लक्ष्मणं त्वेवमुक्त्वा सा संसिद्धं प्रियराघवम्।सुमित्रा गच्छ गच्छेति पुनः पुनरुवाच तम्।।।।
lakṣmaṇaṁ tv evam uktvā sā saṁsiddhaṁ priyarāghavam |
sumitrā gaccha gaccheti punaḥ punar uvāca tam ||
ലക്ഷ്മണനോട് ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ ശേഷം, സുമിത്ര പൂർണ്ണമായി സന്നദ്ധനായ തന്റെ പ്രിയ രാഘവനോട് വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും—“പോ, പോ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
Having said this to Lakshmana Sumitra again and again said to her beloved Rama, who was fully prepared, 'Go, go'.
