ARANYAKANDA
187
O darling, two yojanas from here, there
is a beautiful spot well known as Panchavati
which abounds in roots, fruits, water and
various animals. Going thither and making
your abode there with the help of
Lakshmana, you will live happily, fulfilling
your father's command exactly.
तीर्णप्रतिशः काकुत्स्थ सुखं राज्ये निषत्स्यसि ॥
Having fulfilled your promise, O Kakutstha,
you will live happily in your kingdom
(as a king)."
अगस्त्येनैवमुक्तस्तु रामस्सौमित्रिणा सह ।
सत्कृत्यामन्त्रयामास तमृषिं सत्यवादिनम् ॥
Being told thus by Agastya, Rama along
with Lakshmana, honoured and took leave
of that truth-speaking sage.
अथ पञ्चवीं गच्छन्नन्तरा रहनन्दनः ।
आससाद महाकायं गृधं भीमपराक्रमम् ॥
स तं पितृसखं बुद्धा पूजयामास राघवः ॥
Then, while going to Panchavati, Rama,
the delight of the Raghus, met on the
way a vulture of great body and terrible
prowess.
