त्वं नराधिपतेः पुत्रः प्रथितः प्रियदर्शनः ।
कुलीनस्सत्त्वसंपन्नस्तेजस्वी चरितत्रतः ॥
 
"You are a king's son, well known and
of pleasing countenance, noble, endowed

पराङ्मुखवधं कृत्वा को नु प्राप्तस्त्वया गुणः ।
यदहं युद्धसंरब्धः शरेणोरसि ताडितः ॥

I have been struck in the breast by an
arrow (by you) while I was engaged in
fighting (another.) Having killed one who
was looking away (from you), what good
I have you gained?
 
रामः करुणवेदी च प्रजानां च हिते रतः ।
सानुक्रोशो जितोत्साहः समयज्ञो दृढव्रतः ।
इति ते सर्वभूतानि कथयन्ति यशो भुवि ॥
 
All beings in the world speak of your
fame, saying 'Rama is merciful, devoted to
the welfare of his subjects, compassionate,
energetic, versed in rules of conduct, and
of firm resolution.'
