THE RAMAYANA
विवेश ज्वलनं दीप्तं निःशङ्केनान्तरात्मना ।
Speaking thus and circumambulating
the fire, Vaidehi plunged in the blazing
and flaming fire with an undaunted
and flaming fire with an undaunted
heart.
ततः सहस्ताभरणान् प्रगृह्य विपुलान् भुजान् ।
अब्रुवंस्त्रिदशश्रेष्ठाः प्राञ्जलिं राघवं स्थितम् ॥
Then raising up their big hands be-
decked with ornaments, the most exalted
celestial beings said to Raghava who was
standing with folded hands:
कर्ता सर्वस्य लोकस्य श्रेष्ठो ज्ञानवतां वरः ।
उपेक्षसे कथं सीतां पतन्तीं हव्यवाहने ॥
" You, who are the creator of all the
worlds and the foremost of wise men,
why are you indifferent when Sita plunges
into the Fire ?"
ददौ रामाय वैदेहीम् अङ्के कृत्वा विभावसुः ।
अब्रवीच्च तदा रामं साक्षी लोकस्य पावकः ॥
Vibhavasu, the god of Fire and the
witness of all the world, placed Vaidehi
in his lap and then gave her to Rama
and said to Rama:
