Rama said: If, O fathers, you are pleased with me, the boon, I ask is that I may be freed from the sin of annihilating the Kshatriyas and that the lakes, that I have made, may become celebrated shrines in the world.
राम उवाच यदि मे पितरः प्रीता यद्यनुग्राह्यता मयि। यच्च रोषाभिभूतेन क्षत्रमुत्सादितं मया॥ ह्रदाश्च तीर्थभूता मे भवेयुर्भुवि विश्रुताः॥
