Hearing those excellent words uttered by Raghava, Maheswara (Siva) spoke
far more important words--"O thou having lotus-eyes, O thou having huge
arms and a spacious breast, O thou the slayer of enemies, O thou the
fore most of the pious--it is a good fortune that this hath been done by
thee. It is by good fortune, O Rama, the dreadful and increasing
darkness--the fear of all people--Ravana, hath been removed by thee in
the encounter. Consoling the poor Bharata and the famed Kaucalya,
beholding Kaikeyi and Sumitra the mother of Lakshmana, obtaining the
kingdom of Ayodhya, pleasing all thy friends, establishing the prestige
of thy family, thou of great strength, performing horse-sacrifices,
attaining fair fame and conferring riches upon the Brahmins do thou
repair to heaven. This king Dacaratha stationed on the car is thy
father. He was thy superior on this earth, O Kakutstha. Obtaining thee
as his son, that graceful (king) hath repaired to the region of Indra.
Do thou bow unto him with thy brother Lakshmana". Hearing the words of
Mahadeva, Raghava, along with Lakshmana, bowed unto their father who was
seated on the top of the car. He with Lakshmana beheld their father
shining in his own effulgence and wearing an unsullied cloth. Thereupon
beholding his son dearer than his life, attaining great delight (in
consequence thereof) placing him on his lap and embracing him with his
arms, the great king Dacaratha, having long arms and seated on an
excellent seat in the car, said--"I am now in heaven and am equal with
the celestials, but without thee, O Rama, I do not like it--this is
true--I do swear by thee. O thou the foremost of those skilled in
speech, I have still in my mind the words which were uttered by Kaikeyi
for sending thee away to the woods. Beholding thee all well and
embracing thee with Lakshmana I am now shorn of grief like unto the sun,
devoid of dues. I have been emancipated, O my son, through thee--a good
and high-souled son, as the virtuous-souled Brahmana Kapala was by
Asthabakra. O gentle one, I have heard from the celestials, (that thou
art) the excellent Purusha in the guise (of a man) for the destruction
of Ravana. Blessed is Kaucalya, O Rama, who shall be greatly delighted,
on beholding thee, the slayer of enemies, gone home from the forest.
Blessed are those men, O Rama, who shall behold thee installed in the
city as the king of the world. I wish to behold thee reconciled with
Bharata, devoted powerful, pure and performing pious observances. O
gentle one, thou hast spent fourteen years in the forest with Sita and
Lakshmana. The term of thy exile is over--thy promise hath been
fulfilled; and slaying Ravana, in the conflict thou hast pleased the
celestials. Thou hast performed a mighty deed and attained to excellent
fame, O slayer of enemies; and placed in charge of thy kingdom do thou
with thy brothers attain a long life". The king speaking thus Rama spoke
unto him with folded hands saying,--"O thou conversant with piety, do
thou be propitiated with Bharata and Kaikeyi. Thou didst imprecate
Kaikeyi, saying,--"I renounce thee with thy son"--may not that dreadful
curse visit her and her son". Saying "so be it" unto Rama with folded
hands and embracing Lakshmana the great king said to him:--"O thou
conversant with piety and fame on this earth, thou shall attain to
heaven and excellent state there. O thou the enhancer of Sumitra's
joy--do thou attend upon Rama; may good betide thee; Rama is ever
engaged in the welfare of all beings. All these celestials headed by
Indra, Siddhas and Great saints, bowing unto this high-souled and
excellent Purusha, worship him. Rama, the subduer of foes, is the
indescribable and undecaying letter _Brahma_, which has, been described
(in the Vedas) as the heart and secret of the celestials. For serving
him along with Sita, the daughter of king of Videha, thou hast attained
piety and excellent fame". Addressing Lakshmana thus, the king spoke
unto his daughter-in-law, who was standing before him with folded hands,
saying:--"It doth not behove thee, O Vaidehi, to be enraged (with Rama)
for renouncing thee; for purifying thee this was done by him ever
wishing thy welfare. What thou hast performed, O daughter, to establish
the purity of thy character, is hard to perform. What thou hast done,
shall glorify all other females. Though there is no necessity for giving
thee any instruction as regards thy duty towards thy husband-still I
should say that he is thy great god". Having thus instructed his two
sons and Sita, he repaired, in his car, to the region of Indra. Having
advised his two sons along with Sita, ascending the car, and shining in
his effulgence, that excellent king, greatly delighted, repaired to the
region of the king of celestials.
SECTION CXXII.
