2.4.42
ity evam ukto mātredaṃ rāmo bhāratam abravīt
prāñjaliṃ prahvam āsīnam abhivīkṣya smayann iva
He smiled, and on his brother gazed
Who sate with reverent hands upraised,
And said: 'My brother, thou must be
Joint-ruler of this land with me.
My second self thou, Lakshman, art,
And in my fortune bearest part.
Be thine, Sumitrá's son, to know
The joys from regal power that flow.
My life itself, the monarch's seat,
For thy dear sake to me are sweet.
