AYODHYAKANDA
पितुर्हि वचनाद्वीर कैकेय्याऽहं प्रचोदितः ।
तदेनां विसृजानार्यां क्षत्रधर्माश्रितां मतिम् ।
धर्ममाश्रय मा तैक्ष्ण्यं मद्बुद्धिरनुगम्यताम् ॥
Only on the word of my father, have I
been ordered by Kaikeyi, O hero! There-
fore abandon your view which is unworthy
and in conformity with the Kshatriya code
of conduct. Take to righteousness and
not to harshness. Let my view be adopted.
93
यस्या मदभिषेकार्थे मानसं परितप्यते ।
माता मे सा यथा न स्यात् सविशङ्का तथा कुरु ॥
So behave that my mother may be
reassured, she whose mind is made uneasy
by my (proposed) installation.
सत्यः सत्याभिसन्धश्च नित्यं सत्यपराक्रमः ।
परलोकभयाद् भीतो निर्भयोऽस्तु पिता मम ॥
Let my father who is true, true to his
undertakings and is always of true valour
and is disturbed by the fear of the next
world-let him be rid of fear.
कृतान्तस्त्वेव सौमित्रे द्रष्टव्यो मत्प्रवासने ।
राज्यस्य च वितीर्णस्य पुनरेव निवर्तने ॥
