अहं ते यद्यनुग्राह्यो यदि स्मरसि मे गुणान्। वस तावदिह प्राज्ञ यद्यस्ति मयि सौहृदम्॥ लक्ष्मणेन सह भ्रात्रा वैदेह्या भार्यया सह। अर्चितः सर्वकामैस्त्वं ततो राम गमिष्यसि॥
ahaṃ te yadyanugrāhyo yadi smarasi me guṇān| vasa tāvadiha prājña yadyasti mayi sauhṛdam|| lakṣmaṇena saha bhrātrā vaidehyā bhāryayā saha| arcitaḥ sarvakāmaistvaṃ tato rāma gamiṣyasi||
