2.8.4

prāptāṃ sumahatīṃ prītiṃ pratītāṃ tāṃ hatadviṣam
upasthāsyasi kausalyāṃ dāsīva tvaṃ kṛtāñjaliḥ

Blest witn a lofty fate is she,
Kaus'alyá; for her son will be
Placed, when the moon and Pushya meet,
By Bráhmans on the royal seat,
Thou as a slave in suppliant guise
Must wait upon Kaus'alyá's eyes,
With all her wealth and bliss secured
And glorious from her foes assured.
Her slave with us who serve thee, thou
Wilt see thy son to Ráma bow,
And Sítá's friends exult o'er all,
While Bharat's wife shares Bharat's fall.'

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