Canto 2 -
Ayodhyā-kāṇḍa
Chapter 52: Rāma Crosses the Gaṅgā on Guha’s Boat
Text 2.52.54

तव शुश्रूषणं मूर्ध्ना करिष्यामि वने वसन्।
अयोध्यां देवलोकं वा सर्वथा प्रजहाम्यहम्॥

tava śuśrūṣaṇaṁ mūrdhnā kariṣyāmi vane vasan
ayodhyāṁ deva-lokaṁ vā sarvathā prajahāmy aham

tava = unto You; śuśrūṣaṇam = menial services; mūrdhnā kariṣyāmi = I will respectfully render; vane = in the forest; vasan = while residing; ayodhyām = Ayodhyā; deva-lokam = the world of the devas; = as well as; sarvathā = in every manner; prajahāmi = give up; aham = I.

I will respectfully render menial services unto You while residing in the forest. In every manner I give up Ayodhyā as well as the world of the devas.1

1 Ayodhyā is where Sumantra resides. The world of the devas is what he can attain in his next life if he goes back and continues to render his prescribed activities within Vedic dharma. Sumantra has no personal interest; he simply wants to serve and please Lord Rāmacandra. He is pure devotee of Rāmacandra as a servitor.
