PARASTRI PARANMUKHAT

"Well that inseparable company blessed me with the darsan of her lotus feet Which I adored as duty every morn soon after waking and up on my feet 
I could've easily identified, if her anklets or toe-rings tied in the bundle
For, my eyes are familiar with them, so could've recognised sans fumble".

The whole congregation's petrified including ⁸Jambavan and ⁹Hanuman
While Rama moving forward embraced that rare gem-of a man-Lakshman 
And said aloud amidst streams or joy flowing down his cheeks unceasingly 
"I'm indeed lucky be his brother; none can claim equality with me daringly

I dare to say, Lakshman's equal to Lakshman only, no world'll 've a peer.
If every woman, besides docile observes ¹⁰parapurusha vadanai vimukhata 
And every man bestdes being upright develops that parastri paranmukhata Mother Earth surpasses Heaven in virtues and can preach Ethics sans peer.

Making genuflexions, the Vanara community then hailed the brothers ideal 
That brought them to this world, when they greeted all like brothers ideal.
