Thereupon having placed her palms on his head Bharata, the enhancer of
Kaikeyi's joy, spoke unto his elder brother Rama, having truth for his
prowess, saying,--"Abiding by my mother's request thou didst confer this
kingdom upon me; I do return thee the kingdom thou didst give me. Like
unto a young one unable to carry a heavy burden thrown off by a powerful
bull I am unable to carry this huge burden (of the kingdom). I do
consider this kingdom infested with thieves, difficult to govern, as it
is difficult to re-construct a bridge broken down by a powerful current
of water. As an ass cannot follow the course of a horse and a crow
cannot follow that of a gander, so I am unable, O hero, O slayer of
foes, to follow thy footsteps. If a tree planted in the inner appartment
of a house, growing huge with a big trunk and many branches, is dried up
as soon it blossoms without bearing fruits, his object for whom it is
planted, becomes fruitless. And this simili, O thou of long-arms, shall
prove good in thee, if dost thou not, our master, govern us, O lord of
men, who are thy servants. Let the world, O Raghava, behold thee
installed (to-day) like unto the powerful mid-day Sun burning in
effulgence. Do thou sleep and rise up with the sound of stringed
instruments, womens' girdles and _Nupuras_ and charming songs. Do thou
govern the people as long as the solar system exists and as far as the
earth extends". Hearing the words of Bharata, Rama the conqueror of
enemies' cities, saying,--"So be it" sat on an excellent seat. Thereupon
at the command of Satrughna, expert, skilful and quick-handed barbers
gathered round Raghava. At first, Bharata, the highly powerful
Lakshmana, Sugriva the lord of monkeys, and Bibhishana the lord of
Rakshasas bathed. Thereupon shorn of his matted hairs, bathed, with
paste excellent garlands and precious clothes on, he appeared there
shining in grace. The valiant and graceful Satrughna, the upholder of
the dignity of Ikshwaku race, himself got ready the dresses for Rama and
Lakshmana. And all the high-minded wives of Dacaratha with their own
hands decked Sita with various charming (ornaments). Thereupon Kaucalya,
delighted and fond of her son, herself with great care, decorated the
wives of monkeys. Thereupon at the words of Satrughna, the charioteer by
name Sumantra got ready the perfectly beautiful car. And beholding that
celestial car, bright as the fire of the sun, stationed before him,
Rama, having long arms, the conqueror of enemies' cities, ascended it.
Sugriva and Hanuman, graceful like Mahendra, bathed, dressed in
celestial clothes and wearing excellent _Kundalas_, proceeded (to view
the city). And then went Sita and all the wives of Sugriva decorated
with all ornaments and wearing excellent _Kundalas_, anxious to behold
the city. All the ministers of king Dacaratha in Ayodhya began to hold
consultation respectfully with the priest. Asoka, Vijaya and Siddhartha,
with undivided mind, consulted with each other about the welfare of Rama
as well as that of the city. (Thereupon they ordered the servants)
saying,--"Do ye collect materials necessary for the auspicious
installation of the high-souled (Rama) worthy of being crowned with
victory". The priest and the ministers having ordered thus all speedily
issued out of the city to behold Rama. Like unto the thousand-eyed Indra
in his car drawn by horses the blameless Rama, seated in his car,
proceeded towards the excellent city. Bharata took up the reins,
Satrughna held the umbrella and Lakshmana began to fan him on the head
with _Chowries_. And Bibhishana, the lord of Rakshasas standing on one
side, took up the white _Chowrie_ shining like the second moon. There
was audible the sweet encomium of Rama chanted by the crowd of ascetics
in the sky, the celestials and the Marutas. Thereupon the highly
effulgent Sugriva, the foremost of monkeys, got up upon an elephant
named _Satrunyaya_ resembling a mountain. And riding nine thousand
elephants proceeded the monkeys assuming human shapes and adorned with
various ornaments. And with the music of conches and bugles that
foremost of men entered the city abounding in houses. (And the citizens)
beheld Raghava enter the city with a graceful person and seated in the
car. And they having bowed unto that descendant of Kakutstha were
welcomed by him. And they followed that high-souled one encircled by his
brothers. And surrounded by his courtiers, Brahmanas and subjects Rama
appeared beautiful like unto the Moon encircled by stars. And he went
proceeded by men who play on stringed instruments, by people with
_Karatal_ and Sustika in their hands and by men chanting delightedly
auspicious songs. Persons with Akshata and gold in their hands, kine,
girls, Brahmanas and persons with _Modaka_ in their hands went before
Rama. Thereupon before the ministers Rama began to describe the
friendship of Sugriva, the prowess of the Wind-god's son and the works
accomplished by the monkeys. And hearing of the works of the monkeys and
the prowess of the Rakshasas, the inhabitants of the city of Ayodhya
attained to astonishment. Having related thus (the works of the monkeys)
the graceful Rama encircled by the monkeys entered (the city of) Ayodhya
abounding in delighted and plump persons. Thereupon the citizens hoisted
up flags upon every house and he reached the picturesque abode of his
ancestors inhabited by the descendants of Ikshwaku. And having reached
and entered his ancestral palace and bowed unto Kaucalya, Sumitra and
Kaikeyi, the high-souled prince, the enhancer of the joy of the
descendants of Raghu, addressed Bharata the foremost of the pious, with
sweet words instinct with meaning, saying,--"Do thou set apart for
Sugriva my huge and excellent palace abounding in pearls and
_Vaidurjas_". Hearing those words, Bharata, having truth for his
prowess, taking Sugriva by the hand, conducted him to the palace. And
commanded by Satrughna, (servants) speedily entered (that palace) with
oil, lamps, bedsteads and beddings. Thereupon the highly effulgent
younger brother of Raghava spoke unto Sugriva, saying,--"Do thou, O
lord, order some (to bring water) for Rama's installation". And Sugriva
conferred upon four leading monkeys four golden jars crested with
diverse jewels and said to them,--"Do ye so conduct, O monkeys, that ye
may return by the dawn with the jars filled with the water of the four
oceans". Being thus addressed by the high-souled (Sugriva) the monkeys
resembling the elephants speedily rose up in the welkin like unto
quick-coursing vultures. Jambavana, Hanuman, the monkey Vegadarshi and
Rishabha brought the jars filled with water from five hundred rivers.
