With proof of Ráma's banishment,

Will doubt the virtuous king no more

As faithless to the oath he swore.

Chief of my cares is this, that she,

Youngest amid the queens, may see

Bharat her son securely reign

O'er rich Ayodhyá's wide domain.

For mine and for the monarch's sake

Do thou thy journey homeward take,

And, as I bade, repeat each word
