kathaṃ dāśarathī vīrau bhrātarau rāmalakṣmaṇau |
prasthāpitau vanaṃ brahma maithilī ca yaśasvinī || 2 ||
"Yudhishthira said, 'O adorable one, thou hast described to me in detail the history of the birth of Rama and others. I wish to learn the cause of their exile. Do thou, O Brahmana, relate why the sons of Dasaratha--the brothers Rama and Lakshmana--went to the forest with famous princess of Mithila.'
