THE RAMAYANA
Therefore, what that father, the cause of
my origin, king Dasaratha, has commanded
me to do—that shall not be falsified.
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण भरतः प्रत्यनन्तरम् ।
उवाच परमोदारः सूतं परमदुर्मनाः ॥
As soon as Rama had spoken thus,
extremely
Bharata,
the
noble
being highly afflicted with grief, said to
the charioteer :
+
इह मे स्थण्डिले शीघ्रं कुशानास्तर सारथे ।
आर्य प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यामि यावन्मे न प्रसीदति ॥
"O charioteer, here on this ground spread
the Kusa grass. I will lie down before my
noble brother (and abstain from food) as long
as he does not accede to my request."
तमुवाच महातेजा रामो राजर्षिसत्तमः ॥
Rama,
of great effulgence and the
foremost of saintly kings, said to Bharata :
किं मां भरत कुर्वाणं तात प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यसि ॥
"O dear Bharata, what would you
have me do by your lying down thus
(abstaining from food ?)
