47 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे सप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥१-७०॥ ततः प्रभाते जनकः कृतकर्मा महर्षिभिः। उवाच वाक्यं वाक्यज्ञः शतानन्दं पुरोहितम् ॥१॥
The seventieth chapter of the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bāla-kāṇḍa. Then, at dawn, Janaka, having completed his duties together with the great seers, spoke these words to Śatānanda, his priest—Janaka, who knew how to speak.
भ्राता मम महातेजा वीर्यवानतिधार्मिकः। कुशध्वज इति ख्यातः पुरीमध्यवसच्छुभाम् ॥२॥
My brother, greatly radiant, powerful and exceedingly righteous, known as Kushadhvaja, dwelt in a beautiful city.
वार्याफलकपर्यन्तां पिबन्निक्षुमतीं नदीम्। सांकाश्यां पुण्यसंकाशां विमानमिव पुष्पकम् ॥३॥
He saw the river Ikṣumatī, edged with groves of reeds and fruits as far as its banks, and Sāṅkāśyā, radiant with holiness, like the aerial car Puṣpaka.
तमहं द्रष्टुमिच्छामि यज्ञगोप्ता स मे मतः। प्रीतिं सोऽपि महातेजा इमां भोक्ता मया सह ॥४॥
I wish to see him; he is, in my view, the guardian of the sacrifice. That mighty-radiant one too will partake of this joy with me.
एवमुक्ते तु वचने शतानन्दस्य संनिधौ। आगताः केचिदव्यग्रा जनकस्तान् समादिशत् ॥५॥
When these words had been spoken in Śatānanda’s presence, some men arrived without agitation, and Janaka ordered them.
