33 passagesस्त्रिग्धगम्भीरघोषेण स्यन्दनेनोपयान् प्रभु: । अयोध्यां भरत: क्षिप्रं प्रविवेश महायशा: ।। २.११४.१ ।।
By a chariot whose sound was smooth and deep, the mighty Bharata, greatly renowned, swiftly entered Ayodhya.
बिडालोलूकचरितामालीननरवारणाम् । तिमिराभ्याहतां कालीमप्रकाशां निशामिव ।। २.११४.२ ।।
He saw it like a dark, lightless night, traversed by cats and owls, with its people and elephants withdrawn or absent, and struck by darkness. The compound आलीननरवारणाम् can mean that men and elephants had withdrawn or that they were concealed; the context favors a deserted or emptied city.
राहुशत्रो: प्रियां पत्नीं श्रिया प्रज्वलितप्रभाम् । ग्रहेणाभ्युत्थिते नैकां रोहिणीमिव पीडिताम् ।। २.११४.३ ।।
Ayodhya [was] like the beloved wife of the enemy of Rahu, radiant with splendor, like Rohini afflicted when a graha had arisen. The transmitted form नैकां literally means “not one” or “not a single one”; its precise force in this comparison is uncertain. The phrase ग्रहेणाभ्युत्थिते is also syntactically unclear as transmitted; it literally refers to a graha, a “seizer” or celestial body, having arisen. Conditionally, if the intended sense is an eclipse, the comparison is to Rohini afflicted when an eclipse has arisen.
अल्पोष्णक्षुब्धसलिलां धर्मोत्तप्तविहङ्गमाम् । लीनमीनझषग्राहां कृशां गिरिनदीमिव ।। २.११४.४ ।।
Like a thin mountain stream, with slightly warm, disturbed water, with birds scorched by heat, and with fish, large fish, and crocodiles hidden away. The transmitted reading धर्मोत्तप्त means literally “heated by dharma/righteousness”; if घर्मोत्तप्त, “scorched by heat,” is intended, that gives the contextual sense reflected here.
विधूमामिव हेमाभामध्वराग्ने: समुत्थिताम् । हविरभ्युक्षितां पश्चात् शिखां विप्रलयं गताम् ।। २.११४.५ ।।
Like a smokeless, golden-hued flame arisen from a sacrificial fire, sprinkled with the oblation and afterward gone out.
