प्रष्टव्योऽहं त्वया राम दैवपौरुषनिर्णयः ।
मदुक्तं पौरुषं पाल्यं त्वयेति नियतिः स्थिता ॥ २३ ॥

praṣṭavyo'haṃ tvayā rāma daivapauruṣanirṇayaḥ |
maduktaṃ pauruṣaṃ pālyaṃ tvayeti niyatiḥ sthitā || 23 ||

What more have you to ask me, Rama! with regard to destiny and self-exertion; when I tell you that it is destined to all beings to betake themselves to their proper actions, in the destined or prescribed manner, in order to bring about the desired result?
