Sloka:
King Janaka, with much enthusiasm, soon had his servants bring the Thryambakam bow, which shines like the sun, to the chamber and respectfully addressed the Sage thus.
 

O son of Kusika, crown of sages, world-renowned,

most tactful and with malice towards none

 

This is the bow famous over the three worlds

many are the kings striven to lift it and lost out

 

Though merely a boy, if he is smart

let him lift it, string it and break it
