The king his grandsire kissed his head,

And in reply to Bharat said:

“Go forth, dear child: how blest is she,

The mother of a son like thee!

Greet well thy sire, thy mother greet,

O thou whose arms the foe defeat;

The household priest, and all the rest

Amid the Twice-born chief and best;

And Ráma and brave Lakshmaṇ, who

Shoot the long shaft with aim so true.”
