Verse 25·VR 2.111.25

न याचे पितरम् राज्यम् न अनुशासामि मातरम् | आर्यम् परम धर्मज्नम् अभिजानामि राघवम् || २-१११-२५

yadi tu avashyam vastavyam kartavyam ca pitur vacaH | aham eva nivatsyaami caturdasha vane samaaH || 2-111-26

Translation

"I never asked my father for the kingdom, nor did I counsel my mother to enthrone me. I never gave my approval for the exile of Rama, the venerable hero, who knows his duty very well."
