BALAKANDA
47
The son of Jamadagni, with his valour
overpowered by the superior effulgence (of
Rama), became stunned and spoke slowly
in halting tones to the lotus-petal-eyed
Rama :
अक्षयं मधुहन्तारं जानामि त्वां सुरोत्तमः ।
धनुषोऽस्य परामर्शात् स्वस्ति तेऽस्तु परन्तप ॥
"From the way in which thou hast handled
this bow, I know thee to be the
Foremost of Celestials, the Indestructible,
and the Slayer of the demon Madhu. Hail
to thee! O vanquisher of foes.
न चेयं मम काकुत्स्थ व्रीडा भवितुमर्हति ।
त्वया त्रैलोक्यनाथेन यदहं विमुखीकृतः ॥
Nor is this, O Kakutstha ! a shame to
me, that, by thee, Lord of the three
worlds, I should be humbled.
शरमप्रति : राम मोक्तुमर्हसि सुव्रत ।
शरमोक्षे गमिष्यामि महेन्द्रं पर्वतोत्तमम् ॥
O Rama! of noble vows, it behoveth
thee to release this peerless arrow. On its
release, I shall proceed to Mahendra the
best of mountains."
