2.103.25

na yāce pitaraṃ rājyaṃ nānuśāsāmi mātaram
āryaṃ paramadharmajñam abhijānāmi rāghavam

Then Bharat rose: his hand he dipped,
And purifying water sipped:
'Each citizen,' he cried, 'give ear,
Attend, each counsellor and peer.
My mother planned, by me untaught,
To win the sway I never sought:

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

Ne'er Raghu's son could I despise,
In duty's lore supremely wise.
Now if obedience to our sire
This dwelling in the woods require,
I, till the destined years he spent,
Will dwell alone in banishment.'

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