सत्येनाहं शपे राजन्स्वर्गभोगेन चैव हि। न कामये यता राज्यं त्वां विना रघुनन्दन॥ इमौ कुशीलवौ राजननभिषिच्य नराधिप। कोशलेषु कुशं वीरमुत्तरेषु तथा लवम्॥
satyenāhaṃ śape rājansvargabhogena caiva hi| na kāmaye yatā rājyaṃ tvāṃ vinā raghunandana|| imau kuśīlavau rājananabhiṣicya narādhipa| kośaleṣu kuśaṃ vīramuttareṣu tathā lavam||
English Meaning
O King, I swear by truth, that far from kingdom I do not wish to live in heaven even without you; O King, of these two princes, Kuśī and Lava do you place Kuśī in Kosala and Lava in North Kosala.
