Oh! shame to me. May it not please you, Oh worshipful lady, to speak such words to me. I can at the king's words jump into the fire. Being ordered by him, who is my father and who is my king especially, I can drink virulent poison and drown into the ocean. Speak you, Oh worshipful lady, what is the desire of the king, and know that I shall carry it out, Rāma does not contradict what he has once spoken.
अहो धिङ् नार्हसे देवि वक्तुं मामीदृशं वचः। अहं हि वचनाद् राज्ञः पतेयमपि पावके॥ भक्षयेयं विषं तीक्ष्णं पतेयमपि चार्णवे। नियुक्तो गुरुणा पित्रा नृपेण च हितेन च॥ तद् ब्रूहि वचनं देवि राज्ञो यदभिकाशितम्। करिष्ये प्रतिजाने च रामो द्विर्नाभिभाषते ॥
