रावणः सगणो युद्धे सपुत्रामात्यबान्धवः। भवन्तश्च समानीता भरतेन महात्मना॥ श्रुत्वा जनकराजस्य काननात्तनयां हृताम्। उद्युक्तानां च सर्वेषां पार्थिवानां महात्मनाम् ॥ कालोऽप्यतीतः सुमहान्गमनं रोचयाम्यतः।
rāvaṇaḥ sagaṇo yuddhe saputrāmātyabāndhavaḥ| bhavantaśca samānītā bharatena mahātmanā|| śrutvā janakarājasya kānanāttanayāṃ hṛtām| udyuktānāṃ ca sarveṣāṃ pārthivānāṃ mahātmanām || kālo'pyatītaḥ sumahāngamanaṃ rocayāmyataḥ|
English Meaning
Hearing that Sitā, the daughter of Janaka, had been stolen away from the forest the highminded Bharata did bring you all-but fortunately you were not constrained to go through miseries. High-minded as you are, you were all prepared for this work. Long since you have here. I think it better that you should proceed to your respective habitations.
