THE RAMAYANA
Lakshmana should be
asked of his
welfare, as from me. For Lakshmana is
always gentle and pure and competent and
dear to Rama.
यथा हि वानरश्रेष्ठ दुःखक्षयकरो भवेत् ।
त्वमस्मिन् कार्यनिर्योगे प्रमाणं हरिसत्तम ॥
0 best of monkeys, you are my sole
refuge in the conduct of this business so.
that Rama should end my woes.
राघवस्त्वत्समारम्भान्मयि यत्नपरो भवेत् ।
इदं ब्रूयाश्च मे नाथं शूरं रामं पुनः पुनः ॥
Through this attempt of yours, Raghava
should bestir himself. Tell this to my heroic
lord Rama, again and again :
जीवितं धारयिष्यामि मासं दशरथात्मज ।
ऊर्ध्व मासान्न जीवेयं सत्येनाहं ब्रवीमि ते ॥
'O Rama, son of Dasaratha, I shall
keep up my life for a month. Beyond
that month, I will not live. I tell this to
you with an oath.'
ततो वस्त्रगतं मुक्त्वा दिव्यं चूडामणि शुभम् ।
प्रदेयो राघवायेति सीता हनुमते ददौ ॥
