सुमन्त्रं चैव सरथं स्थीयतामिति लक्ष्मणः । उवाच शोकसन्तप्तः प्रयाहीति च नाविकम् ।। ७.४७.२ ।।
Afflicted with grief, Lakshmana said to Sumantra, “Let [him or it] remain here along with the chariot,” and to the boatman, “Proceed.” The transmitted singular imperative leaves the implied subject of “let remain” unstated; it may refer to Sumantra, with the chariot, or to the chariot understood with him.

Death today would be better for me, or whatever death may come thereafter; and I should not be assigned to such a task, one condemned by the world.
