प्रणम्य शिरसा नित्यं श्रोतव्यं क्षत्रियैर्द्विजात्॥ ऐश्वर्यं पुत्रलाभश्च भविष्यति न संशयः। रामायणमिदं कृत्स्नं शृण्वतः पठतः सदा॥
praṇamya śirasā nityaṃ śrotavyaṃ kṣatriyairdvijāt|| aiśvaryaṃ putralābhaśca bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ| rāmāyaṇamidaṃ kṛtsnaṃ śṛṇvataḥ paṭhataḥ sadā||
English Meaning
The Kșatriyas, bending low their heads, should hear this daily from the Brāhmaṇas. Hearing or reading the whole of Rāmāyaṇa, forsooth shall people get sons and riches.
