तां श्रुत्वा करुणां वाचं पितुर्मरणसंहिताम् ।
राघवो भरतेनोक्तां बभूव गतचेतनः ॥ २.१०२.१ ॥
Hearing that piteous speech, spoken by Bharata and connected with their father's death, Rāghava (Rāma) became senseless.
2.102.2
तं तु वज्रमिवोत्सृष्टमाहवे दानवारिणा ।
वाग्वज्रं भरतेनोक्तममनोज्ञं परन्तपः ॥ २.१०२.२ ॥
Like a thunderbolt hurled in battle by the enemy of the dānavas (Indra), that unpleasant thunderbolt of speech spoken by Bharata fell upon the scorcher of foes (Rāma).
2.102.3
प्रगृह्य बाहू रामो वै पुष्पिताग्रो यथा द्रुमः ।
वने परशुना कृत्तस्तथा भुवि पपात ह ॥ २.१०२.३ ॥
Rāma raised both arms, and like a tree with flowering crown cut down in the forest by an axe, he fell to the ground.
2.102.4
तथा निपतितं रामं जगत्यां जगतीपतिम् ।
कूलघातपरिश्रान्तं प्रसुप्तमिव कुञ्जरम् ॥ २.१०२.४ ॥
So Rāma, lord of the earth, lay fallen on the ground, like a sleeping elephant exhausted from battering the riverbank.

भ्रातरस्ते महेष्वासं सर्वतः शोककर्शितम् ।
रुदन्तः सह वैदेह्या सिषिचुः सलिलेन वै ॥ २.१०२.५ ॥
Your brothers, weeping together with Vaidehī (Sītā), sprinkled water all around that great archer, wasted by grief.

उपाक्रामत काकुत्स्थः कृपणं बहु भाषितुम् ॥ २.१०२.६ ॥
But he regained consciousness, and with tears flowing from both eyes, Kākutstha (Rāma) began to speak at length in a piteous voice.

उवाच भरतं वाक्यं धर्मात्मा धर्मसंहितम् ॥ २.१०२.७ ॥
Hearing that his father, the lord of the earth, had gone to heaven, Rāma, the righteous-souled, spoke these words in accord with dharma to Bharata.
2.102.8

कस्तां राजवराद्धीनामयोध्यां पालयिष्यति ॥ २.१०२.८ ॥
What shall I do in Ayodhyā now that the father has gone the destined way? Who will now protect Ayodhyā, bereft of its best of kings?
2.102.9
किं नु तस्य मया कार्य्यं दुर्जातेन महात्मनः ।
यो मृतो मम शोकेन मया चापि न संस्कृतः ॥ २.१०२.९ ॥
What duty remains for me, the ill-born one, toward that great-souled father, who died of my grief and was not even given the funeral rites by me?

शत्रुघ्नेन च सर्वेषु प्रेतकृत्येषु सत्कृतः ॥ २.१०२.१० ॥
Ah, Bharata, sinless one, your purpose is fulfilled, since you and Śatrughna honored the king in all the funeral rites.

निष्प्रधानामनेकाग्रां नरेन्द्रेण विना कृताम् ।
निवृत्तवनवासोपि नायोध्यां गन्तुमुत्सहे ॥ २.१०२.११ ॥
Even having returned from forest exile, I am not willing to go to Ayodhyā, made without its king, without leader and without unity of purpose.

समाप्तवनवासं मामयोध्यायां परन्तप ।
को नु शासिष्यति पुनस्ताते लोकान्तरं गते ॥ २.१०२.१२ ॥
Scorcher of foes, once my forest exile is ended and I am in Ayodhyā, who will govern me again now that the father has gone to another world?
2.102.13
पुरा प्रेक्ष्य सुवृत्तं मां पिता यान्याह सान्त्वयन् ।
वाक्यानि तानि श्रोष्यामि कुतः कर्णसुखान्यहम् ॥ २.१०२.१३ ॥
Long ago, when my father saw my good conduct and spoke words of consolation, from where shall I now hear those words, so pleasing to the ear?
2.102.14
एवमुक्त्वा स भरतं भार्यामभ्येत्य राघवः ।
उवाच शोकसन्तप्तः पूर्णचन्द्रनिभाननाम् ॥ २.१०२.१४ ॥
Having said this to Bharata, Rāghava, afflicted with grief, approached his wife, whose face was like the full moon, and spoke.

