21 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे अष्टषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥१-६८॥ जनकेन समादिष्टा दूतास्ते क्लान्तवाहनाः। त्रिरात्रमुषिता मार्गे तेऽयोध्यां प्राविशन् पुरीम् ॥१॥
In the illustrious Ramayana of Valmiki, in the Bala Kanda, the sixty-eighth canto. Instructed by Janaka, those envoys, their conveyances wearied, having stayed three nights on the road, entered the city of Ayodhya.
ते राजवचनाद् गत्वा राजवेश्म प्रवेशिताः। ददृशुर्देवसंकाशं वृद्धं दशरथं नृपम् ॥२॥
Having gone in accordance with the king's command, they were admitted to the royal residence. They saw the aged King Dasharatha, radiant like a god.
बद्धाञ्जलिपुटाः सर्वे दूता विगतसाध्वसाः। राजानं प्रश्रितं वाक्यमब्रुवन् मधुराक्षरम् ॥३॥
All the envoys, with their palms joined and free from fear, spoke to the king respectful words of sweet sound.
मैथिलो जनको राजा साग्निहोत्रपुरस्कृतः। मुहुर्मुहुर्मधुरया स्नेहसंरक्तया गिरा ॥४॥
The Mithilan king Janaka, with the Agnihotra rite placed foremost, [spoke or addressed you] again and again in a sweet voice imbued with affection. The verb is not explicit in this transmitted verse and is supplied from the surrounding syntax.
कुशलं चाव्ययं चैव सोपाध्यायपुरोहितम्। जनकस्त्वां महाराज पृच्छते सपुरःसरम् ॥५॥
Janaka asks you, O great king, about your welfare and continued well-being, together with your preceptor and household priest, and with those who go before you; the exact scope of “with those who go before” is somewhat context-dependent.
