Nor yet, O foremost of men, can you ever even in fancy be (guilty of) going after others' wives, which destroy all religious merit. These, O Rāma, are by no means in you. O King's son, you ever and a day direct your attentions to own wife. And you are Righteous and truthful and do the will of your şire. In you are established virtue and truth, and every thing; and by help of your conquered senses, you, O mighty armed one, are capable of bearing everything.
कुतोऽभिलषणं स्त्रीणां परेषां धर्मनाशनम्। तव नास्ति मनुष्येन्द्र न चाभूत् ते कदाचन ॥ मनस्यपि तथा राम न चैतद् विद्यते क्वचित्। स्वदारनिरतश्चैव नित्यमेव नृपात्मज ॥ धर्मिष्ठः सत्यसंधश्च पितुर्निर्देशकारकः। त्वयि धर्मश्च सत्यं च त्वयि सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम्॥