अहं पश्चाद्गमिष्यामि गतिर्ह्येषा सुदारुणा ॥ २.१०२.२१ ॥
Let Sītā walk in front; you walk close beside her. I shall follow behind, for this path is exceedingly harsh.
2.102.22
ततो नित्यानुगस्तेषां विदितात्मा महामतिः ।
मृदुर्दान्तश्च शान्तश्च रामे च दृढभक्तिमान् ॥ २.१०२.२२ ॥
Then Sumantra, their constant attendant, self-possessed and great in wisdom, gentle, self-restrained, calm, and firmly devoted to Rāma...
2.102.23
सुमन्त्रस्तैर्नृपसुतैः सार्द्धमाश्वास्य राघवम् ।
अवातारयदालम्ब्य नदीं मन्दाकिनीं शिवाम् ॥ २.१०२.२३ ॥
Sumantra, together with those princes, having comforted Rāghava, held onto the auspicious river Mandākinī and caused them to descend.
2.102.24
ते सुतीर्थां ततः कृच्छ्रादुपागम्य यशस्विनः ।
नदीं मन्दाकिनीं रम्यां सदा पुष्पितकाननाम् ॥ २.१०२.२४ ॥
Then those renowned ones, with difficulty, reached the delightful Mandākinī river, with its fine fords and forests ever in bloom.
2.102.25
शीघ्रस्रोतसमासाद्य तीर्थं शिवमकर्द्दमम् ।
सिषिचुस्तूदकं राज्ञे तत्रैतत्ते भवत्विति ॥ २.१०२.२५ ॥
Reaching the swift-flowing, auspicious, mudless ford, they sprinkled water for the king, saying, "May this be yours."

दिशं याम्यामभिमुखो रुदन् वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ २.१०२.२६ ॥
Taking up cupped hands full of water, the king, facing the southern direction, spoke these words while weeping.

पितृलोकगतस्याद्य मद्दत्तमुपतिष्ठतु ॥ २.१०२.२७ ॥
O tiger among kings, this pure, imperishable water is for you. May what I have offered today reach you, gone to the world of the ancestors.
2.102.28

पितुश्चकार तेजस्वी निवापं भ्रातृभिः सह ॥ २.१०२.२८ ॥
Then, coming back up from the bank of the Mandākinī, the radiant Rāghava performed the offering (nivāpa) for his father together with his brothers.
2.102.29
ऐङ्गुदं बदरीमिश्रं पिण्याकं दर्भसंस्तरे ।
न्यस्य रामः सुदुःखार्त्तो रुदन् वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ २.१०२.२९ ॥
Having placed the oil-cake of iṅgudī and jujube mixed together on a bed of kuśa grass, Rāma, deeply afflicted with sorrow, spoke these words weeping.
2.102.30
इदं भुङ्क्ष्व महाराज प्रीतो यदशना वयम् ।
यदन्नः पुरुषो भवति तदन्नास्तस्य देवताः ॥ २.१०२.३० ॥
Eat this, great king; be pleased with what we eat. Whatever food a man eats, that same food is eaten by his gods.
2.102.31
ततस्तेनैव मार्गेण प्रत्युत्तीर्य्य नदीतटात् ।
आरुरोह नरव्याघ्रो रम्यसानुं महीधरम् ॥ २.१०२.३१ ॥
Then, by that same path, having crossed back from the river bank, the tiger among men (Rāma) ascended the mountain with its lovely summit.

