Having thus reproved his mother in great wrath, Bharata said again, "Do
thou bear thyself from this kingdom, O heartless and wicked Kaikeyi.
Having been lost to righteousness, do not thou lament me dead. What
qualities of thine were taxed by the king or the exceedingly virtuous
Rama, that both of them simultaneously have come by death and exile
respectively through thy agency? O Kaikeyi, thou hast been guilty of
homicide in consequence of the destruction of this race. Do thou go to
hell, never to the world attained by my father; since, renouncing Rama
dear unto all, thou hast committed this sin by thy grim act and brought
me into fear. Through thee hath my father met with his end, and Rama
hath taken refuge in the woods; and it is through thee that I have come
to ignominy among all creatures. O thou enemy of mine in the guise of a
mother! O fell one! O thou that covetest the kingdom! do thou not speak
to me, O wicked wretch! O slayer of thy husband! it is because of thee,
stainer of thy race, that Kaucalya, Sumitra, and other mothers of mine
have been overwhelmed with a mighty sorrow. Thou art never the daughter
of the pious and intelligent Acwapati, thou art a Rakshasi born in that
race, thou that hast destroyed my father's race, inasmuch as the
virtuous and heroic Rama ever observing truth hath been sent to the
woods and my father hath ascended heaven through thy agency; inasmuch as
thou that hast perpetrated this arch offence, hast laid this sin on me,
who have been forsaken by my sire, renounced by my brothers, and come by
universal disfavor. O thou of sinful ways, having separated the virtuous
Kaucalya (from her son), what world, O thou that repairest to hell,
shall be thy portion? Dost thou not, O tortuous one, know that that one
sprung from Kaucalya's, self, my eldest brother Rama, who is like a
father unto me, has ever been the refuge of his friends? A son born from
all the limbs of his mother, comes out from her heart; and therefore it
is that he is far dearer unto his mother, albeit her friends are dear to
her.[166] Once on a time, it is related by persons cognizant of
morality, Surabhi regarded by the celestials, beheld two of her sons
toiling on earth and seeming to be deprived of their senses. And, when
the day had been half spent, seeing her sons fatigued on earth, she
stricken with grief for them, began to weep with tears flooding her
eyes. And it came to pass that as the magnanimous sovereign of the
celestials was passing below, her fine and fragrant tear-drops fell on
his person. Turning his eyes up, Sakra found Surabhi stationed in the
sky, distressed and weeping in extreme anguish of spirit. Seeing that
illustrious one burning in grief, the wielder of the thunder-bolt, Indra
the lord of the celestials, waxing anxious, with joined hands said, 'Is
there any great danger in any quarter? Do thou, O thou that art intent
on the welfare of all, say, whence is this grief of thine?' Thus
addressed by the intelligent king of the celestials, that one well
skilled in speech, the sedate Surabhi answered, 'Auspiciousness, O lord
of celestials! No sin is yours. But I mourn my sons fallen into evil
plight, having seen them lean, distressed, and burnt by the rays of the
sun-- Valivarddhas afflicted by the wicked-minded ploughman. Seeing
those that have been born of my body, cast down and in trouble, I
grieve: there is none that is dear like unto a son.' Seeing her the
whole earth is filled with whose sons by thousands, weeping, Indra
understood that none is an object of greater affection than a son. And
that lord, Indra, also considered Surabhi of a person breathing a sacred
odour, whose tears had dropped on his body, as the foremost being on
earth. Even that one yeilding whatever is asked, auspicious, crowned
with the choicest virtues, although having all natural functions,
showing equal kindness unto all, and of unequalled character, who
maintaineth all creatures, she who hath a thousand sons, grieves (for
her sons). How can then Kaucalya carry on existence without Rama? Chaste
and having an only son, that lady has through thee been separated from
her son, (like a cow separated from her calf). For this, thou wilt
always have to suffer misery alike in this world and the next I shall
for my part completely minister unto my brother and father; and shall,
without doubt, increase my fame. Bringing hither the mighty-armed lord
of Kocala endowed with immense strength, I myself will repair to the
forest inhabited by ascetics. O thou that hast delivered thyself over to
iniquity! I, looked at by the citizens with their throats oppressed with
the vapour of grief, cannot bear this (burden of) sin heaped on me by
thee. Do thou enter fire, or dive into Dandaka, or wound a cord round
thy neck: other desirable way there is none for thee. On Rama having
truth for prowess, obtaining the earth, I, my disgrace removed, shall be
blest." Grieving thus, Bharata, like an elephant in the forest afflicted
with a _tomara_ or _ankusa_,[167] fell to the earth sighing like an
enraged snake. With his eyes reddened, and his cloth falling off, and
his ornaments cast away, that subduer of foes, the king's son fallen on
the earth, resembled a banner of Sakra after the festival is over.

SECTION LXXV.
