धर्मापदेशात्त्यजतश्च राज्यं मां चाप्यरण्यं नयतः पदातिम्।नासीद्व्यथा यस्य न भीर्न शोकः कच्चित्स धैर्यं हृदये करोति।।।।

Der, der um des Dharma willen das Reich aufgab und mich zu Fuß in den Wald führte—der damals weder Schmerz noch Furcht noch Kummer kannte—möge, so bete ich, jene Standhaftigkeit noch immer in seinem Herzen bewahren.
"Be calm. Be blessed. Your sorrows have come to an end. This (the ring) is given by the great self, Rama, to make you trust me.
