मा विमर्शो वसुमती भरताय प्रदीयताम्।।2.34.44।।न हि मे काङ्क्षितं राज्यं सुखमात्मनि वा प्रियम्।यथानिदेशं कर्तुं वै तवैव रघुनन्दन।।2.34.45।।

لا تُطِلِ التفكير في هذا. لِيُعْطَ سلطانُ الأرض لبَهاراتا. فإني لا أرغب في المُلك ولا في لذّةٍ لنفسي؛ إن أحبَّ ما إليّ هو تنفيذُ أمرك، يا بهجةَ سلالةِ راغهو.
Do not brood. Bestow the kingdom on Bharata. I do not have any desire for the kingdom or pleasure. Nothing is dearer to me than compliance with your order, O Delight of the Raghu race
