सङ्गता मुनय: सर्वे सञ्जजल्पुरथो मिथ:। कच्चित्पितृवधामर्षी क्षत्रं नोत्सादयिष्यति।
Meaning
All the assembled sages then whispered among themselves: 'Is he, angered by his father's slaying, about to annihilate the entire warrior class again?'
पूर्वं क्षत्रवधं कृत्वा गतमन्युर्गतज्वर:। क्षत्रस्योत्सादनं भूयो न खल्वस्य चिकीर्षितम्।
Meaning
'Having once already destroyed the Kshatriyas, his fury and fever are surely spent -- it cannot truly be his wish to lay waste to them once more.'
एवमुक्त्वार्घ्यमादाय भार्गवं भीमदर्शनम्। ऋषयो रामरामेति वचो मधुरमब्रुवन्।
Meaning
Having said this, the sages approached the fearsome-looking descendant of Bhrigu bearing an offering, and spoke sweetly, repeating 'Rama, Rama.'
प्रतिगृह्य तु तां पूजामृषिदत्तां प्रतापवान्। रामं दाशरथिं रामो जामदग्न्योऽभ्यभाषत।
Meaning
The mighty Rama, son of Jamadagni, accepting that honor offered by the sages, then addressed Rama, the son of Dasaratha.
