THE RAMAYANA
यस्त्वया सह स स्वर्गो निरयो यस्त्वया विना ।
इति जानन् परां प्रीतिं गच्छ राम मया सह ॥
O Rama, with you it is heaven to me
without you it is hell. Be sure of this
my unique love, and go accompanied
by me."
तां परिष्वज्य बाहुभ्यां विसंज्ञामिव दुःखिताम् ।
उवाच वचनं रामः परिविश्वासयंस्तदा ।
Rama then put his arms round her,
nearly beside herself with grief, and
spoke these words reassuringly :
न देवि तव दुःखेन स्वर्गमप्यभिरोचये ।
अनुगच्छस्व मां भीरु सहदर्मचरी भव ॥
'O lady, I do not desire even heaven
at the cost of your distress. O gentle
one, follow me and be my associate in all
duties.
आरभस्व गुरुश्रोणि वनवासक्षमाः क्रियाः ।
नेदानीं त्वते सीते स्वर्गोऽपि मम रोचते।
O heavy-hipped one ! begin the acts
preparatory to forest-life.
0 Sita, even
heaven would not please me now, without
you."
