ततः then, महात्मा the great sage, सुतीक्ष्णः Sutikshna, सन्ध्यानिवृत्तौ evening twilight had passed, रजनीम् night, ताभ्याम् to both of them, पुरुषर्षभाभ्याम् to both best of men, तापस भोज्यम् (योग्यम्) that which is fit for ascetics, अन्नम् food, सुसत्कृत्य with all hospitality, स्वयम् himself, ददौ presented.

Seeing that the evening had passed and night had set in, the great sage Sutikshna with due hospitality, served those best of men, food fit for ascetics. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अरण्यकाण्डे सप्तमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the seventh sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
