THE RAMAYANA
Even as she was lamenting thus, Man-
dodari the queen became unconscious.
तथागतां समुत्पत्य सपत्न्यस्ता भृशातुराः ।
पर्यवस्थापयामासू रुदन्त्यो रुदतीं भृशम् ॥
Raising her who was in such a state,
those weeping co-wives who were highly
distressed, consoled her who was weeping
very much.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे रामो विभीषणमुवाच ह ॥
In the meanwhile, Rama said to
Vibhishana :
संस्कारः क्रियतां भ्रातुः स्त्रियश्चैता निवर्तय ।
त्वत्सकाशाद्दशग्रीवः संस्कारं विधिपूर्वकम् ।
प्राप्तुमर्हति धर्मज्ञ त्वं यशोभाग् भविष्यसि ॥
"Perform the funeral rites of your
brother and cause these ladies to retire.
The ten-necked Ravana deserves to have
his funeral rites performed by you accord-
ing to the ordinance. O knower of
ing to
righteousness you will also obtain fame."
