AYODHYAKANDA
 
भवांस्तु सह वैदेया गिरिसानुषु रंस्यते ।
अहं सर्वं करिष्यामि जाग्रतः स्वपतश्च ते ॥
 
You shall enjoy your time along with
Sita on the summits of hills. I will do
 
everything whilst you are awake or
asleep."
 
रामस्त्वनेन वाक्येन सुप्रीतः प्रत्युवाच तम् ॥
व्रजापृच्छस्व सौमित्रे सर्वमेव सुहृज्जनम् ॥

Rama, being extremely delighted with
this speech, replied to him thus : O son
of Sumitra, go, take leave of all friends."
 
दत्त्वा तु सह वैदेह्या ब्राह्मणेभ्यो धनं बहु ।
जग्मतुः पितरं द्रष्टुं सीतया सह राघवौ ॥
 
After disbursing, along with Sita, great
wealth among the Brahmins, the two
Raghavas (Rama and Lakshmana) along
with Sita, went to see their father.
 
ततः कमलपत्राक्षः श्यामो निरुपमो महान् ।
उवाच रामस्तं सूतं पितुराख्यहि मामिति ॥
 
Then the great, lotus-leaf-eyed, blue,
peerless Rama spoke to the charioteer:
' Announce me to my father.'
