Lakshmana’s Vow to Follow Rama and the Retrieval of Divine Weapons
भवांस्तु सह वैदेह्या गिरिसानुषु रंस्यते।अहं सर्वं करिष्यामि जाग्रत स्स्वपतश्च ते।।।।
bhavāṃs tu saha vaidehyā girisānuṣu raṃsyate | ahaṃ sarvaṃ kariṣyāmi jāgrataḥ svapataś ca te ||
Ты же вместе с Вайдэхи можешь радоваться на горных склонах; я сделаю для тебя всё — и когда ты бодрствуешь, и когда спишь.
Pleased with his words Rama said, O Lakshmana! go and take leave of all your friends.
