आश्वास्य भरतं दीनं कौसल्यां च यशस्विनीम्। कैकेयीं च सुमित्रां च दृष्ट्वा लक्ष्मणमातरम्॥ प्राप्य राज्यमयोध्यां च नन्दयित्वा सुहृज्जनम्। इक्ष्वाकूणां कूले वंशं स्थापयित्वा महाबल॥ इष्ट्वा तुरगमेधेन प्राप्य चानुत्तमं यशः। ब्राह्मणेभ्यो धनं दत्त्वा त्रिदिवं गन्तुमर्हसि॥
āśvāsya bharataṃ dīnaṃ kausalyāṃ ca yaśasvinīm| kaikeyīṃ ca sumitrāṃ ca dṛṣṭvā lakṣmaṇamātaram|| prāpya rājyamayodhyāṃ ca nandayitvā suhṛjjanam| ikṣvākūṇāṃ kūle vaṃśaṃ sthāpayitvā mahābala|| iṣṭvā turagamedhena prāpya cānuttamaṃ yaśaḥ| brāhmaṇebhyo dhanaṃ dattvā tridivaṃ gantumarhasi||
English Meaning
Consoling the poor Bharata and the famed Kausalyā, beholding Kaikeyi and Sumitrā the mother of Lakşmaņa, obtaining the kingdom of Ayodhyā, pleasing all your friends, establishing the prestige of your family, you of great strength, performing horse-sacrifices, attaining fair fame and conferring riches upon the Brāhmaṇas do you repair to heaven.
