The Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki 2.3.2

2.3.2

aho 'smi paramaprītaḥ prabhāvaś cātulo mama
yan me jyeṣṭhaṃ priyaṃ putraṃ yauvarājyastham icchatha

The monarch with the prayer complied
Of suppliant hands, on every side
Uplifted like a lotus-bed:
And then these gracious words he said:
'Great joy and mighty fame are mine
Because your loving hearts incline,
In full assembly clearly shown
To place my Ráma on the throne.'
Then to Vas'ishtha, standing near,
And Vámadeva loud and clear
The monarch spoke that all might hear:
''Tis pure and lovely Chaitra now
When flowers are sweet on every bough;
All needful things with haste prepare
That Ráma be appointed heir.'
