Lakṣmaṇa, adinda Rāma, yang taat dan bijaksana seperti Bṛhaspati, menimbang jawapan yang wajar. Namun api murka saudaranya—terbit daripada kasih dan amarah—menyelubunginya; lalu baginda berangkat dengan hati tidak senang, laksana angin taufan yang menggila.
Then Lakshmana, obedient, intelligent like Brihaspati, like a tempest, encompassed by the fire of anger and deliberating in his mind as to the possible questions from Sugriva and the reply from him.
