And like a thriving Keśar tree

This flowery shrub o'ershadows thee.”

Thus Ráma spoke, and Janak's child,

By nature ever soft and mild,

In tender words which love betrayed

Her answer to the hero made:

“O pride of Raghu's children, still

My pleasure is to do thy will.

Enough for me thy wish to know:

Far hast thou wandered to and fro.”
