Ráma and Lakshmaṇ, whom we see.

Thus do those kings of purest race

Their lineage from Ikshváku trace:

Their hero lives the right maintained,

Their lips with falsehood ne'er were stained.

In Ráma's and in Lakshmaṇ's name

Thy daughters as their wives I claim,

So shall in equal bands be tied

Each peerless youth with peerless bride.”
