"When Rama had departed, Dacaratha's son the illustrious Rama, of serene
soul, made over the bow unto the hands of Varuna of immeasurable
strength. Then saluting the saints headed by Vasishtha, Rama, the
descendant of Raghu, seeing his father stupified, addressed him,
saying-- "Now that Jamadagni's son Rama hath gone away, let the
four-fold forces maintained by thee as their lord, march in the
direction of Ayodhya." Hearing Rama's words, king Dacaratha embraced his
son with his arms, and smelt Raghava's crown; and hearing that Rama had
gone, the monarch became exceedingly delighted,--and considered himself
and his son as having attained a second birth. And he urged on his army,
and speedily arrived at the city, graced round with standards bearing
pennons, and lovely to behold, and resounding with the sounds of
trumpets, with its high-ways watered, and beauteous, and sprinkled
around with flowers, crowded with citizens looking cheerful on account
of the king's approach, bearing auspicious articles in their hands, and
beautified with the vast concourse of people. And receivced by the
citizens as well as the regenerate ones inhabiting the city coming
forward a long way, and followed by his graceful sons, the handsome
Majesty of ilustrious name, entered his own dear residence, like unto
the Himavat. And entertained by his own relatives with all objects of
enjoyment, the monarch rejoiced exceedingly. And Kaucalya and Sumitra
and the slender waisted Kaikeyi, together with other wives of the king,
were busy, receiving the brides, with the necessary ceremonies. And the
royal spouses received the exalted Sita and the famous Urmila and both
the daughters of Kucadhwaja, graced with silken apparel, with _homas_
performed and blessings invoked, on their behalf. And having paid
reverence at the abodes of the gods, and rendered homage unto those that
deserved the same, the daughters of the kings, well pleased, in private,
took joy with their husbands. And having attained brides, and arms, with
wealth and friends, those foremost of men, engaged in ministering unto
their father.
And once on a time that descendant of Raghu, king Dacaratha addressed
Bharata, saying,--"O son, this son of the king of the Kekayas thy uncle,
Yudhajit stayeth here, that hero, having come to take thee over." And
hearing these words of Dacaratha, Kaikeyi's son, Bharata, prepared for
the journey, together with Satrughna. And having greeted his father, and
Rama of unflagging energy, and his mothers, that foremost of men, the
heroic (Bharata) departed with Satrughna. And having Bharata as well as
Satrughna, the heroic Yudhajit, with a delighted heart, entered his own
city; and his father rejoiced exceedingly. And on Bharata having
departed, Rama and the exceedingly mighty Lakshmana, tended their sire
resembling a celestial. And paying the utmost regard to the command of
his father, Rama discharged all the duties of the city, having for his
object the pleasure or welfare (of the citizens). And needfully
rendering every service to his mothers, he on proper occasions observed
the duties pertaining to his superiors. And Dacaratha was exceedingly
delighted; as also the Brahmanas, and the traders, and the inhabitants
generally, at the conduct and behaviour of Rama. And Rama having truth
for prowess, by virtue of his excellence appeared unto every one the
most meritorious of (Dacaratha's son's) like unto the self create
Himself unto all being. And in the company of Sita, the wise Rama,
bending his mind to Sita with his heart dedicated unto her, passed many
a season in delight. And Rama's beloved Sita, as having been bestowed
upon him by his sire, by her loveliness, and her perfections as much as
by her loveliness, went on enhancing his joy. And her lord came to
excercise a double influence on her heart. And by her own heart, the
daughter of Janaka, Mithila's lord, resembling a goddess in grace, and
like unto Sree (goddess of wealth) herself in loveliness, completely
read his inmost sentiments. And experiencing delight, Rama, receiving
the Rajarshi's daughter, exercising her own will--the excellent
princess-- looked graceful, even like the lord Vishnu the chief of
celestials on being joined with Sree.
AYODHYAKANDAM
SECTION I.
