And that auspicious elder brother of Laksmana* will make a fit ruler for you, yea, the very three worlds might consider themselves as having a lord, by possessing him, through his agency I shall this day bring about the welfare of the world; and shall renounce my toil by reposing in him the task of government. *There is an alliterative beauty here in the original: Laksmīvān Laksmanāgraja; which of course is impossible to be retained in the translation.
अनुरूपः स वो नाथो लक्ष्मीवॉल्लक्ष्मणाग्रजः। त्रैलोक्यमपि नाथेन येन स्यानाथवत्तरम् ॥ अनेन श्रेयसा सद्यः संयोक्ष्येऽहमिमां महीम्। गतक्लेशो भविष्यामि सुते तस्मिन् निवेश्य वै॥
