राम राम महाबाहो भवान्पापमकारषीत् ।

अवधीन्नरदेवं यत्सर्वदेवमयं वृथा ॥

"Rama, mighty-armed Rama! you have

committed a crime in that you have, for

no purpose, killed the king who is the

embodiment of all gods.
 

 
'वयं हि ब्राह्मणास्तात क्षमयाऽर्हणतां गताः ।

क्षमया रोचते लक्ष्मीर्वाझीब्राह्मी सौरी प्रभा यथा ।

क्षमिणामाशु भगवान् तुष्यते हरिरीश्वरः ॥
 

"Son ! we are Brahmins who become fit

for honour because of our forbearance.

It is by forbearance that Brahminic

splendour shines like the light of the sun.

Hari, the Lord and Master, is quickly

pleased with persons of forbearance.
 

 
'राशोज्ञो मूर्घाधावसिक्तस्य वधो ब्रह्मवधाद्गुरुः ।

तीर्थसंसेवया चांहो जह्यङ्गाच्युतचेतनः ॥'
 

"The murder of an anointed king is

more heinous than the slaying of a

Brahmin. And this sin, you wipe out by

visiting the holy places, with your

thought on the imperishable Lord."
