AYODHYAKANDA
.67
Having ordered the anointment of Raghava,
the great king, of great fame, entered
the lovely apartments of Kaikeyi, like the
moon entering the sky covered with white
clouds and with Rahu present in it.
स वृद्धस्तरुणीं भार्या प्राणेभ्योऽपि गरीयसीम् ।
अपापः पापसंकल्पां ददर्श धरणीतले ॥
That old and sinless king saw his young
wife, dearer to him than even his own life
( lying ) on the floor with a cruel resolve.
परिमृश्य च पाणिभ्यामुवाच वनितामिदम् ॥
Stroking her with his hands, he said this
to his youthful wife :
आत्मनो जीवितेनापि ब्रूहि यन्मनसेच्छसि ।
करिष्यामि तव प्रीति सुकृतेनापि ते शपे ॥
Tell me what you desire in your mind.
With my own life, (if need be ) I will do
your pleasure. I swear it to
you on all
my good deeds.
यं मुहूर्तमपश्यंस्तु न जीवयमहं ध्रुवम् ।
तेन रामेण कैकेयि शपे ते वचनक्रियाम् ॥
