စိတ်နာကျင်ဝမ်းနည်းနေသော ဂုဟသည် ရာဃဝကို ဖက်လှုပ်ကာ ပြော하였다—“အို ရာမ၊ ဤနေရာသည် သင်အတွက် အယောဓျာကဲ့သို့ပင် ဖြစ်၏။ သင်အတွက် ငါ ဘာကို ဆောင်ရွက်ပေးရမည်နည်း။ အို မဟာဗာဟု၊ သင်ကဲ့သို့ ချစ်မြတ်နိုးရသော ဧည့်သည်ကို ကြိုဆိုရသည့် ကံကောင်းခြင်းကို မည်သူက ရနိုင်မည်နည်း။”
Overwhelmed with grief (to see Rama in bark), Guha embraced Rama and said This is just like Ayodhya to you. What can I do for you? O mighty-armed Rama, who can have the good fortune of receiving such a beloved guest like you?
