And Lakshmaṇ too, the blameless-souled,

The same high course with him will hold,

And mighty bliss on him shall wait,

So tenderly compassionate.

And Sítá, bred with tender care,

Well knows what toils await her there,

But in her love she will not part

From Ráma of the virtuous heart.

Now has thy son through all the world

The banner of his fame unfurled;
