30 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे विंशः सर्गः ॥१-२०॥ तच्छ्रुत्वा राजशार्दूलो विश्वामित्रस्य भाषितम् । मुहूर्तमिव निःसंज्ञः संज्ञावानिदमब्रवीत् ॥१-२०-१॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bālakāṇḍa, the twentieth chapter. Having heard that statement of Viśvāmitra, the tiger among kings, for a moment as if deprived of consciousness, then conscious again, spoke these words:
ऊनषोडशवर्षो मे रामो राजीवलोचनः । न युद्धयोग्यतामस्य पश्यामि सह राक्षसैः ॥१-२०-२॥
“My Rāma, the lotus-eyed one, is less than sixteen years old. I do not see him as capable of fighting together with the demons.”
इयमक्षौहिणी सेना यस्याहं पतिरीश्वरः । अनया सहितो गत्वा योद्धाहं तैर्निशाचरैः ॥१-२०-३॥
“This army of an akṣauhiṇī is mine, and I am its lord and master. Going with it, I shall fight those night-roamers.”
इमे शूराश्च विक्रान्ता भृत्या मेऽस्त्रविशारदाः । योग्या रक्षोगणैर्योद्धुं न रामं नेतुमर्हसि ॥१-२०-४॥
These are brave and mighty, my servants skilled in weapons. They are fit to fight the hosts of demons; you must not take Rāma. The transmitted form yogyā is feminine in form, whereas the surrounding subject is masculine plural; its certain intended sense here is “fit” or “capable,” while its exact grammatical agreement remains unresolved.
अहमेव धनुष्पाणिर्गोप्ता समरमूर्धनि । यावत् प्राणान् धरिष्यामि तावद् योत्स्ये निशाचरैः ॥१-२०-५॥
I alone, bearing a bow, will be the protector at the forefront of the battle. As long as I sustain my life, so long will I fight with the night-roaming demons.
