प्रतिप्रयाते भरते वसन् रामस्तपोवने ।
लक्षयामास सोद्वेगमथौत्सुक्यं तपस्विनाम् ॥ २.११६.१ ॥
After Bharata had gone back, Rāma, dwelling in the forest hermitage, noticed with unease the restlessness and eagerness of the ascetics.
2.116.2
ये तत्र चित्रकूटस्य पुरस्तात्तापसाश्रमे ।
राममाश्रित्य निरतास्तानलक्षयदुत्सुकान् ॥ २.११६.२ ॥
Those ascetics who, in the hermitage east of Citrakūṭa, had taken refuge with Rāma and were devoted to him, he saw to be restless.
2.116.3
नयनैर्भुकुटीभिश्च रामं निर्दिश्य शङ्किताः ।
अन्योन्यमुपजल्पन्तः शनैश्चक्रुर्मिथः कथाः ॥ २.११६.३ ॥
Pointing at Rāma with glances and frowns, the suspicious ascetics spoke to one another in low voices, exchanging talk among themselves.
2.116.4
तेषामौत्सुक्यमालक्ष्य रामस्त्वात्मनि शङ्कितः ।
कृताञ्जलिरुवाचेदमृषिं कुलपतिं ततः ॥ २.११६.४ ॥
Noticing their restlessness, Rāma grew uneasy within himself, and with folded hands he spoke these words to the sage, the head of the community.
2.116.5
न कच्चिद्भगवन् किञ्चित्पूर्ववृत्तमिदं मयि ।
दृश्यते विकृतं येन विक्रियन्ते तपस्विनः ॥ २.११६.५ ॥
O venerable one, is there perhaps some former conduct of mine that appears to be amiss, by which these ascetics are being disturbed?
2.116.6
प्रमादाच्चरितं कच्चित्किञ्चिन्नावरजस्य मे ।
लक्ष्मणस्यर्षिभिर्दृष्टं नानुरूपमिवात्मनः ॥ २.११६.६ ॥
Or perhaps through carelessness some deed of my younger brother Lakṣmaṇa has been seen by the sages, one that does not befit his own nature?
2.116.7
कच्चिच्छुश्रूषमाणा वः शुश्रूषणपरा मयि ।
प्रमादाभ्युचितां वृत्तिं सीता युक्तं न वर्तते ॥ २.११६.७ ॥
Is Sītā, intent on serving you and me, perhaps behaving in some improper way out of carelessness?
2.116.8
अथर्षिर्जरया वृद्धस्तपसा च जरां गतः ।
वेपमान इवोवाच रामं भूतदयापरम् ॥ २.११६.८ ॥
Then that sage, worn by old age and aged by austerity, trembling as it were, spoke to Rāma, who was intent on compassion for all beings.
2.116.9
कुतः कल्याणसत्त्वायाः कल्याणाभिरतेस्तथा ।
चलनं तात वैदेह्यास्तपस्विषु विशेषतः ॥ २.११६.९ ॥
Dear one, how could there be any wavering in Vaidehī, whose nature is good and who delights only in goodness, especially toward ascetics?
2.116.10
त्वन्निमित्तमिदं तावत्तापसान् प्रति वर्तते ।
रक्षोभ्यस्तेन संविग्नाः कथयन्ति मिथः कथाः ॥ २.११६.१० ॥
Because of you, this is happening to the ascetics; terrified by the rākṣasas, they are speaking to one another in such words.
2.116.11
रावणावरजः कश्चित् खरो नामेह राक्षसः ।
उत्पाट्य तापसान् सर्वान् जनस्थाननिकेतनान् ॥ २.११६.११ ॥
Here is a rākṣasa named Khara, a younger brother of Rāvaṇa, who is uprooting all the ascetics dwelling in Janasthāna.
2.116.12
धृष्टश्च जितकाशीं च नृशंसः पुरुषादकः ।
अवलिप्तश्च पापश्च त्वां च तात न मृष्यते ॥ २.११६.१२ ॥
He is insolent, proud of his victories, cruel, a man-eater, arrogant and wicked; dear one, he does not tolerate even you.
2.116.13
त्वं यदाप्रभृति ह्यस्मिन्नाश्रमे तात वर्तसे ।
तदाप्रभृति रक्षांसि विप्रकुर्वन्ति तापसान् ॥ २.११६.१३ ॥
Dear one, since the time you began to dwell in this hermitage, the rākṣasas have been harassing the ascetics.
