Sanskrit Original
जगु भय मगन गगन भइ बानी। लखन बाहुबलु बिपुल बखानी।। तात प्रताप प्रभाउ तुम्हारा। को कहि सकइ को जाननिहारा।। अनुचित उचित काजु किछु होऊ। समुझि करिअ भल कह सबु कोऊ।। सहसा करि पाछैं पछिताहीं। कहहिं बेद बुध ते बुध नाहीं।। सुनि सुर बचन लखन सकुचाने। राम सीयँ सादर सनमाने।। कही तात तुम्ह नीति सुहाई। सब तें कठिन राजमदु भाई।। जो अचवँत नृप मातहिं तेई। नाहिन साधुसभा जेहिं सेई।। सुनहु लखन भल भरत सरीसा। बिधि प्रपंच महँ सुना न दीसा।।

The world was seized with terror and a voice was heard in the air extolling the enormous strength of Laksmana's arm: "Who can tell, dear child, nay, who even knows your might and glory? But before doing anything one must judge whether it is right or wrong; then everyone would approve of it. They who act impulsively and repent afterwards are anything but wise: so declare the Vedas and the sages." On hearing this voice from heaven Laksmana felt abashed; but both Sri Rama and Sita addressed him kindly and politely: "What you have said, dear Laksmana, is sound wisdom; the intoxication of kingly power is the worst of all. But of those rulers who have tasted it they alone lose their head who have never waited on an assembly of saints. As for Bharata, I tell you, Laksmana, in the whole of God's creation I have never seen or heard of anyone so good as he."
