Qu’il s’agît de brāhmanes, d’amis, de serviteurs, ou même des pauvres et de ceux qui vivaient d’aumônes, nul n’y demeura sans être comblé : chacun fut accueilli avec l’honneur qui lui convenait et une charité empressée, selon son dû.
Thus there was none among those brahmins, attendants, poor people, and beggars, who was not satisfied with the honour (received) or with the charity.इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे द्वात्रिंशस्सर्गः।।Thus ends the thirtysecond sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
