161
एष हि प्रथमो धर्मः क्षत्रियस्याभिषेचनम् ॥
This is indeed the supreme duty of a
Kshattriya—to get installed.
ऋणानि त्रीण्यपाकुर्वन् दुर्दृदः साधु निर्दहन् ।
सुहृदस्तर्पयन् का मैस्त्वमेवात्रानुशाधि माम् ॥
Discharging your three-fold obligations,
subjugating your foes and propitiating your
friends with every gratification, then may
you command me.
आक्रोशं मम मातुश्च प्रमृज्य पुरुषर्षभ ।
अद्य तत्रभवन्तं च पितरं रक्ष किल्बिषात् ॥
O foremost of men, wiping out the
blame of my mother, do you emancipate
our honoured father from sin.
शिरसा त्वाऽभियाचेऽहं कुरुष्व करुणां मयि ॥
With bowed head, I request you. Have
compassion on me.
अथैवत् पृष्ठतः कृत्वा वनमेव भवानितः ।
गमिष्यति गमिष्यामि भवता सार्धमप्यहम् ॥
If, disregarding this, you proceed from
here only to the forest, I too will go to
the forest along with you. "
