ततः शोकाभिसंतप्तं सुग्रीवं क्लिनवाससम्। शाखामृगमहामात्रा: परिवार्योपतस्थिरे॥ अभिगम्य महाबाहुं राममक्लिष्टकारिणम्। स्थिताः प्राञ्जलयः सर्वे पितामहमिवर्षयः॥

संविधास्यति कार्याणि सर्वाणि ससुहृद्गणः। स्रोतोऽयं विविधैर्गन्धैरौषधैश्च यथाविधि॥ अर्चयिष्यति माल्यैश्च रत्नैश्च त्वां विशेषतः। इमां गिरिगुहां रम्यामभिगन्तुं त्वमर्हसि।७।। कुरुष्व स्वामिसम्बन्धं वानरान् सम्प्रहर्षय।

पूर्वोऽयं वार्षिको मासः श्रावणः सलिलागमः। प्रवृत्ताः सौम्य चत्वारो मासा वार्षिकसंज्ञिताः॥ नायमुद्योगसमयः प्रविश त्वं पुरीं शुभाम्। अस्मिन् वत्स्याम्यहं सौम्य पर्वते सहलक्ष्मणः॥
