To him, words are not coming off to say an unpleasant thing to you for you are his beloved son. So you must fulfil the promise he has made to me. [2-18-21]
धर्मूलमिदम् राम विदितम् च सतामपि | तत्सत्यम् न त्यजेद्राजा कुपितस्त्वत्कृते यथा || २-१८-२४
Oh ! Rama, this (truth) is the basis of righteousness. The virtuous also know this. The king being angry (with me), should not abandon the truth for your sake. [2-18-24]
