Let Ráma Daśaratha be,

Look upon Sítá as on me,

And let the cot wherein you dwell

Be thine Ayodhyá. Fare thee well.”

Her blessing thus Sumitrá gave

To him whose soul to Ráma clave,

Exclaiming, when her speech was done,

“Go forth, O Lakshmaṇ, go, my son.

Go forth, my son to win success,

High victory and happiness.
