श्वस्त्वाऽहमभिषेक्ष्यामि यौवराज्ये परन्तप।।2.4.22।।
tataḥ puṣye ’bhiṣiñcasva manas tvarayatīva mām | śvas tvām aham abhiṣekṣyāmi yauvarājye parantapa || 2.4.22 ||
ಆದುದರಿಂದ ಪುಷ್ಯ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ ನಿನ್ನ ಅಭಿಷೇಕವಾಗಲಿ—ನನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸು ನನಗೆ ತ್ವರೆಯನ್ನೇ ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಹೇ ಪರಂತಪ, ನಾಳೆ ನಾನು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಯುವರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಭಿಷೇಕಿಸುವೆನು.
My mind is hastening me saying,'Coronate Rama in the Pushya constellation itself'.O Slayer of enemies, I shall install you heir-apparent tomorrow.
