Temptation of Sumada and the Goddess’s Boon
तावत्कालमिहस्थास्ये यावद्रामहयागमः । पश्चात्त्वां तु समुद्धृत्य गंतास्मि परमं पदम्
tāvatkālamihasthāsye yāvadrāmahayāgamaḥ | paścāttvāṃ tu samuddhṛtya gaṃtāsmi paramaṃ padam
جب تک یہاں رام کا اشومیدھ یَجْن جاری رہے گا، میں یہیں ٹھہری رہوں گی۔ اس کے بعد میں تمہیں اٹھا کر تمہیں پرم دھام، یعنی اعلیٰ ترین مقام تک لے جاؤں گی۔
