28 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे त्रयस्त्रिंशः सर्गः ॥१-३३॥ तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा कुशनाभस्य धीमतः । शिरोभिश्चरणौ स्पृष्ट्वा कन्याशतमभाषत ॥१-३३-१॥
In the glorious Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, in the Bālakāṇḍa, the thirty-third canto. After hearing those words of the wise Kuśanābha, the hundred maidens touched his two feet with their heads and addressed him.
वायुः सर्वात्मको राजन् प्रधर्षयितुमिच्छति । अशुभं मार्गमास्थाय न धर्मं प्रत्यवेक्षते ॥१-३३-२॥
“Vāyu, who is present in all beings, O King, desires to violate us. Taking an improper path, he does not regard righteousness.”
पितृमत्यः स्म भद्रं ते स्वच्छन्दे न वयं स्थिताः । पितरं नो वृणीष्व त्वं यदि नो दास्यते तव ॥१-३३-३॥
We have a father; may it be well with you. We are not independent or free to act according to our own will. You should choose our father; if he gives us to you, we shall be yours. The transmitted final expression “तव” literally means “your/of you,” although the context appears to require the sense “to you.”
तेन पापानुबन्धेन वचनं न प्रतीच्छता । एवं ब्रुवन्त्यः सर्वाः स्म वायुनाभिहता भृशम् ॥१-३३-४॥
Because that sinful one did not accept their words, all of them, speaking thus, were violently assailed by Vāyu.
तासां तु वचनं श्रुत्वा राजा परमधार्मिकः । प्रत्युवाच महातेजाः कन्याशतमनुत्तमम् ॥१-३३-५॥
Hearing the words of those maidens, the king, supremely righteous and greatly resplendent, replied to the excellent hundred daughters.
