ऊचुः परस्परं चेदं सर्व एव समाहिताः। उभौ रामस्य सदृशौ बिम्बाद्विम्बमिरोद्धतौ॥ जटिलौ यदि न स्यातां न वल्कलधरौ यदि। विशेष नाधिगच्छामो गायतो राघवस्य च॥ एवं प्रभाषमाणेषु पौरजानपदेषु च। प्रवृत्तमादितः पूर्वसर्ग नारददर्शितम्॥
ūcuḥ parasparaṃ cedaṃ sarva eva samāhitāḥ| ubhau rāmasya sadṛśau bimbādvimbamiroddhatau|| jaṭilau yadi na syātāṃ na valkaladharau yadi| viśeṣa nādhigacchāmo gāyato rāghavasya ca|| evaṃ prabhāṣamāṇeṣu paurajānapadeṣu ca| pravṛttamāditaḥ pūrvasarga nāradadarśitam||
English Meaning
And they all attentively said to one anotherBoth of them take after Rāma, like to a bubble resembling the one it rises from. There would not have been perceived the least difference between them and Rama had they not been clothed in dark and used clotted hair. The citizens and villagers speaking thus with one another Kuśa and Lava chanted twenty sections beginning from the first, pointed out by Narada.
