2.119.1
अनसूया तु धर्मज्ञा श्रुत्वा तां महतीं कथाम् ।
पर्य्यष्वजत बाहुभ्यां शिरस्याघ्राय मैथिलीम् ॥ २.११९.१ ॥
Anasūyā, who knew dharma, having heard that great tale, embraced Maithilī with both arms and kissed her head.
2.119.2
व्यक्ताक्षरपदं चित्रं भाषितं मधुरं त्वया ।
यथा स्वयम्वरं वृत्तं तत्सर्वं हि श्रुतं मया ।
रमे ऽहं कथया ते तु दृढं मधुरभाषिणि ॥ २.११९.२ ॥
O sweet-speaking one, you spoke wonderfully, with clear syllables and words; all that happened at the swayamvara I have heard. I rejoice greatly in your tale.
2.119.3
रविरस्तं गतः श्रीमानुपोह्य रजनीं शिवाम् ।
दिवसं प्रतिकीर्णानामाहारार्थं पतत्ऺित्रणाम् ।
सन्ध्याकाले निलीनानां निद्रार्थं श्रूयते ध्वनिः ॥ २.११९.३ ॥
The radiant sun has set, and the auspicious night has come. The sound is heard of birds that scattered by day for food, and of those that hid at twilight for sleep.
2.119.4
एते चाप्यभिषेकार्द्रा मुनयः कलशोद्यताः ।
सहिता उपवर्तन्ते सलिलाप्लुतवल्कलाः ॥ २.११९.४ ॥
These sages, too, wet from the ritual bath and holding up their water pots, are returning together, their bark garments soaked with water.
2.119.5
ऋषीणामग्निहोत्रेषु हुतेषु विधिपूर्वकम् ।
कपोताङ्गारुणो धूमो दृश्यते पवनोद्धतः ॥ २.११९.५ ॥
At the sages' fire-offerings, the oblations have been made according to rule; smoke, the colour of a dove's neck, stirred by the wind, is seen rising.
2.119.6
अल्पपर्णाहि तरवो घनीभूताः समन्ततः ।
विप्रकृष्टेपि देशे ऽस्मिन्न प्रकाशन्ति वै दिशः ॥ २.११९.६ ॥
Though far away from this place, the trees, with few leaves and grown dense all around, do not light up the directions of this region.
2.119.7
रजनीचरसत्त्वानि प्रचरन्ति समन्ततः ।
तपोवनमृगा ह्येते वेदितीर्थेषु शेरते ॥ २.११९.७ ॥
Creatures that roam by night wander on every side, and these deer of the hermitage forest lie down to rest at the altar-shrines.
2.119.8
सम्प्रवृद्धा निशा सीते नक्षत्रसमलङ्कृता ।
जोत्स्नाप्रावरणश्चन्द्रो दृश्यते ऽभ्युदितो ऽम्बरे ॥ २.११९.८ ॥
O Sītā, the night has grown deep, adorned with stars; the moon, wrapped in moonlight as a cloak, is seen risen in the sky.
2.119.9
गम्यतामनुजानामि रामस्यानुचरी भव ।
कथयन्त्या हि मधुरं त्वयाहं परितोषिता ॥ २.११९.९ ॥
Go on, I give my leave; become a follower of Rāma. Speaking so sweetly, you have gladdened me.
2.119.10
अलङ्कुरु च तावत्त्वं प्रत्यक्षं मम मैथिलि ।
प्रीतिं जनय मे वत्से दिव्यालङ्कारशोभिता ॥ २.११९.१० ॥
O Maithilī, adorn yourself here in my very sight; O dear child, radiant with divine ornaments, give me delight.
2.119.11
सा तथा समलंकृत्य सीता सुरसुतोपमा ।
प्रणम्य शिरसा तस्यै रामं त्वभिमुखी ययौ ॥ २.११९.११ ॥
Thus, having adorned herself well, Sītā, like a daughter of the gods, bowed her head before that goddess and went, turning her face toward Rāma.
2.119.12
तथा तु भूषितां सीतां ददर्श वदतां वरः ।
राघवः प्रीतिदानेन तपस्विन्या जहर्ष च ॥ २.११९.१२ ॥
The best of speakers, Rāghava, saw Sītā thus adorned, and he rejoiced at the gift of affection from the ascetic woman.
2.119.13
न्यवेदयत्ततः सर्वं सीता रामाय मैथिली ।
प्रीतिदानं तपस्विन्या वसनाभरणस्रजम् ॥ २.११९.१३ ॥
Then Sītā, the Maithilī, reported everything to Rāma: the gifts of affection from the ascetic woman — garments, ornaments and garland.
2.119.14
प्रहृष्टस्त्वभवद्रामो लक्ष्मणश्च महारथः ।
मैथिल्याः सत्क्रियां दृष्ट्वा मानुषेषु सुदुर्लभाम् ॥ २.११९.१४ ॥
Rāma and the great charioteer Lakṣmaṇa were delighted, seeing the Maithilī's courteous act, so rare among human beings.
2.119.15
ततस्तां शर्वरीं प्रीतः पुण्यां शशिनिभाननः ।
अर्चितस्तापसैः सिद्धैरुवास रघुनन्दनः ॥ २.११९.१५ ॥
Then Rāma, the moon-faced delight of the Raghus, pleased, honoured by the ascetics and perfected sages, stayed through that sacred night.
2.119.16
तस्यां रात्र्यां व्यतीतायामभिषिच्य हुताग्निकान् ।
आपृच्छेतां नरव्याघ्रौ तापसान् वनगोचरान् ॥ २.११९.१६ ॥
When that night had passed, the two tigers among men, having made oblations into the sacred fires, took leave of the ascetics who dwell in the forest.
2.119.17
तावूचुस्ते वनचरास्तापसा धर्मचारिणः ।
वनस्य तस्य सञ्चारं राक्षसैः समभिप्लुतम् ॥ २.११९.१७ ॥
Then those forest-dwelling ascetics, who follow dharma, said to the two that the route through that forest is overrun by rākṣasas.
2.119.18
रक्षांसि पुरुषादानि नानारूपाणि राघव ।
वसन्त्यस्मिन् महारण्ये व्यालाश्च रुधिराशनाः ॥ २.११९.१८ ॥
O Rāghava, in this great forest dwell rākṣasas of many forms who devour men, and fierce beasts that drink blood.
2.119.19
उच्छिष्टं वा प्रमत्तं वा तापसं धर्मचारिणम् ।
अदन्त्यस्मिन् महारण्ये तान्निवारय राघव ॥ २.११९.१९ ॥
In this great forest they devour even the leftover, the heedless, or the ascetic who lives by dharma. O Rāghava, restrain them.
2.119.20
एष पन्था महर्षीणां फलान्याहरतां वने ।
अनेन तु वनं दुर्गं गन्तुं राघव ते क्षमम् ॥ २.११९.२० ॥
This is the path of the great sages who gather fruits in the forest. O Rāghava, by this way it is fitting for you to enter this impassable forest.
2.119.21
इतीव तैः प्राञ्जलिभिस्तपस्विभिर्द्विजैः कृतः स्वस्त्ययनः परं तपः ।
वनं सभार्य्यः प्रविऺवेश राघवः सलक्ष्मणः सूर्य्यमिवाभ्रमण्डलम् ॥ २.११९.२१ ॥
Thus, with folded hands, the ascetics and twice-born sages gave their blessing of well-being for the supreme austerity. Then Rāghava entered the forest with his wife and Lakṣmaṇa, like the sun entering a disc of clouds.
