Having brought that car Pushpaka, adorned with flowers and having
stationed himself at a distance, Bibhishana the lord of Rakshasas, being
incited to hurry on, humbly and with folded hands, spoke unto Rama,
saying, "What shall I do, O Raghava?" Hearing those words the highly
powerful Raghava, in the presence of Lakshmana, gave vent to the
following accents out of affection--"All these monkeys and bears have
brought about the accomplishment of my work with great care. Do thou,
satisfy them, O Bibhishana, with diverse jewels and riches. With these
and thee, I conquered the city of Lanka, lord of Rakshasas. They all
fought with a delighted heart, having renounced all fear of life and who
did never go away from the battle-field. Do thou, with a gift of riches
and jewel, make good the work of these monkeys and bears who encompassed
the accomplishment (of my end). Being honoured and delighted by thee
grateful, all these leading monkeys shall repair (to their respective
quarters). (If thou art found to be) sacrificing, self-controlled,
compassionate and (the just) collector of revenues, all shall be
attached unto thee. For this I do address you (thus). O lord of men, the
soldiers, disgusted, renounce that king who is void of all royal
accomplishments, and who uselessly slays soldiers in the conflict".
Being thus accosted by Rama, Bibhishana, with a distribution of jewels
and riches, honoured all those monkeys. And beholding all those leading
monkeys worshipped with jewels and riches Rama ascended that excellent
car, taking the bashful, and high-minded Vaidehi on his lap and
accompanied, by his powerful brother Lakshmana, a skilled bowman. And
being stationed on the car Kakutstha honouring all the monkeys, the
highly powerful Sugriva and Bibhishana, said--"O foremost of monkeys, ye
have performed a friendly service--it hath been appreciated by me--do ye
repair to your wished-for quarters. O Sugriva, thou, ever afraid of
impiety, hast performed all that a loving and well-wishing friend should
do. Do thou, encircled by thy army, proceed towards Kishkindha. Do thou,
O Bibhishana, live in thy kingdom, Lanka, conferred upon thee, by me.
Not even the celestials, headed by Indra shall be able to assail thee. I
wish to return to Ayodhya, the capital of my father's (kingdom). I wish
to obtain your permission (and for this) I have invited you all". Being
thus addressed by Rama, all the leading monkeys bears as well as the
Rakshasa Bibhishana said with folded hands--"We wish all to go to
Ayodhya. Do thou take us. We shall all range with delight at forests and
gardens. Beholding thee installed and bowing unto Kaucalya, we shall
soon return to our respective homes, O foremost of kings". Being thus
accosted by the monkeys with Bibhishana, the virtuous-souled Rama, spoke
unto them and Sugriva and Bibhishana, saying--"Dearer than the dear, I
shall attain to, when returning my city, along with you all, I shall
enjoy in the company of all my friends and relatives. O Sugriva, do thou
soon ascend the car along with the monkeys. Do thou ascend too, O
Bibhishana, lord of Rakshasas, with all thy courtiers". Thereupon
ascended that celestial car _Pushpaka_, Sugriva, greatly delighted with
the monkeys and Bibhishana, with his courtiers. And they all having got
up, the excellent car, of Kuvera at the command of Raghava, rose up in
the welkin. And in that car coursing at will and drawn by effulgent
ganders, Rama greatly delighted appeared like Kuvera (himself). And all
the monkeys, bears and the highly powerful Rakshasas sat in that
celestial car unobstructed and at their pleasure.
SECTION CXXV.
Being commanded by Rama, that excellent car, drawn by ganders, with a
huge noise, rose high up in the welkin. And casting his looks on all
sides, Rama, the descendant of Raghus, spake unto Sita, the daughter of
the king of Mithila, having a moon-like countenance, saying,--"O
Vaidehi, do thou behold Lanka, situate on the summit of the mount
Chitrakuta, resembling that of Kailaca and constructed by _Vicwakarma_.
And behold, O Sita, that huge arena of battle, bathed in the blood and
flesh of the monkeys and Rakshasas. Do thou behold, O thou having
expansive eyes, Ravana, the lord of Rakshasas, the repressor of people
and who obtained a boon, lying there, slain by me on thy account.
Kumbhakarna was slain there, the night-ranger Prahasta, as well, and
Dumraksha, were slain by the monkey Hanuman. Bidyutmali was slain there
by the high-souled Sushena--and Indrajit, the son of Ravana, was slain
there in the encounter, by Lakshmana. The Rakshasa named Bikata was
slain there by Angadi--and Birupaksha, hard to look at and Mahaparsha
and Mahodara. And the powerful Akampana was slain (there) and all other
Rakshasas--Trishira, Alikaya, Devantaka and Narantaka--and the two
leading and powerful Rakshasas, mad after conflict--the sons of
Kumbhakarna--Nikumbha and Kumbha, Bajradanstra, Danstra and many other
Rakshasas were slain and the irrepressible Makaraksha was slain (there)
by me in the conflict. Akampana was slain--and the powerful Sonitaksha.
And Yupaksha and Prajangha were destroyed (there) in the great conflict.
