THE RAMAYANA
'I do consider this animal to be that
very Rakshasa Maricha. O Raghava,
Lord of the earth, there can not be on
earth a deer like this which is SO
beautifully bejewelled. This is indeed an
illusion. There is no doubt."
एवं ब्रुवाणं काकुत्स्थं प्रतिवार्य शुचिस्मिता ।
उवाच सीता संहृष्टा चर्मणा हृतचेतना ॥
Cutting short Lakshmana who
spoke
thus, Sita smiling innocently, well pleased
and with her mind captivated by the
skin (of the deer), said :
आनयैनं महाबाहो क्रीडार्थ नो भविष्यति ॥
"O mighty-armed one, bring it. It will
serve for us to play with.
समाप्तवनवासानां राज्यस्थानां च नः पुनः ।
अन्तःपुरावभूषार्थो मृग एष भविष्यति ॥
To us who return to our kingdom again
after completing our forest-life, this deer
will be an ornament of the inner apartments.
भरतस्यार्यपुत्रस्य श्वश्रूणां मम च प्रभो ।
मृगरूपमिदं व्यक्तं विस्मयं जनयिष्यति ॥
