The highly effulgent and illustrious Agastya, spring from a vessel, again addressed the humble Rāma as the great Patriarch sprung from lotus spoke to the Great Deity. He said to Răma, having truth for his prowess:-"Do you hear." Saying this, the highly effulgent Agastya began to narrate the last portion of the story. The high-minded saint, with a delighted heart, described to Rāma all he has heard and narrated." O high-minded Rama, having long arms, it is for this reason that the vicioussouled Rāvana stole away Janaki, the daughter of king Janaka.
ततः पुनर्महातेजाः कुम्भयोनिमहायशाः। उवाच रामं प्रणतं पितामह इवेश्वरम्॥ श्रूयतामिति चोवाच रामं सत्यपराक्रमम्। कथाशेषं महातेजाः कथयामास स प्रभुः॥ यथाख्यानं श्रुतं चैव यथावृत्तं यथा तथा। प्रीतात्मा कथयामास राघवाय महामतिः॥ एतदर्थं महाबाहो रावणेन दुरात्मना। सुता जनकराजस्य हृता राम महामते॥
