Moves through the woods in pride,

So Lakshmaṇ with majestic gait

Strode by his brother's side.

He, for his lofty spirit famed,

Admonished and consoled;

Showed Raghu's son what duty claimed,

And bade his heart be bold.

Then as the brothers strode apace

To Rishyamúka's height,

The sovereign of the Vánar race[536]