Sushena, gifted with prowess, brought that jar crested with gems, filled
with water from the Eastern Ocean. And Rishabha speedily brought water
from the Southern Ocean. And Gabaya brought, from the great Western
Ocean in that golden jar, water perfumed with the fragrance of red
sandal and camphor. And the virtuous-souled Wind-god's son, gifted with
all accomplishments and the prowess of Garuda and Wind-god, brought,
speedily from the Northern Ocean, water in that jewelled jar. And
beholding water thus brought by the leading monkeys for the installation
of Rama, Satrughna, with his ministers, communicated that unto the
leading priests and friends. Thereupon the self-controlled Vasishtha,
striken in years, along with other Brahmanas placed Rama with Sita on a
jewelled seat. Vasishtha, Vijaya, Javali, Katyayana, Goutama and
Bamadeva, sprinkled that foremost of men, with clear and fragrant water
as Vasus did the thousand eyed Vasava. (He was then sprinkled by) the
_Rittigas_, Brahmanas, maidens ministers, soldiers and the merchants all
delighted. (There-upon) with the juice of _Oshadhis_[497] (he was
sprinkled by) the celestials stationed in the sky, the deities presiding
over the four quarters and all other celestials collected. And having
placed him on a seat crested with various jewels in the arena decorated
with gold, various jewels and rich parapharnalia, (he placed on his
head) the jewelled crown made by Brahma, brilliant and with which in the
days of yore Manu and other kings, born in his race, were installed. And
being decked by the high-souled Vasishtha with that crown, Raghava was
afterwards dressed with the celestial garments by the _Rittigas_.[498]
And Satrughna held the white and excellent umbrella and Sugriva the lord
of monkeys took the white _Chowrie_. And Bibhishana the lord of
Rakshasas took up another _Chowrie_ resembling the moon. And the wind
commanded by Vasava conferred upon Raghava, a garland of a hundred
golden lotuses, shining in their native lustre. And the wind commanded
by Sakra conferred upon that lord of men a jewelled garland crested with
diverse gems. The intelligent and worthy Rama being installed the
celestials and the Gandharvas sang and the Apsaras danced. The earth was
filled with crops, the trees with fruits and the flowers were fragrant
on the occassion of Raghava's installation. And that foremost of men
conferred upon the twice-born ones one million of horses, a hundred
thousand cows and a hundred thousand bulls. And Raghava again conferred
upon the Brahmanas thirty _crores_ of golden coins and diverse costly
ornaments and clothes. Thereupon that lord of men conferred upon Sugriva
a celestial garland brilliant like the rays of the Sun and crested with
gold and jewels. And he, gifted with intelligence, conferred upon
Angada, Vali's son, two _Angadas_[499] brilliant as the rays of the moon
and made of _Baidurja_. And Rama conferred upon Sita an excellent pearl
necklace crested with precious jems, celestial clothes and various
excellent ornaments. And taking off the necklace from her person
Vaidehi, the daughter of king Janaka, conferred it upon the Wind-god's
son remembering the services (rendered by him) and cast her looks again
and again upon her lord and the monkeys. And beholding that (Rama)
capable of reading the gestures, spoke unto the daughter of king Janaka,
saying--"O fortunate and beautiful lady, do thou confer this necklace
upon him with whom thou art pleased". Thereupon the lotus-eyed (Sita)
conferred that upon the Wind god's son. And Hanuman, the foremost of
monkeys, in whom perpetually exist, energy, forgiveness, fame,
skillfullness, prowess, humility, tactics, manliness, valiance and
intellect, appeared with that necklace like a mountain beautified with
the rays of the moon and white clouds. And all other elderly and leading
monkeys were respectively honoured with clothes and ornaments. And being
honoured by Rama of unwearied actions with enough of jewels and other
wished-for objects, Bibhishana, Sugriva, Hanuman, Jambavan and other
leading monkeys, delighted, returned to their respective habitations.
Thereupon, the lord of earth and the slayer of foes conferred, all
wished-for things, upon Dwivida, Mainda and Nila. And beholding (the
installation of Rama) the high-souled monkeys, taking leave of the lord
of earth, went to Kishkindha. And beholding the inauguration of Rama,
Sugriva, the foremost of monkeys, honored by Rama, repaired to the city
of Kishkindha. And having obtained his own kingdom, the greatly famous
and virtuous-souled Bibhishana, with all the Rakshasas, repaired to the
city of Lanka. Having slain his foes, the highly generous and glorious
Rama, ruled in great delight, the kingdom extending all over the earth.
And Rama, fond of the pious, spoke unto Lakshmana, conversant with
piety; saying--"O thou conversant with piety, do thou with me and
four-fold forces, govern this kingdom, ruled by our predecessors. Like
unto our ancestors do thou now carry the burden of an associate in the
throne". When the son of Sumitra did not accept the heir apparentship
albeit solicited earnestly again and again, the high-souled (Rama)
conferred upon Bharata that dignity. And that son of king performed
various sacrifices such as _Paundarika_,[500] _Aswamedha_,[501]
_Bajimedha_ and otheИсточники и права
