THE RAMAYANA
deserves respectful treatment from you to
whom duty is above everything.
वन्दितव्याश्च ते नित्यं याः शेषा मम मातरः ।
स्नेहप्रणयसंभोगैः समा हि मम मातरः ॥
My other mothers too deserve to be
honoured always by you.
For to me my
mothers are all alike in
respect of
friendship, love and enjoyments.
सा त्वं वसेह कल्याणि राज्ञः समनुवर्तिनी ।
भरतस्य रता धर्मे सत्यव्रतपरायणा ॥
O good one, following the mandates of
king Bharata, live here devoted to righte-
ousness and practising the vow of truth."
एवमुक्ता तु वैदेही प्रियार्हा प्रियवादिनी ।
प्रणयादेव संक्रुद्धा भर्तारमिदमब्रवीत् ॥
Being thus addressed, Sita worthy of
love and speaker of sweet words but being
angered because of the very love, spoke
to her husband thus :
किमिदं भाषसे राम वाक्यं लघुतया ध्रुवम् ॥
"O Rama, why do you make a sure
statement of which the levity is obvious ?
