Valmiki Ramayana 1.65.2

1.65.2

tam arcayitvā dharmātmā śāstradṛṣṭtena karmaṇā
rāghavau ca mahātmānau tadā vākyam uvāca ha

With cloudless lustre rose the sun;
The king, his morning worship done,
Ordered hid heralds to invite
The princes and the anchorite.
With honour, as the laws decree,
The monarch entertained the three.
Then to the youths and saintly man
Videha's lord this speech began:
'O blameless Saint, most welcome thou!
If I may please thee tell me how.
Speak, mighty lord, whom all revere,
'Tis thine to order, mine to hear.'
