Oh Rāma, it is known to you that truth is the root of all religion and may he not renounce that for you, being angry with me. If do you carry out all that the king will speak to you, good or evil, then I shall relate to you every thing.
धर्ममूलमिदं राम विदितं च सतामपि। तत् स्त्यं न त्यजेद् राजा कुपितस्त्वत्कृते यथा॥ यदि तद् वक्ष्यते राजा शुभं वा यदि वाशुभम्। करिष्यसि ततः सर्वमाख्यास्यामि पुनस्त्वहम्॥
