दिष्ट्या न चलितो धर्मादात्मा ते सहलक्ष्मणः।वत्स सत्यप्रतिज्ञो ते सतां लोकमवाप्स्यसि।।।।
diṣṭyā na calito dharmād ātmā te sahalakṣmaṇaḥ | vatsa satyapratijño te satāṃ lokam avāpsyasi ||
వత్సా, దైవకృపవల్ల నీ మనస్సు ధర్మమునుండి చలించలేదు—లక్ష్మణునిదీ అలాగే. నీవు సత్యప్రతిజ్ఞుడవు; అందువల్ల సత్పురుషుల లోకాన్ని పొందుతావు।
