देवि mother, तत्त्वत: truly, भावेन from the bottom of my heart, भ्रातरम् my brother, अनुरक्तः अस्मि I am loyal, सत्येन truthfully, धनुषा चैव with bow also, दत्तेन on charity, इष्टेन on sacrifice, ते to you, शपे I swear.

O mother, (Lakshmana now tells Kausalya) I am truly loyal to my brother from the bottom of my heart. I swear this by my bow, on my merits earned through charity, by my truthfulness and by the good deeds I have done.
