Since, O revered one, renouncing the kingdom, your mighty son wendeth (to the woods) with the view of fulfiling the intention of his high-souled and truthful sire, the worthy Rāma staying in the duty that is completely observed by the good and the performance of which always bringeth welfare in the next world, should by no means be lamented.
यस्तवार्ये गतः पुत्रस्त्यक्त्वा राज्यं महाबलः। साधु कुर्वन् महात्मानं पितरं सत्यवादिनम्॥ शिष्टैराचरिते सम्यक्शश्वत् प्रेत्य फलोदये। रामो धर्मे स्थितः श्रेष्ठो न स शोच्यः कदाचन॥
