THE RAMAYANA
wearing matted locks and deer skin. Let
Bharata rule over this earth from this city
of the Kosalas.
एतत्कुरु नरेन्द्रस्य वचनं रघुनन्दन ।
सत्येन महता राम तारयस्व नरेश्वरम् ॥
O delight of the Raghus, fulfil the king's
promise. And by making his words true,
save your father, the best of men."
तदप्रियममित्रघ्नो वचनं मरणोपमम् ।
श्रुत्वा न विव्यथे रामः कैकेयीं चेदमब्रवीत् ॥
Hearing these unpleasant and death-like
words, Ramt, the vanquisher of foes, was
not hurt. And he said thus to Kaikeyi :
एवमस्तु गमिष्यामि वनं वस्तुमहं त्वितः ।
जटाजिनधरो राज्ञः प्रतिज्ञामनुपालयन् ॥
"Let it be so. I will go hence to the
forest, wearing matted locks and deer skin,
to keep the promise of the king.
अलीकं मानसं त्वेकं हृदयं दहतीव मे ।
स्वयं यन्नाह मां राजा भरतस्याभिषेचनम् ॥
But a mental disquiet burns as it were
my heart, that the king did not himself
tell me of the anointing of Bharata.
