THE RAMAYANA
शत्तया निर्भिन्नहृदयः पपात भुवि लक्ष्मणः ॥
Then, with his heart pierced through
by the Sakti driving deep through the
force of Ravana, Lakshmana fell on the
ground.
तदवस्थं समीपस्थो लक्ष्म
भ्रातृस्नेहान्महातेजा विषण्णहृदयोऽभवत् ॥
Looking at Lakshmana in that condi-
tion the highly effulgent Raghava, who
was standing near, became sad at heart
through his brotherly love.
अयं स समरश्लाघी भ्राता मे शुभलक्षणः ।
यदि पञ्चत्वमापन्नः प्राणै
" If this my brother, famous in battle
and of auspicious marks, is killed, of
what use is life to me or happiness?
न हि युद्धेन मे कार्
For I seek nothing any more, through
fighting : life is no use to me, nor is Sita.
देशेदेशे कलत्राणि देशेदेशे च बान्धवाः ।
तं तु देशं न पश्यामि यत्र भ्राता सहोदरः ॥
