न किंचिन्मम कर्तव्यं तवान्यत्राभिषेचनात्। अतो यत्त्वामहं ब्रूयां तन्मे त्वं कर्तुमर्हसि॥ अद्य प्रकृतयः सर्वास्त्वामिच्छन्ति नराधिपम्। अतस्त्वां युवराजानमभिषेक्ष्यामि पुत्रक॥ अपि चाद्याशुभान् राम स्वप्नान् पश्यामि राघव। सनिर्घाता दिवोल्काश्च पतन्ति हि महास्वनाः॥
na kiṃcinmama kartavyaṃ tavānyatrābhiṣecanāt| ato yattvāmahaṃ brūyāṃ tanme tvaṃ kartumarhasi|| adya prakṛtayaḥ sarvāstvāmicchanti narādhipam| atastvāṃ yuvarājānamabhiṣekṣyāmi putraka|| api cādyāśubhān rāma svapnān paśyāmi rāghava| sanirghātā divolkāśca patanti hi mahāsvanāḥ||
English Meaning
And naught now remain to be done by me save the installation. Therefore it behoves you to do even what I say to you. To-day the subjects in a body have expressed their desire of having you for their sovereign. Therefore, O son, I shall install you as the heir-apparent. O Rāghava, tonight I have dreamt inauspicious dreams. Stars with tremendous sounds, shoot by day, accompanied with thunder-claps.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
