2.103.18

uttiṣṭha naraśārdūla hitvaitad dāruṇaṃ vratam
puravaryām itaḥ kṣipram ayodhyāṃ yāhi rāghava

When Bharat saw Sumantra's eye
Looked up to Ráma for reply,
The Prince himself in eager haste
The sacred grass in order placed.
Him great and mighty Ráma, best
Of royal saints, in turn addressed:
'What, Bharat, have I done, that thou
Besiegest me, a suppliant now?
Thus streched, to force redress for wrongs
To men of Bráhman birth belongs,
Not those upon whose kingly head
The consecrating drops are shed.
Up, lord of men! arise, and quit
This fearful vow for thee unfit.
Go, brother, seek Ayodhyá's town,
Fair city ot supreme renown.'

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