THE RAMAYANA
Punishment must be inflicted even on a'
father who has become haughty, incapable of
determining right and wrong and addicted
to unrighteous ways.
अनुरक्तोऽस्मि भावेन भ्रातरं देवि तत्त्वतः ।
सत्येन धनुषा चैव दत्तेनेष्टेन ते शपे ॥
O Queen, I am truly attached to my
brother, because of his disposition. By
truth and bow and by gifts and sacrifices.
I swear to you.
दीप्तमग्निमरण्यं वा यदि रामः प्रवेक्ष्यति ।
प्रविष्टं तत्र मां देवि त्वं पूर्वमवधारय ॥
Should Rama enter the flaming fire or
the forest, O Queen, be sure that I shall
have entered there before him.
एतत्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा लक्ष्मणस्य महात्मनः ।
उवाच रामं कौसल्या रुदन्ती शोकलालसा ॥
Hearing these words of the high-souled
Lakshmana, Kausalya, weeping and tossed
about by sorrow, spoke to Rama :
धर्मश यदि धर्मिष्ठो धर्म चरितुमिच्छसि ।
शुश्रूष मामिहस्थस्त्वं चर धर्ममनुत्तमम् ॥