The grim-visaged Rakshasa Viddutsjmha was slain there--and Yajnasatru
and the highly powerful Suptaghna. (And there was slain) Suryasatru and
Brahmasatru. (And there bewailed for Ravana) his spouse Mandodari,
surrounded by his thousand other wives. O thou having an excellent
countenance, do thou behold the descending place of the ocean, where I
spent the night after crossing the deep for thee. O thou having
expansive eyes, for thee, this difficult construction of the bridge was
made by me over the deep by the help of Nala. Do thou, O Vaidehi, behold
the unagitated deep--the abode of Varuna, appearing as if without the
other end, roaring and abounding in conchs and pearl oysters. O
Maithili, do thou behold the golden mount, which rose above the deep for
affording a resting place unto Hanuman. And on the bank of this ocean I
halted with my soldiers. And here Mahadeva, the lord of the celestials,
was propitiated with me. It behoveth thee to behold this descending
place of the high-souled Ocean, known as _Setubandha_,[488] worshipped
of the three worlds, highly sacred and destroying even the worst sin.
There, Bibhishana, the king of Rakshasas first came to me. Do thou
behold, O Sita, Kishkindha, having beautiful gardens, the pleasant city
of Sugriva, where Vali was slain by me". And beholding the city of
Kishkindha, ruled over by Vali, Sita, incited by her love, addressed
Rama, with worthy words, saying--"O king, I wish to repair to Ayodhya
thy capital with thee, in the company of Tara, the dear wife of Sugriva,
as well as of the wives of other leading monkeys". Being thus addressed
by Vaidehi Raghava replied--saying, "this shall be done" and getting at
Kishkindha he stopped the car. And having beheld the car stationed he
spoke unto Sugriva, saying--"O foremost of monkeys, do thou speak unto
all the leading monkeys that they may go to Ayodhya accompanied by their
wives. O thou of great strength--they may all go with Sita. Do thou
hurry them on, O Sugriva. We shall (soon) go, O thou the lord of
monkeys". Being thus addressed by Rama, of unmitigated prowess--the
beautiful lord of monkeys, encircled by them, entered speedily the inner
apartment and beholding Tara there, said--"O dear, at the command of
Raghava and the kind desire of Sita, do thou soon go, taking with thee
the wives of all the high-souled monkeys. We shall see Ayodhya and the
wives of Dacaratha". Hearing the words of Sugriva, Tara, having a
perfectly beautiful person, assembling all the wives of the monkeys,
said--"You have been ordered by Sugriva to repair (to Ayodhya) with the
monkeys;--to behold Ayodhya, is also a dear object of mine. (I shall
behold) Rama enter the city with the citizens and villagers and the
wealth and riches of the wives of Dacaratha". Being thus commanded by
Tara, the wives of the monkeys, putting on all their ornaments and
circumambulating (her) ascended the car, with a view to behold Sita. And
beholding the car going up with them all, Raghava again spoke unto Sita,
near the mount Rishyamuka, saying,--"Do thou behold there, O Sita, the
huge and foremost mount Rishyamuka abounding in gold and various metals,
like unto clouds accompanied with lightnings. There I was joined by
Sugriva, the lord of monkeys. And there I entered into an agreement, O
Sita, for the destruction of Vali. And there is (the lake) Pampa
abounding in lilies and skirted by picturesque forest where separated
from thee, I bewailed piteously. And on its bank I beheld the pious
_Savari_. And there I slew _Kavandha_ and _Yoyanavahu_. Behold there, O
Sita, a beautiful tree, in Janasthana, where, O thou ever used to
luxuries, for thee, the highly powerful and energetic Yatayu, the
foremost of birds, was slain by Ravana. Do thou behold there, O thou of
a beautiful person, O thou of auspicious looks, our hermitage and the
beautiful cottage of leaves, wherefrom thou hadst been carried away by
force by the lord of Rakshasas. Do thou behold there the beautiful and
sacred river Godaveri having clear water and the hermitage of Agastya,
surrounded by plantain trees. Do thou behold there, O Vaidehi, the great
hermitage of _Sarabhanga_, where came the thousand-eyed, Sakra, the
subduer of enemies' cities. O worshipful dame, O thou having a middle
stature--amongst all those ascetics, thou beholdest, there lived Atri,
the lord of our family--resembling the fire of the Sun. There was slain
the huge-bodied Biradha by me. There thou didst behold, O Sita, the
female ascetic (the wife of Attri) ever performing pious observances.
There cometh in view, O thou having a beautiful person, the king of
mountains, Chitrakuta, where to propitiate me, came the son of Sumitra.
Behold the beautiful Yamuna, having picturesque forest on its bank and
the pleasant hermitage of Varadwaya. Behold there the sacred river
Ganges, dividing itself into three branches. Behold there the city of
Sringabera, where I made friendship with Guha. Behold there, O Sita, the
capital of my father. Do thou bow unto Ayodhya, O Vaidehi". Thereupon
all the monkeys and Rakshasas along with Bibhishana rose up delightedly
and saw the city. Thereupon the monkeys and Rakshasas beheld the city
abounding in white houses having spacious compartments, filled with
elephants and horses and looking like Amaravati, the capital of
Mahendra.
[488] This is still to be seen in the shape of a delapidated bridge near
_Rameswar_ a place of pilgrimage. Pilgrims go there Via Madura, a
district in South Madras. The Raja of Ramnud in whose Zemindari it
is situated is called Setupati.--T.
