rājasūyaphalaṃ prāptaṃ lavaṇena kila prabho |
pramāṇaṃ kimivātra syātkalpanājālaśambare || 1 ||

Rama asked said:—What evidence is there sir, in proof of Lavana's obtaining the reward of his mental sacrifice of Rajasuya, in his transformation to the state of the Chandala, as it was wrought upon him by the enchantment of the magician?
