THE RAMAYANA
Without
you, I do not long for the
acquisition of the abode of the gods or
for immortality. Nor do I desire even the
lordship of all the worlds."
ततोऽब्रवीन्महातेजा रामो लक्ष्मणमग्रतः ॥
Then Rama, of great effulgence, spoke
to Lakshmana, who was standing in front :
स्निग्धो धर्मरतो वीरः सततं सत्पथे स्थितः ।
प्रियः प्राणसमो वश्यो भ्राता चापि सखा च मे ॥
life,
and
"You who are affectionate, devoted to
duty, heroic, ever rooted in the righteous
path, loved, equal to my
obedient--you are both brother and
companion to me.
मयाऽद्य सह सौमित्रे त्वयि गच्छति तद्वनम् ।
को भरिष्यति कौसल्यां सुमित्रांवा यशस्विनीम् ॥
If to-day, O son of Sumitra, you also
proceed to the forest along with me, who
will support Kausalya or Sumitra of
good fame.?
न स्मरिष्यति कौसल्यां सुमित्रां च सुदुःखिताम् ।
भरतो राज्यमासाद्य कैकेय्यां पर्यवस्थितः ॥
