Sanskrit Original
स राजराजः भव सत्यसङ्गरः कुलं च शीलं च हि रक्ष जन्म च। परत्रवासे हि वदन्त्यनुत्तमं तपोधनास्सत्यवचो हितं नृणाम्।।
sa rājarājaḥ bhava satyasaṅgaraḥ kulaṅ ca śīlaṅ ca hi rakṣa janma ca. paratravāsē hi vadantyanuttamaṅ tapōdhanāssatyavacō hitaṅ nṛṇām৷৷
O king of kings, by being true to your vow, protect your race, character and lineage. Those sages whose ascetism is their wealth maintain that there is no merit superior to truthfulness which can confer man a place in the other world. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे एकादशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the eleventh sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
