Ere you had come, I had arrived at this determination; albeit, O you that are equal to the mighty Indra or Varuna, I knew your prowess full well. Slaying Rāvana in battle along with his sons, forces and vehicles, and installing Vibhīşaņa in Lankā, and placing the kingdom in the hands of Bharata, I shall renounce my body, O exceedingly powerful one!
त्वयि चानागते पूर्वमिति मे निश्चिता मतिः। जानतश्चापि ते वीर्य महेन्द्रवरुणोपम॥ हत्वाहं रावणं युद्धे सपुत्रबलवाहनम्। अभिषिच्य च लङ्कायां विभीषणमथाप च।७।। भरते राज्यमारोप्य त्यक्ष्ये देहं महाबल।
