1.3

sītā jāda, kallaṃ kkhu tumhehiṃ ajujjhāe gaṃtavvaṃ | tahiṃ so rāā viṇaeṇa ṇamidavvo | lavaḥ amba, kim āvābhyāṃ rājopajīvibhyāṃ bhavitavyam? | sītā jāda, so kkhu tumhāṇaṃ pidā | lavaḥ kim āvayo raghupatiḥ pitā? | sītā (sāśaṅkam) jāda, ṇa kkhu paraṃ tumhāṇaṃ, saalāe jjaivva puhavīe

Sītā: Children, tomorrow you must go to Ayodhyā; there you must bow with humility to the king. — Lava: Mother, are we to be dependants of the king? — Sītā: Child, he is your father. — Lava: Is the lord of the Raghus our father? — Sītā (apprehensively): Child, not yours only — of the whole earth.
