Thereafter, Rama and Lakshmana, having fulfilled their purpose, stayed there that night, joyful heroes with greatly delighted inner selves (ātman).

And when the night had dawned, having performed their morning rituals, the two of them (Rama and Lakshmana) together approached Vishvamitra and the other sages.

Having bowed down to the best of sages, who was blazing like a fire, the two sweet-speaking ones spoke sweet and noble words.
इमौ स्वो मुनिशार्दूल किंकरौ समुपस्थितौ ।

"O best of sages, these two, your own servants, are present. Command us as you wish. What instruction shall we carry out?"
एवमुक्ते ततस्ताभ्यां सर्व एव महर्षयः ।

When this had been spoken by the two (princes), then all the great sages, with Viśvāmitra leading them, addressed Rāma with these words.
मैथिलस्य नरश्रेष्ठ जनकस्य भविष्यति ।
यज्ञः परमधर्मिष्ठस्तत्र यास्यामहे वयम् ॥६॥

O best among men, a most righteous sacrificial ritual (yajña) will take place for Janaka, the king of Mithila. We shall go there.
त्वं चैव नरशार्दूल सहास्माभिर्गमिष्यसि ।
अद्भुतं च धनूरत्नं तत्र त्वं द्रष्टुमर्हसि ॥७॥

And you, O tiger among men, will indeed come with us. There, you ought to see that marvelous jewel of a bow.
तद्धि पूर्वं नरश्रेष्ठ दत्तं सदसि दैवतैः ।
अप्रमेयबलं घोरं मखे परमभास्वरम् ॥८॥

Indeed, O best among men, that (bow) was formerly given by the gods in the assembly. It is of immeasurable strength, formidable, and exceedingly brilliant in the sacrificial ritual (yajña).
नास्य देवा न गन्धर्वा नासुरा न च राक्षसाः ।
कर्तुमारोपणं शक्ता न कथं चन मानुषाः ॥९॥
कर्तुमारोपणं शक्ता न कथं चन मानुषाः ॥९॥

devāḥ gandharvāḥ asurāḥ ca rākṣasāḥ na śaktāḥ
asya āropaṇam kartum na kathaṃ cana mānuṣāḥ
asya āropaṇam kartum na kathaṃ cana mānuṣāḥ
9.
Gods, Gandharvas, Asuras, Rākṣasas, and even humans, were in no way capable of stringing this (bow).
धनुषस्तस्य वीर्यं हि जिज्ञासन्तो महीक्षितः ।
न शेकुरारोपयितुं राजपुत्रा महाबलाः ॥१०॥
न शेकुरारोपयितुं राजपुत्रा महाबलाः ॥१०॥
10. dhanuṣastasya vīryaṃ hi jijñāsanto mahīkṣitaḥ ,

ca mahābalāḥ rājaputrāḥ na śekuḥ āropayitum
ca mahābalāḥ rājaputrāḥ na śekuḥ āropayitum
10.
Indeed, desiring to test the power of that bow, kings and mighty princes were unable to string it.
तद्धनुर्नरशार्दूल मैथिलस्य महात्मनः ।
तत्र द्रक्ष्यसि काकुत्स्थ यज्ञं चाद्भुतदर्शनम् ॥११॥

11.
O tiger among men, Kakutstha [Rama], there you will see that bow belonging to the great-souled Maithila [Janaka], and also a Vedic ritual (yajña) of wonderful spectacle.

yajñaphalam tena maithilena sarvadaivataiḥ yācitam
yajñaphalam tena maithilena sarvadaivataiḥ yācitam
12.
O best of men, that excellent bow, which had a beautiful hub, was indeed the fruit of a Vedic ritual (yajña). It was requested by Janaka and by all the gods.
एवमुक्त्वा मुनिवरः प्रस्थानमकरोत्तदा ।
सर्षिसंघः सकाकुत्स्थ आमन्त्र्य वनदेवताः ॥१३॥
सर्षिसंघः सकाकुत्स्थ आमन्त्र्य वनदेवताः ॥१३॥