Dacaratha having repaired, Mahendra greatly delighted spoke unto
Raghava, stationed there with folded hands, saying:--"O Rama, O foremost
of men, this our presence here, must not be fruitless, we are
pleased--do thou ask for what thou wishest". Being thus accosted by the
high-souled Mahendra--delighted, Raghava spoke, with a pleased heart--"O
lord of the celestials, O thou the foremost of those skilled in speech,
if thou art propitiated with me, I shall pray for (my
wished-for-object); do thou grant it. Let all these highly powerful
monkeys, who have been despatched to the abode of Death, on my account,
regaining their life, stand up. O thou the conferror of honour, I wish
to see all those delighted monkeys, who were separated from their wives
and children on my account. O Purandara, do thou revive all these heroic
and powerful (monkeys) who did not care for death, and who worked hard
and were distressed (for me). May all those, by thy favour, who were
ever devoted unto me and did not care for death (even) regain their
life--this is the boon I pray for. O conferror of honour, I wish to see
all these monkeys, _Golangulas_ and bears, pale and hurt, unheart and
gifted with strength and prowess like before. Let there be flowers,
fruits and roots, even out of season wherever these monkeys shall
live--and let rivers there be full of clear water". Hearing those words
of the high-souled Raghava Mahendra replied with words instinct with
delight--"O my boy, O foremost of the Raghus, mighty is the boon thou
hast prayed for--my words shall never be falsified, so let them be be
fulfilled. Let all those bears and Golangulas rise up who were slain in
the conflict by Rakshasas and had their heads and arms severed. Let the
monkeys gifted with their pristine strength and prowess rise up unhurt
and healthy as if after the end of sleep. And being reconciled with
their friends, relatives and kinsmen let them attain to excellent joy. O
thou the wielder of a huge bow, all the trees shall be filled with
flowers and fruits and all the rivers shall be filled with water even
out of season (wherever they shall live)". Thereupon all these leading
monkeys who had their persons wounded but now healed up, rose up like
those asleep. And all those monkeys were greatly wondered, saying, "What
is it?" And beholding Kakutstha of accomplished, end and eulogizing Rama
and Lakshmana, all the celestials, greatly delighted, said,--"Do thou, O
king, repair to Ayodhya--despatch all the monkeys--console the famed
Maithilee, ever devoted unto thee--behold thy brother Bharata observing
ascetic vows in consequence of thy grief--and the high-souled Satrughna
and all thy mothers, O slayer of foes. And being Installed on the throne
do thou conduce to the joy of all citizens". Having thus addressed Rama
along with Lakshmana, the thousand-eyed Deity, delighted, went away
along with the celestials, in their cars resembling the Sun (in
brilliance). And saluting all the celestials, Kakutstha, with his
brother Lakshmana, ordered the encampment of the army. Thereupon that
famous and well-pleased huge army of the monkeys protected by Rama and
Lakshmana, appeared resplendant on all sides like unto a night
beautified with the rays of the Moon.
SECTION CXXIII.
Rama having spent that night happily and risen up the next morning,
Bibhishana, chanting his victory, spoke unto that slayer of foes, with
folded hands, saying:--"Here are various articles for bathing, pastes,
clothes, ornaments, sandal and various excellent garlands. And here are
present women having eyes like lotuses and conversant with the art of
decking. Let them perform their duty, O Raghava". Being thus accosted
Kakutstha replied unto Bibhishana, saying:--"Do thou invite all these
monkeys beaded by Sugriva to bathe. The virtuous-souled Bharata, having
huge arms and ever used to comforts, is greatly distressed on my
account. Without Bharata the son of Kaikeyi, ever performing pious
rites, I do not value bathing or these clothes and ornaments. Do thou so
manage that we may go to the city of Ayodhya speedily. For difficult is
the way leading to Ayodhya". Being thus accosted Bibhiskana relied unto
Kakutstha,--"O son of the lord of earth, may good betide thee, I shall
soon take thee to that city. The car _Puskpaka_ resembling the Sun,
belonging to my brother Kuvera, was brought by the powerful Ravana. O
thou of unequalled prowess, that celestial and excellent car, going
everywhere at will, since the destruction of Ravana in battle, is ready
for thee. And that car resembling the cloud is in the city of Lanka, in
which thou shalt, relieved of thy anxiety, repair to Ayodhya. If I am
worthy of being favoured by thee, if dost thou remember any
accomplishment of mine--if thou hast any friendship for me, do thou, O
wise one, wait here with thy brother Lakshmana and spouse Vaidehi till I
accomplish all my desires by worshipping thee. And then thou shalt go
(to Ayodhya) O Rama. I shall worship thee with great delight and do
thou, O Rama, with thy friends and army, accept that adoration. O Rama,
out of love, honor, and brotherly feeling, I do crave thy permission. I
am a servant I cannot command thee". Being thus addressed, Rama replied
unto Bibhishaua in the presence of all the Rakshasas and monkeys,
saying:--"I have been worshipped by thee, O hero, with thy excellent
counsels, with thy earnest endeavours and with thy great friendship. Do
not think, O lord of Rakshasas, that I do not comply with thy
request--my heart hastens me to behold my brother Bharata, who, to take
me back, did come to the mount Chitrakuta, who laid low his crown at my
feet and whose words I did not keep. (I am anxious to see) Kaucalya,
Sumitra, Kaikeyi, with my friends, citizens and villagers. Do thou
regard me, O Bibhishana, O gentle one, as worshipped. O friend do thou
be not angry--I request thee. Do thou speedily being the car for me, O
lord of Rakshasas--my work is done--how can I wish to live here long".
Being thus addressed by Rama, Bibhishana the lord of Rakshasas, speedily
brought the car resembling the Sun.
Thereupon arrived there the car adorned all over with gold paintings,
altars crested with _Baidurja_ jewels, having upper rooms, silvered all
over, adorned with white flags and flagstaffs, beautified with gilt
lotuses, adorned with golden houses, covered with a network of girdles,
having windows made of pearls and jems, girt on all sides with a net of
bells, giving forth melodious sound, resembling the summit of the mount
Meru, constructed by _Vicwakarma_ (the architect of the celestials)
adorned with huge apartments beautified with silver and pearls--having
its base crested with crystal, containing excellent seats made of
_Baidurja_, abounding in valuable coverlets and immense wealth,
incapable of being broken down and coursing at will. And communicating
unto Rama (the arrival of that car) Bibhishana waited there. Beholding
that flowery car, coursing at will and resembling a huge mountain, Rama,
of a generous spirit, along with Saumitri, attained to an excess of
astonishment.
