To King Vibhishaṇ then he spake:

“Well hast thou fought for Ráma's sake.”

Nor was the brave Śatrughna slow

His reverential love to show

To both his brothers, as was meet,

And venerate the lady's feet.

Then Ráma to his mother came,

Saw her pale cheek and wasted frame,

With gentle words her heart consoled,

And clasped her feet with loving hold.
