स त्वं पुरुषशार्दूल त्रैलोक्यस्याभिपालनात् । लक्ष्मणेन विना चाद्य जगत्स्वस्थं कुरुष्व ह ॥ 7-106-11 ॥

Therefore you, O tiger among men, for the sake of protecting the three worlds, even without Lakshmana, must now restore the world to well-being.

Having heard those assembled ones speak that counsel founded upon dharma and worldly good, Rama, in the midst of the assembly, spoke to Lakshmana.

I cast you off, O Saumitri, lest there be a violation of dharma; for the virtuous, banishment or death is ordained, and the two are held to be equal.

When this word had been spoken by Rama, Lakshmana, his senses overwhelmed with tears, swiftly went forth and did not enter his own house.
