Translation (English)

O Lord let the peoples' prayer be fulfilled by your blessings. We would like to see your son Rama of the complexion of a bluelotus and destroyer of enemies as prince regent.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

Let the people's prayer be fulfilled, O Lord. The assembly addresses Dasharatha as a lord who has the power to grant the deepest wish of every heart. The verse is the crescendo of the plea — all arguments made, all virtues listed, only the king's action remains.
