न तु मूर्धाभिषिक्तानां विधिः प्रत्युपवेशने ॥
169
In this world, it is only a Brahmin who
may obstruct a person by lying down on
one side; but there is no rule by which
o
crowned heads (lit. members of the
military class) can lie down in this wise.
उत्तिष्ठ नरशार्दूल हित्वैतद्दारुणं व्रतम् ।
पुरवर्यामितः क्षिप्रम् अयोध्यां याहि राघव ॥
Arise, O best of men, renouncing this
terrible vow. O scion of the Raghu race,
proceed quickly from here to Ayodhya,
the best of cities.
लक्ष्मीश्चन्द्रादपेयाद्वा हिमवान् वा हिमं त्यजेत् ।'
अतीयात् सागरो वेलां न प्रतिज्ञामहं पितुः ॥
It is conceivable that beauty may
forsake the moon, snow may leave
Himavan and the ocean may overleap the
shore. But I will never break the promise
made to my father.
कामाद्वा तात लोभाद्वा मात्रा तुभ्यमिदं कृतम् ।
न तन्मनसि कर्तव्यं वर्तितव्यं च मातृवत् ॥
