47 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे पञ्चचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥१-४५॥ विश्वामित्रवचः श्रुत्वा राघवः सहलक्ष्मणः। विस्मयं परमं गत्वा विश्वामित्रमथाब्रवीत् ॥१॥
In the revered Valmiki Ramayana, in the Bala Kanda, this is the forty-fifth chapter (1.45). Having heard Vishvamitra’s words, Raghava, together with Lakshmana, was filled with the utmost amazement and then spoke to Vishvamitra. (1)
अत्यद्भुतमिदं ब्रह्मन् कथितं परमं त्वया। गङ्गावतरणं पुण्यं सागरस्यापि पूरणम् ॥२॥
“This is exceedingly wondrous, O Brahman, and has been told by you as something supreme: the holy descent of the Ganges and also the filling of the ocean.”
क्षणभूतेव नौ रात्रिः संवृत्तेयं परंतप। इमां चिन्तयतोः सर्वां निखिलेन कथां तव ॥३॥
“The night has become for the two of us as though it were only a moment, O scorcher of foes, while we two have been contemplating your entire story in full.”
तस्य सा शर्वरी सर्वा मम सौमित्रिणा सह। जगाम चिन्तयानस्य विश्वामित्र कथां शुभाम् ॥४॥
That entire night passed—तस्य literally means “of him,” and its syntactic reference in the transmitted wording is difficult—together with Saumitri, while I was contemplating your auspicious story, O Vishvamitra.
ततः प्रभाते विमले विश्वामित्रं तपोधनम्। उवाच राघवो वाक्यं कृताह्निकमरिन्दमः ॥५॥
Then, at the clear dawn, the enemy-subduing Rāghava, having completed his morning rites, spoke these words to Viśvāmitra, whose wealth was austerity.
