O queen, you did request the king to show he has now commanded me to take you there. Do you therefore follow me, at the command of the king. I shall, at his behest, take you to the forest where dwell many an ascetic.
त्वया किलैष नृपतिर्वरं वै याचितः प्रभुः। नृपेण च प्रतिज्ञातमाज्ञप्तश्चाश्रमं प्रति॥ गङ्गातीरे मया देवि ऋषीणामाश्रमाञ्शुभान्। शीघ्रं गत्वा तु वैदेहि शासनात्पार्थिवस्य नः॥ अरण्ये मुनिभिर्जुष्टे अवनेया भविष्यसि।
