See, Oh Rāghava, how truthful is your father the king! That virtuous-souled one shall install you this day as the heir-apparent of the throne Rāghava, humble by nature, who was offered by his mother a seat and asked by her to eat something, stretching forth a little his clasped hands, and with his head down wards with a view to show respects towards his mother, touched the seat, and began to relate to her the object of his repairing to the Dandaka forest.
सत्यप्रतिज्ञं पितरं राजानं पश्य राघव। अद्यैव त्वां स धर्मात्मा यौवराज्येऽभिषेक्ष्यति ॥ दत्तमासनमालभ्य भोजनेन निमन्त्रितः। मातरं राघवः किंचित् प्रसार्याञ्जलिमब्रवीत्॥ स स्वभावविनीतश्च गौरवाच्च तथानतः। प्रस्थितो दण्डकारण्यमाप्रष्टुमुपचक्रमे॥
