What words, O king, do you say, comparable to poison or painful indisposition's. It behove you to summon hither your son, the energetic Rāma. Having established my son in the kingdom, and rendered Rāma a ranger of the woods and made myself rid of rivals, I shall attain my end.
किमिदं भाषसे राजन् वाक्यं गररुजोपमम्। आनाययितुमक्लिष्टं पुत्रं राममिहार्हसि॥ स्थाप्य राज्ये मम सुतं कृत्वा रामं वनेचरम्। निःसपत्नां च मां कृत्वा कृतकृत्यो भविष्यसि।।२२।
