While Rāma and Kala were thus conversing with one another, the great ascetic Durvāsā arrived at the gate for seeing Rāma and approaching Laksmana said:-O Saumitri, do you soon take me to Rāma; my time goes away, so do you take me first.
तथा तयोः संवदोर्दुर्वासा भगवानृषिः। रामस्य दर्शनाकाङ्क्षी राजद्वारमुपागमत्॥ सोऽभिगम्य तु सौमित्रिमुवाच ऋषिसत्तमः। रामं दर्शय मे शीघ्रं पुरा मेऽर्थोऽतिववर्तते॥
