Rāma having said this, Bhadra with folded hands replied: "O king, the citizens speak many good things about you; besides they dilate upon many things in their own houses regarding your conquest acquired by the destruction of the Ten-necked demon."
एवमुक्ते तु रामेण भद्रः प्राञ्जलिरब्रवीत्। स्थिताः शुभाः कथा राजन्वर्तन्ते पुरवासिनाम्॥ अयं तु विजयं सौम्य दशग्रीववधार्जितम्। भूयिष्ठं स्वपुरे पौरैः कथ्यन्ते पुरुषर्षभ॥