tadā vanadevatāḥ āmantrya prasthānam akarot
tadā vanadevatāḥ āmantrya prasthānam akarot
13.
Having thus spoken, the foremost sage, accompanied by the assembly of sages and Kakutstha (Rama), then bid farewell to the forest deities and departed.
स्वस्ति वो ऽस्तु गमिष्यामि सिद्धः सिद्धाश्रमादहम् ।
उत्तरे जाह्नवीतीरे हिमवन्तं शिलोच्चयम् ॥१४॥
उत्तरे जाह्नवीतीरे हिमवन्तं शिलोच्चयम् ॥१४॥

14.
May well-being be unto you. I, having achieved my purpose (siddha), will now depart from Siddha-āśrama for the Himavat mountain range, located on the northern bank of the Gaṅgā.
प्रदक्षिणं ततः कृत्वा सिद्धाश्रममनुत्तमम् ।

uttarām diśam uddiśya prasthātum upacakrame
uttarām diśam uddiśya prasthātum upacakrame
15.
Then, having circumambulated the excellent Siddha-āśrama clockwise, he (the sage) began to set out, heading towards the northern direction.
तं व्रजन्तं मुनिवरमन्वगादनुसारिणाम् ।
शकटी शतमात्रं तु प्रयाणे ब्रह्मवादिनाम् ॥१६॥

prayāṇe tam vrajantam munivaram anvagāt
prayāṇe tam vrajantam munivaram anvagāt
16.
A train of a hundred carts, belonging to the followers who were expounders of the Brahman (Vedas), followed that departing foremost sage on the journey.
मृगपक्षिगणाश्चैव सिद्धाश्रमनिवासिनः ।
अनुजग्मुर्महात्मानं विश्वामित्रं महामुनिम् ॥१७॥

17.
The herds of deer and birds, and indeed, the residents of the hermitage of perfected beings (siddhāśrama), followed the great-souled (mahātman) great sage Viśvāmitra.
ते गत्वा दूरमध्वानं लम्बमाने दिवाकरे ।

gatvā samāhitāḥ śoṇākūle vāsam cakruḥ
gatvā samāhitāḥ śoṇākūle vāsam cakruḥ
18.
Having traveled a great distance, as the sun (divākara) was setting low, those groups of sages, composed and attentive, made their dwelling on the bank of the Śoṇā river.
ते ऽस्तं गते दिनकरे स्नात्वा हुतहुताशनाः ।

hutahutāśanāḥ viśvāmitram पुरस्कृत्य निषेदुः
hutahutāśanāḥ viśvāmitram पुरस्कृत्य निषेदुः
19.
After the sun (dinakara) had set, those mighty ones, having bathed and offered oblations to the sacrificial fire, sat down, placing Viśvāmitra at the forefront.
रामो ऽपि सहसौमित्रिर्मुनींस्तानभिपूज्य च ।
अग्रतो निषसादाथ विश्वामित्रस्य धीमतः ॥२०॥

20.
Rāma also, accompanied by Lakṣmaṇa (Saumitri), having paid respect to those sages, then sat down in front of the wise Viśvāmitra.
अथ रामो महातेजा विश्वामित्रं महामुनिम् ।
पप्रच्छ मुनिशार्दूलं कौतूहलसमन्वितः ॥२१॥

mahāmunim muniśārdūlam viśvāmitram papraccha
mahāmunim muniśārdūlam viśvāmitram papraccha
21.
Then, Rama, mighty-spirited and filled with curiosity, asked the great sage Vishwamitra, who was like a tiger among ascetics.
भगवन् को न्वयं देशः समृद्धवनशोभितः ।
श्रोतुमिच्छामि भद्रं ते वक्तुमर्हसि तत्त्वतः ॥२२॥

22.
O revered one, what region is this, so beautifully adorned with lush forests? I wish to hear about it. May well-being be yours. Please tell me its true nature in detail.

23.
Impelled by Rama's words, the great ascetic (tapas), who adhered to excellent vows, narrated the entire history of that region amidst the other sages.
