अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५३2.53.p04646

Sanskrit · 2.53.p04646

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे त्रिपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥२-५३॥ स तम् वृक्षम् समासाद्य सम्ध्याम् अन्वास्य पश्चिमाम् । रामः रमयताम् श्रेष्ठैति ह उवाच लक्ष्मणम् ॥२-५३-१॥

English · Meaning

In the glorious Ramayana of Valmiki, in the Ayodhya Book, the fifty-third chapter. Having approached that tree and attended upon the western twilight, Rama, best among those who bring delight, said to Lakshmana: “Today this first night has passed outside the settlement of the people. You ought not to long for that night which has been without Sumantra. From today onward, we two must keep watch without weariness during the nights, for Sita’s welfare and protection indeed rest upon us two, O Lakshmana. Somehow, indeed, we will pass this night, O Saumitri; having spread out what we ourselves have obtained, we will lie down upon the ground.” But he, though suited to a great and valuable bed, entered upon the earth; and Rama spoke these auspicious stories to Saumitra.
