स राज्यं राघवः पातु भव त्वं विगतज्वरा।न हि ते राघवादन्यः क्षमः पुरवरे वसेत्।।2.35.34।।
sa rājyaṃ rāghavaḥ pātu bhava tvaṃ vigata-jvarā | na hi te rāghavād anyaḥ kṣamaḥ puravare vaset ||2.35.34||
愿那位罗伽婆守护王国；愿你远离烦热的躁动。因为在这座殊胜之城中，除罗摩外，再无人堪当居此为王。
Therefore, let Rama potect this kingdom. Be relieved of mental afflictions. There is no other person in this excellent city more competent than Rama to rule this kingdom.
