1.76.3

jāmadagnyo gato rāmaḥ prayātu caturaṅgiṇī
ayodhyābhimukhī senā tvayā nāthena pālitā

Then Ráma with a cheerful mind
The bow to Varun's hand resigned.
Due reverence to the saints he paid,
And thus addressed his sire dismayed:
'As Bhrigu's son is far from view,
Now let the host its march pursue,
And to Ayodhyá's town proceed
In four-fold bands, with thee to lead.'
