Thy firm resolve is nobly great,
And high success on thee shall wait.
Yea, thou shalt win a priceless meed—
Thy path with him to heaven shall lead.”
As thus they spake, they could not hold
The tears that down their faces rolled,
While still they followed for a space
Their darling of Ikshváku’s race.
In plain words: The people tell Lakshmana his firm loyalty will bring him success and lead him to heaven with Rama. Crying, they keep following the chariot of their beloved prince.
