2.82.27

prasādyamānaḥ śirasā mayā svayaṃ bahuprakāraṃ yadi na prapatsyate
tato 'nuvatsyāmi cirāya rāghavaṃ vane vasan nārhati mām upekṣitum //

While I remain for Ráma there,
S'atrnghna will my exile share,
And Ráma in his home again,
With Lakshman, o'er Ayodhyá reign,
for him, to rule and guard the state,
The twice-born men shall consecrate.
O, may the Gods I serve incline
To grant this earnest wish of mine!
If when I bow before his feet
And with all moving arts entreat,
He still deny my prayer,
Then with my brother will I live:
He must, he must permission give,
Roaming in forests there.'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
