THE RAMAYANA
इदं तव च दुःखाय वैदेह्या लक्ष्मणस्य च ।
"O Queen, you surely do not know the
great impending calamity. It will cause
grief to you and to Sita and Lakshmana.
भरताय महाराजो यौवराज्यं प्रयच्छति ।
मां पुनर्दण्डकारण्ये विवासयति तापसम् ॥
The great king gives the Yuvarajya to
Bharata while he banishes me as an ascetic
to the Dandaka forest."
सा निकृत्तेव सालस्य यष्टिः परशुना वने ।
पपात सहसा देवी देवतेव दिवश्च्युता ॥
Like unto the trunk of a Sala tree cut
down by an axe in the forest, the queen
fell down suddenly as a goddess fallen
from heaven.
रामस्तूत्थापयामास मातरं गतचेतसम् ।
पांसुकुण्ठितसर्वाङ्गीं विममर्श च पाणिना ॥
Rama raised up his mother who had lost
consciousness and whose every limb was
covered with dust; and he stroked her
with his hands.
