वचनं कौशिकस्येति कर्तव्यमविशङ्कया।
अनुशिष्टोऽस्म्ययोध्यायां गुरुमध्ये महात्मना ।
पिंत्रा दशरथेनाहं नावज्ञेयं हि तद्वचः ।
तव चैवाप्रमेयस्य वचनं कर्तुमुद्यतः ॥
31
Hearing the manly words of the ascetic
Viswamitra, Rama, the son of the best of
men, said :—"This must be done without
hesitation, because it is the order of Viswa-
mitra. Thus have I been enjoined in Ayo-
dhya by my high-souled father Dasaratha,
in the midst of my elders. His words
cannot be disregarded. I am ready to do
your bidding, for you are of immeasurable
worth."
एवमुक्तवा धनुर्मध्ये बद्ध्वा मुष्टिमरिन्दमः ।
ज्याघोषमकरोत्
Speaking thus and placing firmly his
grip in the middle of the bow, Rama, the
vanquisher of foes, twanged the bow with
terrible noise, causing the spaces to
resound.
