AYODHYAKANDA
115
On obtaining his kingdom, Bharata, being
dominated by Kaikeyi, will not remember
Kausalya or Sumitra, suffering from great
distress.
सौमित्रे भर कौसल्यामुक्तमर्थमिमं चर ॥
O son of Sumitra, take care of Kausalya.
Fulfil this which I have said.
एवं च मम ते भक्तिर्भविष्यति सुशिता ।
धर्मश गुरुपूजायां धर्मश्चाप्यतुलो महान् ॥
In this way will your devotion to me
be properly shown. O Knower of Dharma,
the merit involved in the adoration of
elders is indeed incomparably great.
एवं कुरुष्व सौमित्रे मत्कृते रघुनन्दन ।
अस्माभिर्विप्रहीणाया मातुन न भवेत् सुखम् ॥
O son of Sumitra, deligh: of the Raghus,
act thus for my sake. To our mother,
bereft of us, there will not be any joy.
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण लक्ष्मणः इलक्ष्णया गिरा।
प्रत्युवाच तदा रामं वाक्यशो वाक्यकोविदम् ॥
Being thus told by Rama, Lakshmana,
well-versed in speech, then replied in gentle
words to Rama expert in speech.
