Born of my eldest wife worthy of myself, you crowned with the best qualities, are my worthy son, O Rāma dear to me. You have by your virtues drawn to yourself the hearts of the people, therefore do you during the conjunction of the moon with the Puşya constellation, receive the office of heir-apparent,
ज्येष्ठायामसि मे पत्न्यां सदृश्यां सदृशः सुतः॥ उत्पन्नस्त्वं गुणज्येष्ठो मम रामात्मजः प्रियः। त्वया यतः प्रजाश्चेमाः स्वगुणैरनुरञ्जिताः॥ तस्मात् त्वं पुष्ययोगेन यौवराज्यमवाप्नुहि।
