ददौ राजा सुसंहृष्टः कन्याधनमनुत्तमम्। दत्त्वा बहुविधं राजा समनुज्ञाप्य पार्थिवम्॥ प्रविवेश स्वनिलयं मिथिलां मिथिलेश्वरः। राजाप्ययोध्याधिपतिः सह पुत्रैर्महात्मभिः॥ ऋषीन् सर्वान् पुरस्कृत्य जगाम सबलानुगः।

English Meaning
Having given divers kinds of articles, that king, the lord of Mithila, bidding adieu to the monarch (Dasaratha), re-entered his own capital. And the master of Ayodhyā accompanied with his high-souled sons, and headed by the saints in a body, started on the journey, followed by his own army.
