THE RAMAYANA
"This is the auspicious month of Chitra,
holy and with forests in flower. Let
everything necessary for the installation of
Rama as Yuvaraja be made ready."
ततस्सुमन्त्रं द्युतिमान् राजा वचनमब्रवीत् ।
रामः कृतात्मा भवता शीघ्रमानीयतामिति ॥
Then, the resplendent king spoke these
words to Sumantra: "Let Rama, the
perfect soul, be brought quickly by you."
स राममानयाञ्चक्रे रथेन रथिनां वरम् ॥
And he brought in a chariot Rama, the
foremost of owners of chariots.
अलङ्कृतमिवात्मानमादर्शतलसंस्थितम् ।
सतं सस्मितमाभाष्य पुत्रं पुत्रवतां वरः ॥
उवाचेदं वचो राजा देवेन्द्रमिव काश्यपः ॥
The king, foremost of those possessing
sons, after greeting with a smile his son,
richly adorned and appearing like his own
self reflected in a mirror, uttered these
words, even as Kasyapa addressed Devendra :
ज्येष्ठायामसि मे पत्न्यां सदृश्यां सदृशः सुतः ।
उत्पन्नस्त्वं गुणश्रेष्ठो मम रामात्मजः प्रियः ॥
