2.32_5

Then, although various efforts were made, the princess of Mithilā’s desire to follow him did not abate, and Lakṣmaṇa too had not abandoned his resolve to go along; so Rāma gave away all his ornaments to Suyajña the son of Vasiṣṭha, along with a thousand elephants, and the intoxicated elephant named Śatruñjaya given by his maternal uncle, and costly jewels to Agastya and Viśvāmitra; and then he favored the son of Sumitrā, saying: “Take all these weapons—the two bows that destroy the valor of the enemies of the gods, the two suits of armor that grant infallible protection, the two quivers with endless arrows attached, and the two swords that accomplish heroic feats, given by Varuṇa in the assembly of the aquatic beings—and follow me.”
Sītā too gave all her ornaments to the wife of Suyajña.
Then the son of Sumitrā also gratified a teacher dependent on Kausalyā with the wealth under his control.
There the lord of the Raghus gave wealth of cattle up to the boundary of the land reached by a staff thrown by his own hand to a poor brāhmaṇa named Trijaṭa and his family, and distributed various riches to brāhmaṇas such as Kapiñjala.
