25 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे चतुस्त्रिंशः सर्गः ॥१-३४॥ कृतोद्वाहे गते तस्मिन् ब्रह्मदत्ते च राघव । अपुत्रः पुत्रलाभाय पौत्रीमिष्टिमकल्पयत् ॥१-३४-१॥
In the glorious Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, in the Bāla Kāṇḍa, this is the thirty-fourth canto. When that Brahmadatta had departed after his marriage, O Rāghava, the sonless Kuśanābha performed the Pautrī iṣṭi, a sacrificial rite for obtaining a son.
इष्ट्यां तु वर्तमानायां कुशनाभं महीपतिम् । उवाच परमोदारः कुशो ब्रह्मसुतस्तदा ॥१-३४-२॥
While the sacrifice was in progress, the supremely generous Kusha, the son of Brahmā, then said to the king Kushanābha:
पुत्रस्ते सदृशः पुत्र भविष्यति सुधार्मिकः । गाधिं प्राप्स्यसि तेन त्वं कीर्तिं लोके च शाश्वतीम् ॥१-३४-३॥
A son equal to you, a very righteous son, will be born; through him you will attain Gādhi and everlasting fame in the world.
एवमुक्त्वा कुशो राम कुशनाभं महीपतिम् । जगामाकाशमाविश्य ब्रह्मलोकं सनातनम् ॥१-३४-४॥
Having spoken thus, O Rāma, Kuśa went, entering the sky, to the eternal world of Brahmā, after approaching Kuśanābha, the lord of the earth.
कस्यचित् त्वथ कालस्य कुशनाभस्य धीमतः । जज्ञे परमधर्मिष्ठो गाधिरित्येव नामतः ॥१-३४-५॥
After some time, a supremely righteous son was born to the wise Kuśanābha, named Gādhi.
