There upon remembering the words of Kāla, Rāma was greatly sorry. And thinking of those dreadful words he was overwhelmed with grief. And with a poorly heart, and face downwards he remained silent for some time. There upon thinking of Kāla's words and determining that every calamity would befall him, that highly illustrious descendant, of Raghus, summoned patience.
संस्मृत्य कालवाक्यानि ततो दुःखमुपागमत्। दुःखेन च सुसंतप्तः स्मृत्वा तद्धोरदर्शनम्॥ अवाङ्मुखो दीनमना व्याहतुं न शशाक ह। ततो बुद्ध्या विनिश्चित्य कालवाक्यानि राघवः। नैतदस्तीति निश्चित्य तूष्णीमासीन्ग्रहायशाः॥
