ते तदोचुर्महात्मानं पौरजानपदा जनाः। काकुत्स्थमभिजानीमः सम्यग् वदति राघवः॥ एषोऽपि हि महाभागः पितुर्वचसि तिष्ठति। एत एव न शक्ताः स्म व्यावर्तयितुमञ्जसा ॥

English Meaning
Thereupon the citizens and the dwellers of the provinces answered that high-souled one, saying, We perceive that the descendant of Raghu says to Kākutstha what is fit; and this exceedingly virtuous one stay by the words of his sire. Therefore we are incapable of suddenly saying anything.
