अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५९2.59.p04879

Sanskrit · 2.59.p04879

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे एकोनषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥२-५९॥ मम तु अश्वा निवृत्तस्य न प्रावर्तन्त वर्त्मनि । उष्णम् अश्रु विमुन्चन्तः रामे सम्प्रस्थिते वनम् ॥२-५९-१॥

English · Meaning

The fifty-ninth canto in the glorious Valmiki Ramayana, in the Ayodhya Book. As for my horses, when I had turned back, they did not proceed along the road; they let fall hot tears when Rama had set out for the forest.

अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५९2.59.p04880

Sanskrit · 2.59.p04880

उभाभ्याम् राज पुत्राभ्याम् अथ कृत्वा अहम् ज्ञलिम् । प्रस्थितः रथम् आस्थाय तत् दुह्खम् अपि धारयन् ॥२-५९-२॥

Then, having made a reverential gesture to both the royal sons, I set out, mounting the chariot, even while bearing that sorrow.

अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५९2.59.p04881

Sanskrit · 2.59.p04881

गुहा इव सार्धम् तत्र एव स्थितः अस्मि दिवसान् बहून् । आशया यदि माम् रामः पुनः शब्दापयेद् इति ॥२-५९-३॥

English · Meaning

I remained there itself for many days, together with Guha, hoping that Rama might summon me again. The transmitted इव literally means “like” or “as if,” and its precise relation in “गुहा इव सार्धम्” is uncertain; the contextual sense is companionship with Guha.
