THE RAMAYANA
आर्यस्सर्वसमश्चैव सदैकप्रियदर्शनः ॥
The resort of good men at all times as
the ocean is of rivers, noble, impartial and
always the one comely person,
स च सर्वगुणोपेतः कौसल्यानन्दवर्द्धनः ।
समुद्र इव गाम्भीर्यो स्थैर्ये च हिमवानिव ॥
He is, besides. endowed with all merito-
rious qualities, increases the joy of Kau-
salya, is like the ocean in depth and in
firmness like Himavan,
विष्णुना सदृशो वीर्ये सोमवत् प्रियदर्शनः ।
धनदेन समस्त्यागे सत्ये धर्म इवापरः ॥
Like Vishnu in valour, pleasant of coun-
tenance like the moon, Kubera's equal in
bounty and in truthfulness like another
Dharma.".
नारदस्य तु तद्वाक्यं श्रुत्वा वाक्यविशारदः ।
जगाम तमसातीरं जा
Valmiki, the learned in speech, hearing
thus the words of Narada, proceeded to the
banks of the Tamasa, not far distant from
the Ganges.
