3.59.1
अथाश्रमादुपावृत्तमन्तरा रघुनन्दनः।
परिपप्रच्छ सौमित्रिं रामो दुःखादिदं वचः ॥ ३.५९.१ ॥
Then Rāma, the delight of the Raghus, returning from the hermitage, asked Saumitri Lakṣmaṇa these words in sorrow along the way.
3.59.2
तमुवाच किमर्थं त्वमागतोऽपास्य मैथिलीम्।
यदा सा तव विश्वासाद् वने विरहिता मया ॥ ३.५९.२ ॥
He said: Why have you come, abandoning Maithilī, when she was left alone in the forest by me, trusting in you?
3.59.3
दृष्ट्वैवाभ्यागतं त्वां मे मैथिलीं त्यज्य लक्ष्मण।
शङ्कमानं महत् पापं यत्सत्यं व्यथितं मनः ॥ ३.५९.३ ॥
O Lakṣmaṇa, seeing you come here and knowing you have left my Maithilī, I fear some great wrong has been done; truly my mind is troubled.
3.59.4
स्फुरते नयनं सव्यं बाहुश्च हृदयं च मे।
दृष्ट्वा लक्ष्मण दूरे त्वां सीताविरहितं पथि ॥ ३.५९.४ ॥
My left eye twitches, and my arm and my heart too. O Lakṣmaṇa, seeing you from afar on the path, without Sītā.
3.59.5
एवमुक्तस्तु सौमित्रिर्लक्ष्मणः शुभलक्षणः।
भूयो दुःखसमाविष्टो दुःखितं राममब्रवीत् ॥ ३.५९.५ ॥
Thus addressed, Lakṣmaṇa, Saumitri of auspicious marks, overcome again with sorrow, spoke to the grieving Rāma.
3.59.6
न स्वयं कामकारेण तां त्यक्त्वाहमिहागतः।
प्रचोदितस्तयैवोग्रैस्त्वत्सकाशमिहागतः ॥ ३.५९.६ ॥
Not by my own will did I leave her and come here; urged by her harsh words, I have come here to your presence.
3.59.7
आर्येणेव परिक्रुष्टं लक्ष्मणेति सुविस्वरम्।
परित्राहीति यद्वाक्यं मैथिल्यास्तच्छ्रुतिं गतम् ॥ ३.५९.७ ॥
As if by the noble one, a loud cry of "Lakṣmaṇa!" went up, and the words of Maithilī, "Save me!", reached the ear.
3.59.8
सा तमार्तस्वरं श्रुत्वा तव स्नेहेन मैथिली।
गच्छ गच्छेति मामाशु रुदती भयविक्लवा ॥ ३.५९.८ ॥
Hearing that anguished cry, Maithilī, distraught with fear and weeping out of affection for you, quickly urged me again and again, "Go, go!"
3.59.9
प्रचोद्यमानेन मया गच्छेति बहुशस्तया।
प्रत्युक्ता मैथिली वाक्यमिदं तत् प्रत्ययान्वितम् ॥ ३.५९.९ ॥
Though I urged him many times, she kept saying "Go"; and Maithilī answered me with these words, full of conviction.
3.59.10
न तत् पश्याम्यहं रक्षो यदस्य भयमावहेत्।
निर्वृता भव नास्त्येतत् केनाप्येतदुदाहृतम् ॥ ३.५९.१० ॥
I see no demon who could bring him fear. Be at ease — no one has said this.
3.59.11
विगर्हितं च नीचं च कथमार्योऽभिधास्यति।
त्राहीति वचनं सीते यस्त्रायेत् त्रिदशानपि ॥ ३.५९.११ ॥
How would the noble one speak such a reproachful and base word, "Save me!"? O Sītā, would he who can protect even the gods say such a thing?
3.59.12
किंनिमित्तं तु केनापि भ्रातुरालम्ब्य मे स्वरम्।
विस्वरं व्याहृतं वाक्यं लक्ष्मण त्राहि मामिति ॥ ३.५९.१२ ॥
For what reason did someone, taking up the brother's voice and imitating mine, harshly cry out, "Lakṣmaṇa, save me!"?
3.59.13
राक्षसेनेरितं वाक्यं त्रासात् त्राहीति शोभने।
न भवत्या व्यथा कार्या कुनारीजनसेविता ॥ ३.५९.१३ ॥
Those words, "Save me!", were spoken by the rākṣasa out of fear. O fair one, you should not be distressed; this is the conduct of base women.
3.59.14
अलं विक्लवतां गन्तुं स्वस्था भव निरुत्सुका।
न चास्ति त्रिषु लोकेषु पुमान् यो राघवं रणे ॥ ३.५९.१४ ॥
Enough of despair; be composed and free from anxiety. In all three worlds there is no man who could defeat Rāghava in battle.
