1.22.2

kausalyā suprajā rāma pūrvā saṃdhyā pravartate
uttiṣṭha naraśārdūla kartavyaṃ daivam āhnikam

Soon as appeared the morning light
Up rose the mighty anchorite,
And thus to youthful Ráma said,
Who lay upon his leafy bed:
'High fate is hers who calls thee son:
Arise,'tis break of day;
Rise, Chief, and let those rites be done
Due at the morning's ray.'
At that great sage's high behest
Up sprang the princely pair,
To bathing rites themselves addressed,
And breathed the holiest prayer.
Their morning task completed, they
To Vis'vámitra came

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