Ramayana 2.77.4
ततः प्रभातसमये दिवसेऽथ त्रयोदशे।।।।विललाप महाबाहुर्भरत श्शोकमूर्छितः।शब्दापिहितकण्ठस्तु शोधनार्थमुपागतः।।।।चितामूले पितुर्वाक्यमिदमाह सुदुःखितः।
tataḥ prabhātasamaye divase ’tha trayodaśe | vilalāpa mahābāhur bharataḥ śokamūrchitaḥ | śabdāpihitakaṇṭhas tu śodhanārtham upāgataḥ | citāmūle pitur vākyam idam āha suduḥkhitaḥ ||
