अगस्त्य उवाच । शापाद्भीतः स सौमित्रिर्द्रुतं गत्वा तयोः पुरः । मुनिं निवेदयामास रामाग्रे दर्शनार्थिनम् । दुर्वाससं तपोराशिमत्रिनन्दनमागतम्

阿伽斯提耶说道：因惧诅咒，扫弥特利（罗什曼那）急趋至二者（罗摩与迦罗）之前，向罗摩禀告：求觐见的牟尼杜尔瓦萨——阿特里之子、苦行之宝藏——已然到来。
Agastya
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Lakṣmaṇa, anxious yet composed, rushes from the gate toward Rāma’s presence; the narration names Durvāsā as Atri’s son, blazing with tapas, heightening the gravity of the report.
