शैव्यं महारथं वीरं संजयं जयतां वरम्॥ सुहोत्रं रन्तिदेवं च काक्षीवन्तमथौशिजम्। वाल्हीकं दमनं चैद्यं शर्यातिमजितं नलम्॥ विश्वामित्रममित्रघ्नमम्बरीषं महाबलम्। मरुत्तं मनुमिक्ष्वाकुं गयं भरतमेव च॥ रामं दाशरथिं चैव शशबिन्दुं भगीरथम्। कृतवीर्यं महाभागं तथैव जनमेजयम्॥ ययातिं शुभकर्माणं देवैर्यो याजितः स्वयम्। चैत्ययूपाङ्किता भूमिर्यस्येयं सवनाकरा॥ इति राज्ञां चतुर्विंशन्नारदेन सुरर्षिणा। पुत्रशोकाभितप्ताय पुरा श्वैत्याय कीर्तितम्॥
