By now Lav and Kush are grown up. Sita decides to give them

knowledge and wisdom of how to be a good ruler. She encourages them to build a beautiful Bharat (India) that shall be a dream for mankind.

Lav – Kush had reached adoloscence

They should achieve their goal

Hence Sita thought of giving them

Knowledge of ruler's role.

The land of my Mother is truly a shrine,

I salute Her again and again in my mind

She is crowned by the Himalayas

The holy Ganges garlands her,

Her feet are gently washed,

By three mighty oceans forever.

Civilizations flourish here,

She fore-bears Love and Peace

As She has fore-borne the Vedas

And several saints and sages.

It is the great fortune of this land

Lord himself descends from above,

For to all the living beings

She gives Mother’s love.

Incarnation she is of timeless Divinity,

She is Shakti , Bhakti ,and Mukti

She is the embodiment of knowledge and duty,

She is Mother India, our land of beauty.

The land of my Mother is truly a shrine,

I salute Her again and again in my mind.

Oh Sakhis! Have you been to sacred places?

If your heart is not truthful

Even if you see them in thousands

The pilgrimages are not fruitful.

Society and people’s development

Oh sons! Is dependant upon you

To fulfill these correctly

Knowledge you must accrue ||1||

Always think of common citizens

Seek counsel of the wise

Consider their thoughts

And your own plans devise ||2||

Work in selfless manner

Be positive on your part

Let God provide resources

Let His name be in your heart ||3||

Respect nature and society

And your body's physical need

Eat food of good origin

Pure mind will then succeed ||4||

It is for a ruler

To know many a themes

Always seek knowledge

By learning several streams||5||

In journey seek good friends

Argue not with any unknown man.

Pray at local shrines

Tell deities your work plan ||6||

Keep worthy colleagues

Happy and satisfied

Food, water, shelter, fame

Is their need dignified||7||

Requisites of their roles

Is your duty to provide

When you take care of them

They serve you with pride ||8||

When you call a forum,

Know thought of every member,

Weave it like a garland

For the Gods remember. ||9||

Let this be your felicity*

People’s welfare be supreme

Believe in inner strength

Fulfill your nation's dream ||10||

The veins do their jobs,

Carry blood for your health

If a demon cuts the veins,

You will bleed to death.

The Ruler channels wealth,

For the poor people’s growth

If a demon grabs the money,

The nation bleeds to death.
