अवाङ्मुखमथो दीनं दृष्ट्वा सोममिवाप्लुतम् । राघवं लक्ष्मणो वाक्यं हृष्टो मधुरमब्रवीत् ॥ 7-106-1 ॥
Then, seeing Raghava downcast and dejected, like the moon when it is overwhelmed by an eclipse, Lakshmana, well pleased, spoke these sweet words.
english translation
न संतापं महाबाहो मदर्थं कर्तुमर्हसि । पूर्वनिर्माणबद्धा हि कालस्य गतिरीदृशी ॥ 7-106-2 ॥
"You ought not to grieve on my account, O mighty-armed one; for the course of Time, bound by what was fashioned beforehand, is of such a nature."
english translation
जहि मां सौम्य विस्रब्धं प्रतिज्ञां परिपालय । हीनप्रतिज्ञाः काकुत्स्थ प्रयान्ति नरकं नराः ॥ 7-106-3 ॥
"Slay me without hesitation, O gentle one, and keep your pledge; men who fail their pledges, O Kakutstha, go to hell."
english translation
यदि प्रीतिर्महाराज यद्यनुग्राह्यता मयि । जहि मां निर्विशङ्कस्त्वं धर्मं वर्धय राघव ॥ 7-106-4 ॥
"If you have affection for me, O great king, and if I am worthy of your favor, then slay me without misgiving and increase dharma, O Raghava."
english translation
लक्ष्मणेन तथोक्तस्तु रामः प्रचलितेन्द्रियः । मन्त्रिणः समुपानीय तथैव च पुरोधसम् ॥ 7-106-5 ॥
Thus addressed by Lakshmana, Rama, his senses shaken, summoned his ministers and likewise the family priest.
