Verse 25.26

प्रहृष्टयोधा ध्वजिनी महात्मनां वनौकसां संप्रति योद्भुमिच्छताम्। अलं विरोधेन शमो विधीयतां प्रदीयतां दाशरथाय मैथिली॥

prahṛṣṭayodhā dhvajinī mahātmanāṃ vanaukasāṃ saṃprati yodbhumicchatām| alaṃ virodhena śamo vidhīyatāṃ pradīyatāṃ dāśarathāya maithilī||

English Meaning

The army of the high-souled rangers of the woods, eager for encounter, contains warriors bursting with high spirits. No use of dispute. Be you intent on pacification. Do you render back Maithili to Dasaratha's son.
