Verse 73.18

शत्रुघ्नं चापि धर्मात्मा अब्रवीन्मिथिलेश्वरः॥ श्रुतकीर्तेर्महाबाहो पाणिं गृह्णीष्व पाणिना। सर्वे भवन्तः सौम्याश्च सर्वे सुचरितव्रताः॥ पत्नीभिः सन्तु काकुत्स्था मा भूत् कालस्य पर्ययः।

śatrughnaṃ cāpi dharmātmā abravīnmithileśvaraḥ|| śrutakīrtermahābāho pāṇiṃ gṛhṇīṣva pāṇinā| sarve bhavantaḥ saumyāśca sarve sucaritavratāḥ|| patnībhiḥ santu kākutsthā mā bhūt kālasya paryayaḥ|

English Meaning

The righteous lord of Mithila spoke also to Satrughna, saying, Do you, O you of mighty arms, take Śrutakīrti's hand by your own. May you all be good, and vowed to excellent life! And be, you Kākutsthas, you united with your wives. Let there be no delay about it.
