महेन्द्र इव पौलोम्या भार्यया स समेयिवान् । तत्पश्चात् श्रीरामचन्द्रजीने देवताओंको नमस्कार किया और सुहृदोंसे अभिनन्दित हो अपनी पत्नी सीतासे मिले, मानो इन्द्रका शचीसे मिलन हुआ हो
mahendra iva paulomyā bhāryayā sa sameyivān |
Sinabi ni Mārkaṇḍeya: Muling nagsama siya at ang kanyang asawa, na wari’y si Mahendra (Indra) na muling nakatagpo ang kanyang kabiyak na si Paulomī (Śacī). Pagkaraan, nagbigay-galang si Sri Ramachandra sa mga diyos, tinanggap ang pagbati ng mga kaibigan, at nakipagtagpo sa kanyang asawang si Sita—isang mapalad na muling pagsasama na nakapaloob sa dharma, pasasalamat, at pagkakaisang panlipunan.