2.116.14
दर्शयन्ति हि बीभत्सैः क्रूरैर्भीषणकैरपि ।
नानारूपैर्विरूपैश्च रूपैर्विकृतदर्शनैः ॥ २.११६.१४ ॥
They show themselves in hideous, cruel, terrifying forms, in many shapes, deformed and distorted in appearance.
2.116.15
अप्रशस्तैरशुचिभिः सम्प्रयोज्य च तापसान् ।
प्रतिघ्नन्त्यपरान् क्षिप्रमनार्य्याः पुरतः स्थिताः ॥ २.११६.१५ ॥
Having used unseemly and impure things against the ascetics, these ignoble ones standing before them quickly strike down others as well.
2.116.16
तेषु तेष्वाश्रमस्थानेष्वबुद्धमवलीय च ।
रमन्ते तापसांस्तत्र नाशयन्तो ऽल्पयेतसः ॥ २.११६.१६ ॥
Hiding and unperceived in those various hermitage places, the small-minded ones take delight there, destroying the ascetics.
2.116.17
अपक्षिपन्ति स्रुग्भाण्डानग्नीन् सिञ्चन्ति वारिणा ।
कलशांश्च प्रमृद्नन्ति हवने समुपस्थिते ॥ २.११६.१७ ॥
When the sacrifice is at hand, they hurl down the ladles and vessels, sprinkle water on the sacred fires, and crush the pots.
2.116.18
तैर्दुरात्मभिरामृष्टानाश्रमान् प्रजिहासवः ।
गमनायान्यदेशस्य चोदयन्त्यृषयो ऽद्य माम् ॥ २.११६.१८ ॥
Wishing to abandon hermitages defiled by those evil-minded ones, the sages today urge me to go to another land.
2.116.19
तत्पुरा राम शारीरीमुपहिंसां तपस्विषु ।
दर्शयन्ति हि दुष्टास्ते त्यक्ष्याम इममाश्रमम् ॥ २.११६.१९ ॥
Therefore, O Rāma, those wicked men are already showing bodily violence against the ascetics. We shall abandon this hermitage.
2.116.20
बहुमूलफलं चित्रमविदूरादितो वनम् ।
पुराणाश्रममेवाहं श्रयिष्ये सगणः पुनः ॥ २.११६.२० ॥
Not far from here is a wondrous forest abounding in roots and fruits. I shall resort again to that ancient hermitage, together with my company.
2.116.21
खरस्त्वय्यपि चायुक्तं पुरा तात प्रवर्त्तते ।
सहास्माभिरितो गच्छ यदि बुद्धिः प्रवर्त्तते ॥ २.११६.२१ ॥
Dear one, Khara too has long been behaving improperly even toward you. If your mind is so inclined, go from here with us.
2.116.22
सकलत्रस्य सन्देहो नित्यं यत्तस्य राघव ।
समर्थस्यापि वसतो वासो दुःखमिहाद्य ते ॥ २.११६.२२ ॥
O Rāghava, one who lives with a wife is always beset by the fear of peril. However capable you are, dwelling here now brings you sorrow.
2.116.23
इत्युक्तवन्तं रामस्तं राजपुत्रस्तपस्विनम् ।
न शशाकोत्तरैर्वाक्यैरवरोद्धुं समुत्सुकः ॥ २.११६.२३ ॥
Though eager to do so, the king's son Rāma could not check that ascetic, who had spoken thus, with any reply.
2.116.24
अभिनन्द्य समापृच्छ्य समाधाय च राघवम् ।
स जगामाश्रमं त्यक्त्वा कुलैः कुलपतिः सह ॥ २.११६.२४ ॥
Having greeted Rāghava, taken leave, and reassured him, the lord of the clan left the hermitage, abandoning it together with his clans.
2.116.25
रामः संसाध्य त्वृषिगणमनुगमनाद्देशात्तस्मात् कुलपतिमभिवाद्य ऋषिम् ।
सम्यक्प्रीतैस्तैरनुमत उपदिष्टार्थः पुण्यं वासाय स्वनिलयमुपसम्पेदे ॥ २.११६.२५ ॥
Having accomplished the escort of the host of sages, and having taken leave of the lord of the hermitage, Rāma saluted the sage. When they, fully pleased, gave their consent and instructed him in his purpose, he betook himself to his own holy dwelling.
2.116.26
आश्रमं त्वृषिविरहितं प्रभुः क्षणमपि न विजहौ स राघवः ।
राघवं हि सततमनुगतास्तापसाश्चार्षचरितधृतगुणाः ॥ २.११६.२६ ॥
Yet that lord Rāghava never left the hermitage, even for a moment, though it was bereft of sages. For the ascetics ever followed Rāghava, bearing the virtues of the sages' conduct.
