श्रीराम उवाच ।
एकैव वासना ब्रह्मन्या चतुर्णां सदोदिता ।
नानातां सा कथं प्राप्ता हीनोत्तमफलप्रदाम् ॥ ५ ॥

ekaiva vāsanā brahmanyā caturṇāṃ sadoditā |
nānātāṃ sā kathaṃ prāptā hīnottamaphalapradām || 5 ||

Rama asked said:—How is it sir, that the four persons of Vipaschit, having but one mind, and the same desire and aim in view, could differ so much in their acts, that brought upon them such different results of good and evil?
