" Lakshmana ! come. Good betide thee.
Accept Urmila given away by me. Hold

पाणिं गृहाण माण्डव्याः पाणिना रघुनन्दन ॥
 
Having said thus to him.
addressed Bharata: "O! Delighter of
Raghus, hold Mandavi's hand in yours."

शत्रुघ्नं चापि धर्मात्मा अब्रवीजनकेश्वरः ।
श्रुतकीर्त्या महाबाहो पाणिं गृह्णीष्व पाणिना ॥
 
And the righteous-minded Lord of the
Janakas said to Satrughna also: O! thou
of mighty arms, hold Srutakirti's hand

सर्वे भवन्तस्सौम्याश्च सर्वे सुचरितव्रताः ।
पत्नीभिस्सन्तु काकुत्स्था मा भूत्कालस्य पर्ययः ।
 
" May all of you decendants of Kakut-
stha, be of amiable nature and well-per-
formed austerities, in the company of
your wives. (And now) let there be no
delay."