When Bharata set out for the home of his maternal uncle, he
affectionately took with him the sinless Satrughna ever repressing his
passions.[101] And there he abode with his brother, being ministered
unto in every respect and tended by his maternal uncle, Acwapati, with
all the fondness of a father.[102] Albeit thus staying, with every
ministration extended towards them as much as they could wish, yet those
heroic brothers failed not to remember the aged long Dacaratha. And the
puissant king also on his part remembered his sons away from home,
Bharata and Satrughna, resembling the mighty Indra and Varuna. All those
four chiefs of men were dear unto him even as four hands issuing from
his own body. Yet among them all, the highly energetic Rama was the
favorite of his sire. He was the foremost of all in every virtue, like
unto Sayambhu's[103] self in the esteem of creation. Solicited by the
celestials wishing for the destruction of Ravana, he, who is the eternal
Vishnu, was born as Rama in the world of men. And with that son of
immeasurable energy, Kaucalya looked graceful, even as Aditi, with that
foremost of the celestials, the weilder of the thunder-bolt. He was
furnished with grace, and possessed of prowess; and he did not seek for
defects in others in the midst of virtues. That son of Kaucalya was
incomparable on earth and in worth fully equal to Dacaratha himself. He
was aye of quiescent soul; and always preluded his speech with an
amiable phrase; and although he might be addressed in a harsh manner,
yet he returned no corresponding reply. He was gratified even with a
solitary instance of benefit; and from freedom of soul did not remember
an hundred injuries. In the intervals of martial exercises, he always
discoursed with persons of character, or wise men, or the aged, or the
virtuous. He was intelligent, and sweet-speeched, and spoke first (to
visitors,) and used grateful words, and was possessed of prowesss,
withal not proud of his mighty native virtue. He never spoke an untruth;
and he was learned; and he rendered homage unto the aged. He felt kindly
towards the subjects; and the subjects on their part held him in dear
regard. He was kind to the poor; and he had conquered his anger; and he
regarded the Brahmanas; and he commisserated the wretched; and was
versed in morality; and always chastised the wicked; and was pure in
spirit; and possessed the thoughts and sentiments of his race; and
regarded highly his own Kshatriya duties; and considered that heaven was
to be attained through the glory acquired by performing them. He was
never engaged in forbidden practices; and never relished improper talk;
and argued in chain even like the lord of speech himself. And he was
free from ailment; and of young years; and endued with eloquence; and of
an excellent person; and versed in season and place; and discerned
character,--the one honest person ever created. Endowed with supreme
excellence, that son of the monarch was by virtue of his merit dear unto
the subjects like their life ranging externally. He had performed his
ablutions after having mastered all learning; and was properly versed in
the Vedas with their branches. In all weapons either inspired with
_mantras_ or otherwise, Bharata's eldest brother was superior even to
his father. And he was the spring of all good; and was saintly; and of
undisturbed souls; and truth-telling; and candid; and humble towards the
aged twice-born ones congnizant of virtue and interest. He was
congnizant of virtue, profit, and interest; had an excellent memory; and
was possessed of genius. He was an adept and was well versed in social
usages and customs. He was lowly; and of close counsel; and used to keep
unto himself his purposes; and was resourceful. Neither his pleasure nor
his displeasure went for naught. He knew the season of amassing riches,
and of giving them away. And he was ardently reverential; and his wisdom
never wavered; and he accepted no improper present; and he used no rough
speech. He knew no idleness; and was vigilant; and had a knowledge of
his own as well as of others' failings. He was conversant with the
scriptures; and was grateful; and could read the hearts of others. He
had sagacity to perceive the seasons for duly showing favor or disfavor.
He understood all about the reception of the righteous, the maintenance
of family, and the occasion for chastising evil-doers; and he was an
expert in collecting dues (from the people); and knew the manner
prescribed (by the authorities) for expending money. He had attained
proficiency in all the scriptures and literary works composed in both
Sanskrit and Prakrit. He sought pleasure wdthout sacrificing either
interest or morality; and he was never dilatory in duty. He understood
the arts of those who entertained others. He knew the various heads on
which wealth was to be expended. He was skilful in riding and training
up horses and elephants. He was the foremost of those accomplished in
archery; and was acknowledged among men as an _Atiratha_.[104] He led
his forces in the direction of the foe; and he slew his enemies; and was
accomplished in marshalling the troops. He was incapable of being
repressed in fight even by the enraged gods and Asuras. He was not given
to carping, and had subdued his anger, and he was never elated, or
malicious. He did not disregard any creature; he was no slave to the
times. That son of the monarch was furnished with such qualities. And he
was liked by the subjects as well as by the three worlds. In forgiveness
he was like unto the Earth; and in intelligence like unto Vrihaspati;
and in prowess like unto the Sachi's lord. Furnished with such qualities
acceptable to the people as well as gratifying unto his father, Rama
looked beautiful like the effulgent Sun surrounded by his rays. And the
Earth desired for her lord even him (Rama) possessing an excellent
character and of prow'ess incapable of being repressed--like unto
Lokanatha[105] himself.
