The R
carrying the struggling Sita on his lap, who
was his death in bodily form.
राक्षसं मृगरूपेण चरन्तं कामरूपिणम् ।
निहत्य रामो मारीचं तूर्णं पथि निवर्
After killing the Rakshasa Maricha who
could assume any shape at will and who
was then moving about as a deer, Rama
returned hastily along the path.
ततोऽविदूरे रामेण समीयाय स लक्ष्मणः ।
सञ्जगर्हेऽथ तं भ्राता ज्येष्ठो लक्ष्मण मागतम् ॥
Within a short distance, Lakshmana met
with Rama. The eldest brother Rama took
to task Lakshmana who had come:
न हि ते परितुष्यामि त्यत्तवा यद्यासि मैथिलीम् ।
सर्वथा त्वपनीतं ते नाकरो: शासनं मम ।
अपि क्षेमं नु सीताया इति वै व्याजहार च ॥
"I am not pleased with you in that you
have come leaving Sita alone. In any case,
a fault has been committed by you in that
you have disobeyed my order."
And he added: "Is it well indeed with
Sita "?
