Tirukkurrala Utal 17

17

Donning bark garments as clothing and sacred grass, assuming the garb of rare penance,
in ancient days wandering and roaming through every forest, and then reaching Ayodhyā,
united with the woman Sītā and ruling the earth — knowing the ways of your elder brother,
having heard it with your own ears, why do you speak thus, O lady of flute-like speech with carp-like eyes?
