THE RAMAYANA
साधु राघव मा भूत्ते बुद्धिरेवं निरथिंका ।
प्राकृतस्य नरस्येव ह्यार्यबुद्धेर्मनस्विनः ॥
"O Raghava, let not by any means the
mind of one like you who are wise and
good, be devoid of purpose like that of
an ordinary man.
पित्र्यं राज्यं परिस्यज्य स नार्हसि नरोत्तम ।
आस्थातुं कापथं दुःखं विषमं बहुकण्टकम् ॥
O best of men, you must not abandon
the hereditary kingdom and adopt this
bad course with ups and downs, full of
thorns, and causing misery."
जाबालेस्तु वचश्श्रुत्वा रामस्सत्यवतां वरः ।
उवाच परया सूत्तया स्वबुद्ध्या चाविपन्नया ॥
Hearing the words of Jabali, Rama, the
foremost of those rooted in truth, said in
proper speech, being unshaken in mind :
भवान् मे प्रियकामार्थ वचनं यदिहोक्तवान् ।
अकार्य कार्यसङ्काशमपथ्यं पथ्यसंमितम् ॥
"What you have now said for the
attainment of my good is indeed unworthy
