अभिप्रेतमसंसक्तमात्मजं दातुमर्हसि॥ दशरात्रं हि यज्ञस्य रामं राजीवलोचनम्। नात्येति कालो यज्ञस्य यथायं मम राघव॥ तथा कुरुष्व भद्रं ते मा च शोके मनः कृथाः।
abhipretamasaṃsaktamātmajaṃ dātumarhasi|| daśarātraṃ hi yajñasya rāmaṃ rājīvalocanam| nātyeti kālo yajñasya yathāyaṃ mama rāghava|| tathā kuruṣva bhadraṃ te mā ca śoke manaḥ kṛthāḥ|
English Meaning
Even this is my wish, and he also has come of age. Do you, therefore, part with your son, the lotus-eyed Rāma, for the ten days of the sacrifice! Do you act so, O descendant of Raghu, that the time appointed for the ceremony may not be overpassed. Good betide you! Let not your mind indulge in grief!
