THE RAMAYANA
Who teases playfully with the tip of his
finger a venomous black serpent which
lies near, coiled and inoffensive ?
कः कालपाशमासज्य कण्ठे मोहान्न बुध्यते ॥
Who, having tied the death-noose round
his neck, does not know it because of
his confusion of mind?"
-
इति भ्रातुर्वचः श्रुत्वा क्रुद्धस्य च विशेषतः ।
ततः शूर्पणखा वाक्यं सवाप्पमिदमब्रवीत् ॥
On hearing thus the words of her highly
angered brother, Surpanakha then told him
thus with tears:
तरुणौ रूपसंपन्नौ सुकुमारौ महाबलौ ।
पुत्रौ दशरथस्यास्तां भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ॥
"To Dasaratha, there are two sons, the
brothers Rama and Lakshmana, tender,
endowed with
good form, beautiful
and of great strength.
तरुणी रूपसंपन्ना सर्वाभरणभूषिता ।
दृष्टा तत्र मया नारी तयोर्मध्ये सुमध्यमा ॥
Between them, a young damsel, tender,
with a fine waist
possessed of beauty,
and adorned with all ornaments was also
seen by me.
