THE RAMAYANA
तत्रैव तेजसा वीर भरतः पालयिष्यति ।
कौसल्यां च सुमित्रां च प्रयतो नात्र संशयः ॥
O hero, through your power, the
zealous Bharata will protect Kausalya and
Sumitra. Of this there is no doubt.
कुरुष्व मामनुचरं वैधर्म्य नेह विद्यते ।
कृतार्थोऽहं भविष्यामि तव चार्थः प्रकल्पते ॥
Make me your follower. In this, there
is no transgression of duty. I shall have
attained my desire and your interest also
will be served.
धनुरादाय सशरं खनित्रपिटकाधरः ।
अग्रतस्ते गमिष्यामि पन्थानमनुदर्शयन् ॥
Taking the bow and arrow and
bearing the hoe and the basket, I shall
proceed in front of you pointing out
the path.
आहरिष्यामि ते नित्यं मूलानि च फलानि च ।
वन्यानि यानि चान्यानि स्वाहाराणि तपस्विनाम्॥
I shall daily gather roots and fruits for
you and other things of the forest that
are good food suited to ascetics.
