"O king! the king who is not distant from him, a dark complexioned, one with lotus eyes who never transgresses his righteousness, who is a great charioteer of Ikshvaku race who knows use of Vedas, who is choicest, who knows the weapons presided over by Brahma whose arrows can pierce through the sky and even mountains whose anger is like anger of death, whose valour is like that of Indra whose consort has been borne away from Janasthana is Rama. He is advancing towards you to wage war with you."
