 एवं दत्ताऽस्मि रामाय तदा तस्मिन्स्वयंवरे।अनुरक्ताऽस्मि धर्मेण पतिं वीर्यवतां वरम्।। 
 In this way my father bestowed me on Rama in that swayamvara and I remain devoted to my husband who is the foremost among the valiant in treading the path of  righteousness.     Thus ends the one hundredeighteenth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
