अथ चेत्सत्यवचनं धर्मः किल परंतप। अनृतं त्वथ्यकरणे किं न बद्धस्त्वया विना॥
atha cetsatyavacanaṃ dharmaḥ kila paraṃtapa| anṛtaṃ tvathyakaraṇe kiṃ na baddhastvayā vinā||
English Meaning
But, O subduer of enemies, if truthfulness be virtue, are you not bound by that departing from which the king lost his life?* *Explains the commentator, 'King Dasaratha lost his life, because he did not observe his word of installing you in the kingdom. Are you not bound by his word as well?'
