THE RAMAYANA
Being told of what should be done on
the installation of the morrow and given
leave to depart, Rama went to his
residence after saluting his father.
ज्ञातिदासी यतो जाता कैकेय्यास्तु सहोषिता ।
प्रासादं चन्द्रसंकाशमारुरोह यदृच्छया ॥
A slave-maid of Kaikeyi's family, who
was living with her, came up to the
palace, bright like the moon, by chance.
प्रहृष्टमुदितैः पौररुच्छ्रितध्वजमालिनीम् ।
अयोध्यां मन्थरा दृष्ट्वा परं विस्मयमागता ।
अविदूरे स्थितां दृष्ट्वा धात्रीं पप्रच्छ मन्थरा ।
अतिमात्रप्रहर्षोऽयं किं जनस्य च शंस मे ॥
Seeing Ayodhya filled with happy and
rejoicing citizens and with flags and fes-
toons flying high, the crooked Manthara
was overcome with great wonder.
Seeing the nurse standing not far dis-
tantly, Manthara asked her : " What is
this unmeasured joy of the people? Tell
me."
विदीर्यमाणा हर्षेण धात्री तु परया मुदा ।
आचचक्षेऽथ कुब्जायै भूयसीं राघवश्रियम् ॥
