विस्मयं ते परं गत्वा शत्रुघ्नमिदमब्रुवन् । साधु पृच्छ नरश्रेष्ठ वाल्मीकिं मुनिपुङ्गवम् ॥ 7-71-21 ॥

Having reached the height of amazement, they said this to Shatrughna: "It would be well, O best of men, to ask Valmiki, that bull among sages."

english translation

शत्रुघ्नस्त्वब्रवीत्सर्वान्कौतूहलसमन्वितान् । सैनिका न क्षमो ऽस्माकं परिप्रष्टुमिहेदृशः ॥ 7-71-22 ॥

But Shatrughna said to all of them, who were filled with curiosity: "O soldiers, it is not fitting for us to make such an inquiry here."

आश्चर्याणि बहूनीह भवन्त्यस्याश्रमे मुनेः । न तु कौतूहलाद्युक्तमन्वेष्टुं तं महामुनिम् ॥ 7-71-23 ॥

"Many marvels occur here in this hermitage of the sage; but it is not proper, out of mere curiosity, to question that great sage."

english translation

एवं तद्वाक्यमुक्त्वा च सैनिकान्रघुनन्दनः । अभिवाद्य महर्षिं तं स्वं निवेशं ययौ तदा ॥ 7-71-24 ॥

Having spoken these words to the soldiers, the delight of the Raghus then saluted that great sage and went to his own lodging.
