कुलीन:सत्त्वसम्पन्नस्तेजस्वी चरितव्रतः | राज्यहेतोः कथं पापमाचरेत्त्वद्विधो जनः || २-१०४-१६
- 'How can a man like you, born of a noble race, endowed with energy, powerful and adherent to vows, commit a sin for the sake of a kingdom? [2-104-16]
Oh ! sagacious and sinless one, it is laid down (in sastras) that elders when married can always act at their free will towards their wives and sons. [2-104-18]
Oh ! handsome one, you should know that he ( king Dasaratha ) treat us the way the virtuous treat their wives, sons and disciples in this world. [2-104-19]
वने वा चीरवसनं सौम्य कृष्णाजिनाम्बरम् | राज्ये वाऽपि महाराजो मां वासयितुमीश्वरः || २-१०४-२०
Oh ! handsome one, king Dasaratha is alone competent to accommodate me in the forest wearing bark robes and antelope skin as garment or install me in the kingdom. [2-104-20]
