नहि प्रव्रजिते रामे जीविष्यति महीपतिः। मृते दशरथे व्यक्तं विलोपस्तदनन्तरम्॥
nahi pravrajite rāme jīviṣyati mahīpatiḥ| mṛte daśarathe vyaktaṃ vilopastadanantaram||
English Meaning
On Rāma retiring to the forest, the lord of earth will surely not live; and Dasaratha dying, it is evident everything will come to naught.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
