कृतं मया यथा तथ्यं द्विजकार्यमनुत्तमम्। धर्मसेतुमथो भूयः कर्तुमिच्छामि राघवौ॥ अक्षयश्चाव्ययश्चैव धर्मसेतुर्मतो मम। धर्मप्रवचनं चैव सर्वपापप्रणाशनम्॥

English Meaning
I have, as promised, performed the work of the excellent twice-born one. I wish now to perform a Rājasūya sacrifice, the source of religious glory, the destroyer of all sins, inexhaustible and un-ending.
