There upon Vālmīki said to his disciples, Lava and Kuća Do you carefully and delightedly sing the whole of Rāmāyaṇa in the highly holy hermitages, of the Rşis, in the homes where perpetual fire is kept up by the Brāhmaṇas, in streets and palaces, at the gate of Rāma's house, in the sacrificial arena and before all Rtvik.
स शिष्यावब्रवीद्धृष्टौ युवां गत्वा समाहितौ। कृत्स्नं रामायणं काव्यं गायतां परया मुदा॥ ऋषिवाटेषु पुण्येषु ब्राह्मणावसथेषु च। रथ्यासु राजमार्गेषु पार्थिवानां गृहेषु च॥ रामस्य भवनद्वारि यत्र कर्म च कुर्वते। ऋत्विजामग्रतश्चैव तत्र गेयं विशेषतः॥
