इह वा मां मृतां कुब्जे नृपायावेदयिष्यसि। वनं तु राघवे प्राप्ते भरतः प्राप्स्यते क्षितिम्॥ सुवर्णेन न मे ह्यर्थो न रत्नैर्न च भोजनैः। एष मे जीवितस्यान्तो रामो यद्यभिषिच्यते॥
iha vā māṃ mṛtāṃ kubje nṛpāyāvedayiṣyasi| vanaṃ tu rāghave prāpte bharataḥ prāpsyate kṣitim|| suvarṇena na me hyartho na ratnairna ca bhojanaiḥ| eṣa me jīvitasyānto rāmo yadyabhiṣicyate||
English Meaning
Do you, O hump-backed one, tell the monarch, that I am dead at this place. On Räghava having gone to the forest, Bharata will obtain the earth. I do not require gold, or gems, or repasts; this will be the end of my existence if Rāma be installed.
