः सुमहायशाः। पादच्छायामुपागम्य सुखमस्य महात्मनः। उपवासपरैकाग्रा वस त्वं जनकात्मजे ॥
