24 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे द्वादशः सर्गः ॥१-१२॥ ततः काले बहुतिथे कस्मिंश्चित् सुमनोहरे । वसन्ते समनुप्राप्ते राज्ञो यष्टुं मनोऽभवत् ॥१-१२-१॥
In the glorious Ramayana of Valmiki, in the Bala Kanda, this is the twelfth canto. ॥1-12॥ Thereafter, when a considerable time had passed, at a certain delightful time, when spring had fully arrived, the king desired to perform a sacrifice. ॥1-12-1॥
ततः प्रणम्य शिरसा तं विप्रं देववर्णिनम् । यज्ञाय वरयामास संतानार्थं कुलस्य च ॥१-१२-२॥
Then, having bowed with his head to that Brāhmaṇa, that godlike-hued one, he chose him for the sacrifice, for the sake of offspring and also of the continuance of the family line.
तथेति च स राजानमुवाच वसुधाधिपम् । सम्भाराः सम्भ्रियन्तां ते तुरगश्च विमुच्यताम् ॥१-१२-३॥
And he said, “So be it,” to the king, the lord of the earth: “Let the materials be gathered for you, and let the horse also be released.”
सरय्वाश्चोत्तरे तीरे यज्ञभूमिर्विधीयताम् । ततोऽब्रवीनृपो वाक्यं ब्राह्मणान् वेदपारगान् ॥१-१२-४॥
And on the northern bank of the Sarayu, let the sacrificial ground be prepared. Then the king spoke these words to the Brahmins who were learned in the Veda:
सुमन्त्रावाहय क्षिप्रमृत्विजो ब्रह्मवादिनः । सुयज्ञं वामदेवं च जाबालिमथ काश्यपम् ॥१-१२-५॥
“Sumantra, summon quickly the officiating priests who expound Brahman: Suyajña, Vāmadeva, and Jabāli, and Kāśyapa.”
