O revered monkey, do not grieve
Bharata the noble king of Ayodhya
had sent envoys to all regions
and I, Rama, am one among them
To protect dharma and destroy evil
is our mission as ordered by the king
Sons and brothers are equal in status
yet you stole your son’s wife
O son of Indra, that is why I killed you
please understand, you noble monkey