Arising after a long while when he had regained his consciousness,
Bharata endowed with prowess, regarding his distressed mother with eyes
filled with tears, began to tax her in the midst of the courtiers: "I
had never desired the kingdom. I had never consulted my mother. Nor did
I know the installation that had been thought of by the monarch. I was
then living in a far country in company with Satrughna. I did not know
the banishment of the magnanimous Rama to the woods, or the exile of
Sumitra's son; nor did I know how Sita came to be banished." As the
high-souled Bharata was thus wailing, Kaucalya recognizing his voice
spoke unto Sumitra, "Come is Bharata, the son of that one of crooked
ways. I am desirous of seeing the far-sighted Bharata." Having said this
unto Sumitra, that one emaciated and with a pallid countenance,
trembling and almost deprived of sensation, went to where Bharata was.
And it came to pass that the king's son, Bharata, along with Satrughna
had just then by the way that led to the same, been proceeding to
Kaucalya's quarter. Then Satrughna and Bharata seeing the aggrieved
Kaucalya, embraced the stricken and fallen lady well nigh deprived of
her senses. Thereupon, weeping from grief, the noble and intelligent
Kaucalya exceedingly afflicted, embracing them as they indulged in
sorrow, said unto Bharata, "Thus hast thou, that hadst desired the
kingdom, received it rid of its thorn. Alas! it has been speedily
obtained through the crooked act of Kaikeyi. What is the good that is
perceived by Kaikeyi of tortuous sight in sending away my son clad in
bark to the woods? It behoveth Kaikeyi to send me also speedily to where
is staying my illustrious son furnished with a gold-gleaming navel. Or
first performing the fire-sacrifice, I followed by Sumitra, will myself
happily seek the way by which Raghava (has gone to the woods). Or it
behoveth thee to thyself bring me unto the place where that foremost of
men, my son, is performing austerities. This spacious kingdom abounding
in corn and wealth, and filled with elephants, horses, and cars, is
thine, having been conferred on thee (by Kaikeyi)." Thus reproached by
many a harsh word, the sinless Bharata felt exceeding pain like unto
that produced by pricking a sore with a needle. Exceedingly agitated, he
fell at Kaucalya's feet, lamenting much, and well nigh deprived of his
senses. Bharata then regained his consciousness, and with joined hands
answered Kaucalya lamenting thus and overcome with excess of sorrow,
saying,--"O noble lady, what for dost thou censure me who am without sin
and who know nothing of this? Thou knowest that profuse is my delight in
Raghava. May the sense of him never follow scripture, that had approved
the exile into the woods of that foremost of the good, the noble Rama
intent on truth! May such a person as had approved the exile unto the
woods of the noble one undergo servitude at the hands of the sinful,
answer the calls of nature facing the Sun, and kick a sleeping cow with
his feet! May he that had approved the exile of the noble one into the
woods come by the sin that is reaped by a master who withholds salary
from servants after the ceremony is over! May that one that had approved
the exile of the noble Rama to the woods, be guilty of the sin that is
his that injures a sovereign engaged in ruling his subjects like sons!
May the person that had approved the exile of the noble one to the
woods, reap the sin of his that having taken a sixth part of their
incomes, does not protect his subjects! May he that had approved the
exile of the noble one to the woods, come by the demerit that is his
that denies _dakshinas_ unto ascetics in a sacrifice, after having
promised them the same! May he that had approved the exile into the
woods of the noble one, never discharge the duty of the good in the
field thronged with elephants and horses and cars, and bristling with
arms! May the wicked wight that had approved the exile of the noble one
to the woods bring to naught the subtle scriptural knowledge which has
been carefully taught him by his intelligent preceptor! May that one
that had approved the exile of the noble (Rama) to the woods never
behold the long-armed and broad-shouldered (Raghava) resembling the Sun
and the Moon in energy seated (on the throne)! May that one void of
aversion, that had approved of the exile of the noble one to the woods
feed on _Payaca_, _Krisara_, and goat's flesh, which have not been
offered in sacrifice; and may he insult his spiritual preceptor! May he
that had approved the exile of the noble one to the woods touch a cow
with his feet, revile his superiors, and injure his friends! May that
one of wicked soul that had approved of the exile of the noble one into
the woods divulge any defects (of another's character) that have been
communicated to him in strict confidence! May he that had approved the
exile of Rama to the woods, never repay any good act, be ungrateful
abandoned by all,-- the object of universal execration! May he that had
approved of the exile into the woods of the noble one, eat alone in his
home, although surrounded by sons and wives and servitors! May he that
had approved of the exile of the noble one, die without obtaining wives
worthy of him, without sons, without any good works performed! May he
that had approved the exile of the noble one into the woods, never see
his own offspring, and not attaining ripe age, may he mourn his wives!
And may he come by the sin that is reaped by slaying a king, a woman, a
boy, or an old man, or by renouncing those who have claims on his
maintenance! May he that had approved the exile of the noble one into
the woods always feed his family with lac, honey, meat, iron, and
poison! May that one that had approved the exile of the noble one into
the woods, while flying from the engagement while it is waxing furious
with the foe, come to be killed! May he that had approved of the exile
of the noble one into the woods, clad in tatters with a skull in hand,
like a madman range the earth abegging! May he that had approved the
exile of the noble one into the woods, be always addicted to wine, to
women, and to dice; and may he be swayed by lust, anger, &c! May he that
had approved of the exile of that noble one into the woods, never relish
virtue, and go after unrighteousness; and may he shower his wealth on
the unworthy! May he that had approved the exile of the noble one into
the woods, haИсточники и права
