Valmiki Ramayana — Ayodhya Kanda

Verse 22.2

निगृह्य रोष शोकं च धैर्यमाश्रित्य केवलम्। अवमानं निरस्यैनं गृहीत्वा हर्षमुत्तमम्॥ उपक्लुप्तं यदैतन्मे अभिषेकार्थमुत्तमम्। सर्वं निवर्तय क्षिप्रं कुरु कार्य निरव्ययम्॥

nigṛhya roṣa śokaṃ ca dhairyamāśritya kevalam| avamānaṃ nirasyainaṃ gṛhītvā harṣamuttamam|| upakluptaṃ yadaitanme abhiṣekārthamuttamam| sarvaṃ nivartaya kṣipraṃ kuru kārya niravyayam||

English Meaning

Subduing this anger and sorrow, taking recourse to patience only, brooking the insult and resorting to joy, do you set aside all those things that have been collected here for my installation and make preparations speedily for my repairing to the forest.

M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
