अहं हि सीतां राज्यं च प्राणानिष्टान् धनानि च । हृष्टो भ्रात्रे स्वयं दद्यां भरताय प्रचोदितः॥ किं पुनर्मनुजेन्द्रेण स्वयं पित्रा प्रचोदितः। तव च प्रियकामार्थं प्रतिज्ञामनुपालयन्॥
ahaṃ hi sītāṃ rājyaṃ ca prāṇāniṣṭān dhanāni ca | hṛṣṭo bhrātre svayaṃ dadyāṃ bharatāya pracoditaḥ|| kiṃ punarmanujendreṇa svayaṃ pitrā pracoditaḥ| tava ca priyakāmārthaṃ pratijñāmanupālayan||
English Meaning
