7.52.1
तत्र तां रजनीमुष्य केशिन्यां रघुनन्दनः ।
प्रभाते पुनरुत्थाय लक्ष्मणः प्रययौ तदा ॥ ७.५२.१ ॥
There, having passed that night on the bank of the Keśinī, Lakṣmaṇa, delight of the Raghus, rose again at dawn and then set out.
7.52.2
ततो ऽर्धदिवसे प्राप्ते प्रविवेश महारथः ।
अयोध्यां रत्नसम्पूर्णां हृष्टपुष्टजनावृताम् ॥ ७.५२.२ ॥
Then, when midday had come, the great charioteer entered Ayodhyā, full of jewels and surrounded by cheerful, prosperous people.
7.52.3
सौमित्रिस्तु परं दैन्यं जगाम सुमहामतिः ।
रामपादौ समासाद्य वक्ष्यामि किमहं गतः ॥ ७.५२.३ ॥
But Lakṣmaṇa, son of Sumitrā, though very wise, fell into deep dejection. Having reached Rāma's feet, he thought: "What shall I say? Having come here, what have I done?"
7.52.4
तस्यैवं चिन्तयानस्य भवनं शशिसन्निभम् ।
रामस्य परमोदारं पुरस्तान्समदृश्यत ॥ ७.५२.४ ॥
As he was thinking thus, Rāma's most magnificent dwelling, resembling the moon, came into view before him.
7.52.5
राज्ञस्तु भवनद्वारि सो ऽवतीर्य रथोत्तमात् ।
अवाङ्मुखो दीनमनाः प्रविवेशानिवारितः ॥ ७.५२.५ ॥
At the gate of the king's palace, he descended from the excellent chariot and entered, face downcast and mind sorrowful, unhindered by anyone.
7.52.6
स दृष्ट्वा राघवं दीनमासीनं परमासने ।
नेत्राभ्यामश्रुपूर्णाभ्यां ददर्शाग्रजमग्रतः ॥ ७.५२.६ ॥
He saw Rāghava, sorrowful, seated upon the supreme seat, and with tear-filled eyes he beheld his elder brother before him.
7.52.7
जग्राह चरणौ तस्य लक्ष्मणो दीनचेतनः ।
उवाच दीनया वाचा प्राञ्जलिः सुसमाहितः ॥ ७.५२.७ ॥
Lakṣmaṇa, his heart grieved, seized his feet and, with folded palms and perfect attention, spoke in a sorrowful voice.
7.52.8
आर्यस्याज्ञां पुरस्कृत्य विसृज्य जनकात्मजाम् ।
गङ्गातीरे यथोद्दिष्टे वाल्मीकेराश्रमे शुचौ ॥ ७.५२.८ ॥
Having placed the command of the noble one before me, I left the daughter of Janaka on the bank of the Gaṅgā, in Vālmīki's pure hermitage, just as had been directed.
7.52.9
तत्र तां च शुभाचारामाश्रमान्ते यशस्विनीम् ।
पुनरप्यागतो वीर पादमूलमुपासितुम् ॥ ७.५२.९ ॥
There, at the edge of the hermitage, I left her, the virtuous and glorious one; and now I have come back, O hero, to attend upon your feet.
7.52.10
मा शुचः पुरुषव्याघ्र कालस्य गतिरीदृशी ।
त्वद्विधा न हि शोचन्ति बुद्धिमन्तो मनस्विनः ॥ ७.५२.१० ॥
Do not grieve, O tiger among men; such is the course of time. Wise and high-minded persons like you do not grieve.
7.52.11
सर्वे क्षयान्ता निचयाः पतनान्ताः समुच्छ्रयाः ।
संयोगा विप्रयोगान्ता मरणान्तं च जीवितम् ॥ ७.५२.११ ॥
All accumulations end in decay, all heights end in falling, all unions end in separation, and life ends in death.
7.52.12
तस्मात्पुत्रेषु दारेषु मित्रेषु च धनेषु च ।
नातिप्रसङ्गः कर्तव्यो विप्रयोगो हि तैर्ध्रुवम् ॥ ७.५२.१२ ॥
Therefore one should not cling excessively to sons, wives, friends, or wealth, for separation from them is certain.
7.52.13
शक्तस्त्वमात्मना ऽ ऽत्मानं विनेतुं मनसैव हि ।
लोकान्सर्वांश्च काकुत्स्थ किं पुनः शोकमात्मनः ॥ ७.५२.१३ ॥
O Kākutstha, you are able to restrain yourself and all the worlds by the mind alone; how much more, then, your own grief?
7.52.14
नेदृशेषु विमुह्यन्ति त्वद्विधाः पुरुषर्षभाः ।
अपवादः स किल ते पुनरेष्यति राघव ॥ ७.५२.१४ ॥
O Rāghava, men best of their kind like you are not bewildered by such matters; yet that public blame will come back to you again.
7.52.15
यदर्थं मैथिली त्यक्ता अपवादभयान्नृप ।
सो ऽपवादः पुरे राजन्भविष्यति न संशयः ॥ ७.५२.१५ ॥
O king, that very public blame which led to Maithilī being abandoned out of fear of it will arise in the city; there is no doubt.
7.52.16
स त्वं पुरुषशार्दूल धैर्येण सुसमाहितः ।
त्यजैनां दुर्बलां बुद्धिं सन्तापं मा कुरुष्व ह ॥ ७.५२.१६ ॥
O tiger among men, with steadfast resolve and well composed, cast off this weak thought and do not give way to distress.
7.52.17
एवमुक्तः स काकुत्स्थो लक्ष्मणेन महात्मना ।
उवाच परया प्रीत्या सौमित्रिं मित्रवत्सलः ॥ ७.५२.१७ ॥
When the great-souled Lakṣmaṇa had spoken thus, Kākutstha, fond of his friends, said to Saumitri with supreme affection.
7.52.18
एवमेतन्नरश्रेष्ठ यथा वदसि लक्ष्मण ।
परितोषश्च मे वीर मम कार्यानुशासने ॥ ७.५२.१८ ॥
So it is, best of men Lakṣmaṇa, just as you say; and, O hero, I am content with your counsel concerning my duty.
7.52.19
निवृत्तिश्चागता सौम्य सन्तापश्च निराकृतः ।
भवद्वाक्यैः सुरुचिरैरनुनीतो ऽस्मि लक्ष्मण ॥ ७.५२.१९ ॥
Gentle Lakṣmaṇa, by your most pleasing words I have found relief; my distress has been dispelled, and I am soothed.