भ्रातऽणां सह वैदेह्याः सिंहानामिव नर्दताम् ॥ २.१०२.३३ ॥

अप्येकमनसो जग्मुर्यथास्थानं प्रधाविताः ॥ २.१०२.३६ ॥
Then all of them, abandoning their tents, turning their faces toward that sound, with one mind, ran back to their own places.
2.102.37

सुकुमारास्तथैवान्ये पद्भिरेव नरा ययुः ॥ २.१०२.३७ ॥
Some went by horses, some by elephants, some by richly adorned chariots, and others, tender of body, went on foot alone.

सा भूमिर्बहुभिर्यानैः खुरनेमिसमाहता ।
मुमोच तुमुलं शब्दं द्यौरिवाभ्रसमागमे ॥ २.१०२.४० ॥
That earth, struck by the hooves and wheel-rims of many vehicles, gave out a tumultuous roar, like the sky thundering when clouds meet.
2.102.41
तेन वित्रासिता नागाः करेणुपरिवारिताः ।
आवासयन्तो गन्धेन जग्मुरन्यद्वनं ततः ॥ २.१०२.४१ ॥
Terrified by that noise, the elephants, surrounded by their female companions, marking their dwelling with their scent, moved from there to another forest.
2.102.42
वराहवृकसङ्घाश्च महिषाः सर्प्पवानराः ।
व्याघ्रगोकर्णगवयाः वित्रेसुः पृषतैः सह ॥ २.१०२.४२ ॥
Herds of boars and wolves, buffaloes, snakes and monkeys, tigers, gokarṇas and gavayas, were all frightened, together with the spotted deer.
2.102.43
रथाङ्गसाह्वा नत्यूहाः हंसाः कारण्डवाः प्लवाः ।
तथा पुंस्कोकिलाः क्रौञ्चा विसंज्ञा भेजिरे दिशः ॥ २.१०२.४३ ॥
The chakravāka birds, the waterhens, swans, ducks and diving birds, likewise the male cuckoos and the cranes, bewildered, fled in all directions.

मनुष्यैरावृता भूमिरुभयं प्रबभौ तदा ॥ २.१०२.४४ ॥
Terrified by that sound, the sky was filled with birds and the earth with people; then both shone forth together.

ततस्तं पुरुषव्याघ्रं यशस्विनमरिन्दमम् ।
आसीनं स्थण्डिले रामं ददर्श सहसा जनः ॥ २.१०२.४५ ॥
Then the people suddenly saw Rāma, that tiger among men, famed and subduer of foes, seated on the bare ground.
2.102.46
विगर्हमाणः कैकेयीं सहितो मन्थरामपि ।
अभिगम्य जनो रामं बाष्पपूर्णमुखो ऽभवत् ॥ २.१०२.४६ ॥
Blaming Kaikeyī along with Manthara, the people approached Rāma, and their faces became full of tears.
2.102.47
तान्नरान् बाष्पपूर्णाक्षान् समीक्ष्याथ सुदुःखितान् ।
पर्य्यष्वजत धर्मज्ञः पितृवन्मातृवच्च सः ॥ २.१०२.४७ ॥
Seeing those men with tear-filled eyes and deeply distressed, Rāma, knower of dharma, embraced them as a father and a mother would.
2.102.48

चकार सर्वान् सवयस्य बान्धवान् यथार्हमासाद्य तदा नृपात्मजः ॥ २.१०२.४८ ॥
There the prince embraced some of the men, while some of the men bowed to him; with fitting honour he made all, with their companions and kinsmen, his own.
2.102.49
स तत्र तेषां रुदतां महात्मनां भुवं च खं चानुनिनादयन् स्वनः ।
गुहा गिरीणां च दिशश्च सन्ततं मृदङ्गघोषप्रतिमः प्रशुश्रुवे ॥ २.१०२.४९ ॥
There the sound of those great-souled ones weeping, echoing through earth and sky, was heard continually in the mountain caves and the quarters, like the sound of a drum.
