Rajan, the virtuous are the essence of happiness and contentment, hence the affluence and grace follow them wherever they go like the rivers and watercourses rush to meet the ocean. You and your wives are highly devoted and righteous, have great respect, and lend relentless service to the twice-born, preceptors, deities, and cows, Devi Kausalya is equally pious as you, I have not seen such a noble soul like you and your consorts, and will not be seen in the future. Oh! Rajan, there is no one in the fourteen worlds as pious and fortunate as you, hence you have achieved that supreme Bhramam, Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma as your son Rama, and your four sons are equally auspicious to the world. These four children of yours are equally courageous, righteous, kind, valorous, submissive, amiable, true to their vows, strictly follows austerities and ocean of virtues. Oh! Rajan, you are the most fortunate one in the Universe, kindly make arrangements for the wedding of Rama, let the Kingdom reverberate with the sounds of auspicious musical instruments.”
