यस्यां तदहतं ज्ञानं मदुक्तं बोधमेष्यति ॥ १६ ॥

mṛgo bhūtvā mahāpuṇyāṃ tāṃ sabhāṃ samavāptavān |
yasyāṃ tadahataṃ jñānaṃ maduktaṃ bodhameṣyati || 16 ||

By becoming a deer, you will have to enter the holy assembly (of Dasaratha); where another deer like you, has obtained his liberation before, by listening to the spiritual instructions formerly delivered there by me.
