"By chance have I come here to fulfil
your desires. To me, this sojourn in the
forest will be highly fruitful.
तपस्विनां रणे शत्रून् हन्तुमिच्छामि राक्षसान्।
पश्यन्तु वीर्यमृषयस्सभ्रातुर्मे तपोधनाः ॥
of the asetics.
I do desire to kill in battle the enemies
Let the penance-loving
sages see the valour of myself and my
brother."
ततस्तदिक्ष्वाकुवरौ सन्ततं विविधैर्दुमैः ।
काननं तौ विविशतुः सीतया सह राघवौ ।
आबद्ध्य च शुभे तूणी चापौ चादाय सम्वनौ ॥
Then these two famous Ikshvakus
(Rama and Lakshmana) along with Sita,
entered the forest full of various trees,
after trying the auspicious quivers and
