अन्वक्षं लक्ष्मणो भ्रातुः कौसल्यामभ्यवादयत्।
अथ मातुः सुमित्राया जग्राह चरणौ पुनः॥
anvakṣaṁ lakṣmaṇo bhrātuḥ kausalyām abhyavādayat
atha mātuḥ sumitrāyā jagrāha caraṇau punaḥ
anvakṣam = following 1; lakṣmaṇaḥ = Lakṣmaṇa; bhrātuḥ = His brother; kausalyām = unto Kausalyā; abhyavādayat = offered His respectful obeisances; atha = then; mātuḥ = of His mother; sumitrāyāḥ = Sumitrā; jagrāha = He grasped; caraṇau = the lotus feet; punaḥ = also.
Following His brother, Lakṣmaṇa offered His respectful obeisances unto Kausalyā. Then He grasped the lotus feet of His mother Sumitrā.
GLOSS. Anvakṣam also indicates that Lakṣmaṇa offered His respectful obeisances unto Queen Kausalyā in the presence of His brother Rāma.
