Translation
M. N. Dutt (1891–94), via Valmiki Ramayan DatasetWise people should not perform actions that cause distress to others, and indeed, O elder brother of Lakshmana, even the auspicious words of younger ones should be accepted; therefore, O great-minded one, I listen to your good and appropriate speech. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये श्रीमदुत्तरकाण्डे त्र्यशीतितमः सर्गः ।। 83 ।। Thus ends the eighty-third sarga of Uttara Kanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.

Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)विचक्षण पुरुषों को लोक को पीड़ा देनेवाला कर्म नहीं करना चाहिये। लक्ष्मण के बड़े भाई! छोटों का भी शुभ वचन ग्रहण करना चाहिये। इसलिये महामते! मैं तुम्हारा यह भलीभाँति युक्त वचन मान लेता हूँ
