कौसल्या सुप्रजा राम पूर्वा संध्या प्रवर्तते
उत्तिष्ठ नरशार्दूल कर्तव्यं दैव मान्हिकम्
kousalyaa suprajaa raama poorvaa saMdhyaa pravartatE
uttiShTha narashaardoola kartavyaM daiva maanhikam
Shloka Meaning:
O good son of kausalya the morning twilight has begun in the east
get up the best amongst men duty respected by Gods need to be done
This is a shloka from the 23rd Sarga of Baalakaanda from Valmiki Maharshi's Ramayana. Sage Vishwaamitra brings both Rama and Lakshmana the forest in order to destroy the evils that were destroying their yagnas and the prayers to Gods. Before crossing the river they rested near the River Bank and the next day early morning when the Sun raised in the east, the great sage woke Rama to do his duty that is respected by Gods.