3.59.15
जातो वा जायमानो वा संयुगे यः पराजयेत्।
अजेयो राघवो युद्धे देवैः शक्रपुरोगमैः ॥ ३.५९.१५ ॥
Whether one has been born or is yet to be born, no one could defeat Rāghava in battle. Rāghava is unconquerable in war, even by the gods led by Indra.
3.59.16
एवमुक्ता तु वैदेही परिमोहितचेतना।
उवाचाश्रूणि मुञ्चन्ती दारुणं मामिदं वचः ॥ ३.५९.१६ ॥
Thus addressed, Vaidehī, her mind bewildered, shedding tears, spoke to me these harsh words.
3.59.17
भावो मयि तवात्यर्थं पाप एव निवेशितः।
विनष्टे भ्रातरि प्राप्तुं न च त्वं मामवाप्स्यसे ॥ ३.५९.१७ ॥
Your intention toward me is utterly sinful. Once my brother is destroyed, you will never obtain me.
3.59.18
संकेताद् भरतेन त्वं रामं समनुगच्छसि।
क्रोशन्तं हि यथात्यर्थं नैनमभ्यवपद्यसे ॥ ३.५९.१८ ॥
At Bharata's instigation you are following Rāma closely. Though he cries out in great distress, you do not go to his aid.
3.59.19
रिपुः प्रच्छन्नचारी त्वं मदर्थमनुगच्छसि।
राघवस्यान्तरं प्रेप्सुस्तथैनं नाभिपद्यसे ॥ ३.५९.१९ ॥
You are an enemy, moving in disguise. For my sake you follow him; seeking an opening against Rāghava, yet you do not approach him.
3.59.20
एवमुक्तस्तु वैदेह्या संरब्धो रक्तलोचनः।
क्रोधात् प्रस्फुरमाणोष्ठ आश्रमादभिनिर्गतः ॥ ३.५९.२० ॥
Thus addressed by Vaidehī, he was enraged, his eyes red, his lips quivering with anger, and he came out from the hermitage.
3.59.21
एवं ब्रुवाणं सौमित्रिं रामः संतापमोहितः।
अब्रवीद् दुष्कृतं सौम्य तां विना त्वमिहागतः ॥ ३.५९.२१ ॥
To Saumitri, who spoke thus, Rāma, bewildered by distress, said: "Gentle one, you have done wrong in coming here, leaving her alone."
3.59.22
जानन्नपि समर्थं मां रक्षसामपवारणे।
अनेन क्रोधवाक्येन मैथिल्या निर्गतो भवान् ॥ ३.५९.२२ ॥
Though you knew that I am able to ward off the rākṣasas, you went out at these angry words of Maithilī.
3.59.23
नहि ते परितुष्यामि त्यक्त्वा यदसि मैथिलीम्।
क्रुद्धायाः परुषं श्रुत्वा स्त्रिया यत् त्वमिहागतः ॥ ३.५९.२३ ॥
I am not pleased with you, for you have abandoned Maithilī; having heard the harsh words of an angry woman, you have come here.
3.59.24
सर्वथा त्वपनीतं ते सीतया यत् प्रचोदितः।
क्रोधस्य वशमागम्य नाकरोः शासनं मम ॥ ३.५९.२४ ॥
In every way you have done wrong, urged on by Sītā; yielding to the power of anger, you did not carry out my command.
3.59.25
असौ हि राक्षसः शेते शरेणाभिहतो मया।
मृगरूपेण येनाहमाश्रमादपवाहितः ॥ ३.५९.२५ ॥
That demon, who lured me away from the hermitage in the form of a deer, lies struck down by my arrow.
3.59.26
विकृष्य चापं परिधाय सायकं
सलीलबाणेन च ताडितो मया।
मार्गीं तनुं त्यज्य च विक्लवस्वरो
बभूव केयूरधरः स राक्षसः ॥ ३.५९.२६ ॥
Drawing my bow and fitting an arrow, I struck him with a shaft loosed as easily as play. Abandoning his deer body, the demon, wearing armlets, became one with a faltering voice.
3.59.27
शराहतेनैव तदार्तया गिरा
स्वरं ममालम्ब्य सुदूरसुश्रवम्।
उदाहृतं तद् वचनं सुदारुणं
त्वमागतो येन विहाय मैथिलीम् ॥ ३.५९.२७ ॥
Struck by the arrow, he imitated my voice in an anguished cry and uttered those very cruel words, so loud that they carried far; by them you were drawn to come here, leaving Maithilī behind.
