AYODHYAKANDA
55
He always asks of the citizens about their
welfare as he would of his own relations.
When people are in misery, he is intensely
distressed.
उत्सवेषु च सर्वेषु पितेव परितुष्यति ।
शक्तस्त्रैलोक्यमध्येको भोक्तुं किनु महीमिमाम् ॥
On all joyous occasions he rejoices like
a father. He can by himself govern all the
three worlds. What then of this earth ?
राममिन्दीवरश्यामं सर्वशत्रुनिबर्हण ।
पश्यामो यौवराज्यस्थं तव राजोत्तमात्मजम् ॥
O! best of kings, we would like to see
installed as Yuvaraja, your son, Rama, dark
as a blue lotus and the vanquisher of all foes."
तेषामञ्जलिपद्मानि प्रगृहीतानि सर्वशः ।
प्रतिगृह्य वचो राजा ब्राह्मणानिमब्रवीत् ॥
All of them held up their lotus-like
hands, clasped in reverence. Assenting to
their words, the king said this to the
Brahmins :
चैत्रश्श्रीमानयं मासः पुण्यः पुष्पितकाननः ।
यौवराज्याय रामस्य सर्वमेवोपकल्प्यताम् ॥
