रे रे मनो मम मनोभवशासनस्य
पादाम्बुजद्वयमनारतमामनन्तम् ।
किं मां निपातयसि संसृतिगर्तमध्ये
नैतावता तव गमिष्यति पुत्रशोकः ॥ ३३ ॥
मरकतमणिमेदिनीधरो वा
तरुणतरस्तरुरेष वा तमालः ।
रघुपतिमवलोक्य तत्र दूरा-
दृषिनिकरैरिति संशयः प्रपेदे ॥ ३४ ॥
तरणितनया किं स्यादेषा न तोयमयी हि सा
मरकतमणिज्योत्स्रा वा स्यानच् सा मधुरा कुतः
इति रघुपतेः कायच्छाया विलोकनकौतुकै-
वनवसतिभिः कैः कैरावौ न संदिद्विहे जनैः ॥ ३५ ॥
the son of Nanda, ever watching my intrests. (Lit.,
ever present on my head).
33 Oh my heart, why dost thon hurl me down into
the pit of Samsāra while I am ceaselessly contemp-
lating the pair of the lotus-like feet of the Chastiser
of the Mind-born (Kâma)? Surely, by doing so, thy
sorrow for thy son (Kāma) will not be abated.
34. "Is that (yonder one) a mountain of emera-
lds? Or is it a very young tamala tree?"-Thus the
doubt arose in the minds of multitudes of sages when
they first sighted Rama from afar.
"Can this be the daughter of the Sun (the river
Jumna)? No. For she is full of water. Can it, then,
be the delightful lustre emanating from emeralds ?
No, ( for ) how can that lustre be so plea sing ? "-
