वनं नगरमेवास्तु येने गच्छति राघवः।
अस्माभिश्च परित्यक्तं पुरं सम्पद्यतां वनम्॥
vanaṁ nagaram evāstu yena gacchati rāghavaḥ
asmābhiś ca parityaktaṁ puraṁ sampadyatāṁ vanam
vanam = the forest; nagaram eva = a city; astu = will be; yena = through which; gacchati = travels; rāghavaḥ = Rāghava; asmābhiḥ = by us; ca = and; parityaktam = abandoned; puram = the city; sampadyatām = will become; vanam = a forest.
The forest through which Rāghava travels will be a city, and the city abandoned by us will become a forest.1
