देहधर्मगतस्यास्य परिश्रान्तस्य लक्ष्मण। अवितृप्तस्य कामेषु रामः क्षन्तुमिहार्हति ॥ न च रोषवशं तात गन्तुमर्हसि लक्ष्मण। निश्चयार्थमविज्ञाय सहसा प्राकृतो यथा॥
dehadharmagatasyāsya pariśrāntasya lakṣmaṇa| avitṛptasya kāmeṣu rāmaḥ kṣantumihārhati || na ca roṣavaśaṃ tāta gantumarhasi lakṣmaṇa| niścayārthamavijñāya sahasā prākṛto yathā||
English Meaning
O Lakşmaņa, it behoveth Rāma to forgive one who has all the bodily exigencies, who is fatigued, and who is not satisfied with the pleasures of Kama. Nor, O Laksmana, does it behove you, without ascertaining the exact import of things, to become suddenly subject to wrath, like any inferior person.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
