Verse 3.9

नाना चित्राः कथाश्चान्या विश्वामित्रसहायने। जानक्याश्च विवाहं च धनुषश्च विभेदनम्॥ रामरामविवादं च गुणान् दाशरथेस्तथा। तथाभिषेकं रामस्य कैकेय्या दुष्टभावताम्॥ विघातं चाभिषेकय रामस्य च विवासनम्। राज्ञः शोकं विलापं च परलोकस्य चाश्रयम् ॥ प्रकृतीनां विषादं च प्रकृतीनां विसर्जनम्। निषादाधिपसंवादं सूतोपावर्तनं तथा॥
