Thereupon, he, staying by his promise, did accordingly: Rāma has been banished along with Sumitrā's son and Sītā. Not seeing his beloved son, the illustrious lord of earth, stricken by grief on his account, has breathed his last.
स स्ववृत्तिं समास्थाय पिता ते तत् तथाकरोत्। रामस्तु सहसौमित्रिः प्रेषितः सह सीतया॥ तमपश्यन् प्रियं पुत्रं महीपालो महायशाः। पुत्रशोकपरिवूनः पञ्चत्वमुपपेदिवान्॥
