38 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे चतुर्थः सर्गः ॥१-४॥ प्राप्तराज्यस्य रामस्य वाल्मीकिर्भगवानृषिः । चकार चरितं कृत्स्नं विचित्रपदमर्थवत् ॥१-४-१॥
In the illustrious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bāla Kāṇḍa, this is the fourth canto. The venerable sage Vālmīki composed the entire account of Rāma, who had obtained the kingdom, in wording that was varied and rich in meaning.
चतुर्विंशत्सहस्राणि श्लोकानामुक्तवानृषिः । तथा सर्गशतान् पञ्च षट्काण्डानि तथोत्तरम् ॥१-४-२॥
The sage uttered twenty-four thousand verses, likewise five hundred cantos, six Books, and also the Uttara, the concluding section.
कृत्वा तु तन्महाप्राज्ञः सभविष्यं सहोत्तरम् । चिन्तयामास को न्वेतत् प्रयुञ्जीयादिति प्रभुः ॥१-४-३॥
Having composed that, O greatly wise one, together with the future events and the Uttara portion, the lord pondered: “Who, indeed, would perform or recite this?”
तस्य चिन्तयमानस्य महर्षेर्भावितात्मनः । अगृह्णीतां ततः पादौ मुनिवेषौ कुशीलवौ ॥१-४-४॥
While that great sage, whose self was spiritually cultivated, was thinking, the two Kuśīlavas in ascetic attire then grasped his feet.
कुशीलवौ तु धर्मज्ञौ राजपुत्रौ यशस्विनौ । भ्रातरौ स्वरसंपन्नौ ददर्शाश्रमवासिनौ ॥१-४-५॥
He saw the two Kuśīlavas—knowers of dharma, royal princes, renowned, brothers, rich in vocal quality, and dwelling in the hermitage.
