THE RAMAYANA
एष राजा दशरथो विमानस्थः पिता तव ।
लक्ष्मणेन सह भ्रात्रा त्वमेनमभिवादय ॥
" This your father, king Dasaratha is in
the vimana. Salute him along with your
brother Lakshmana."
महादेववचः श्रुत्वा राघवस्सहलक्ष्मणः ।
विमानशिखरस्थस्य प्रणाममकरोत् पितुः ॥
Hearing the words of Mahadeva-
Raghava, along with Lakshmana, made
his obeisance to his father seated high in
the vimana.
हर्षेण महताऽऽविष्टः पुत्रं दशरथस्तदा ।
बाहुभ्यां संपरिष्वज्य ततो वाक्यं समाददे ॥
Experiencing the highest delight, and
embracing his son with both his hands
Dasaratha then uttered these words:
न मे स्वगों बहुमतः सत्यं प्रतिशृणोमि ते ।
इदानीं तु विजानामि यथा सौम्य सुरेश्वरैः ।
वधार्थं रावणस्येदं विहितं पुरुषोत्तम ॥
'I swear to you truly; heaven itself is
not much to me. O amiable one, fore-
most of mortals, I understand only now
