Then Ráma, Sítá, Lakshmaṇ bent
At the king’s feet, and sadly went
Round him with slow steps reverent.
When Ráma of the duteous heart
Had gained his sire’s consent to part,
With Sítá by his side he paid
Due reverence to the queen dismayed.
In plain words: Rama, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana bow at King Dasaratha's feet and walk around him in respect. With the king's permission to leave, Rama and Sita honor the heartbroken queen.
