2.58.39

evaṃ sa kṛpaṇaṃ tatra paryadevayatāsakṛt
tato 'smai kartum udakaṃ pravṛttaḥ saha bhāryayā

Thus with wild tears the aged saint
Made many a time his piteous plaint,
Then with his wife began to shed
The funeral water for the dead.
But in a shape celestial clad,
Won by the merits of the lad.
The spirit from the body brake
And to the mourning parents spake:
'A glorious home in realms above
Rewards my care and filial love.
You, honoured parents, soon shall be
Partakers of that home with me.'

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