Those speaking the truth, never falsify their promise: the mark of a great one is even observance of vow. O sinless one, do not suffer yourself to be overcome by despair on my account. Do you today by slaying Rāvaņa, make your promise good.
नहि प्रतिज्ञां कुर्वन्ति वितथा सत्यवादिनः। लक्षणं हि महत्त्वस्य प्रतिज्ञापरिपालनम्॥ नैराश्यमुपगन्तुं च नालं ते मत्कृतेऽनघ। वधेन रावणस्याद्य प्रतिज्ञामनुपालय॥
