25 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे षष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥२-६०॥ ततः भूत उपसृष्टा इव वेपमाना पुनः पुनः । धरण्याम् गत सत्त्वा इव कौसल्या सूतम् अब्रवीत् ॥२-६०-१॥
The sixtieth canto in the revered Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa. Then Kausalyā, trembling again and again as though afflicted by a spirit, as though her vitality had gone into the earth, said to the charioteer:
नय माम् यत्र काकुत्स्थः सीता यत्र च लक्ष्मणः । तान् विना क्षणम् अपि अत्र जीवितुम् न उत्सहे हि अहम् ॥२-६०-२॥
Take me where Kakutstha is, where Sita and Lakshmana are. Without them, I cannot live here even for a moment—indeed, I cannot.
निवर्तय रथम् शीघ्रम् दण्डकान् नय माम् अपि । अथ तान् न अनुगच्चामि गमिष्यामि यम क्षयम् ॥२-६०-३॥
Turn the chariot around quickly; take me also to the Dandakas. Otherwise, if I do not follow them, I shall go to the abode of Yama, the destroyer of life. The transmitted wording “यम क्षयम्” is read literally here as “Yama’s abode”; a compound reading is possible, but the source tokens are preserved separately.
बाष्प वेगौपहतया स वाचा सज्जमानया । इदम् आश्वासयन् देवीम् सूतः प्रान्जलिर् अब्रवीत् ॥२-६०-४॥
Using that voice overcome by the force of tears and faltering, the charioteer, with folded hands, spoke these words while comforting the goddess. The transmitted isolated form “स” is grammatically uncertain in this context; literally it can mean “that” or “he,” while the clause clearly describes a tear-stricken voice.
त्यज शोकम् च मोहम् च सम्भ्रमम् दुह्खजम् तथा । व्यवधूय च सम्तापम् वने वत्स्यति राघवः ॥२-६०-५॥
Abandon grief, delusion, and confusion born of sorrow as well. Having shaken off distress too, Raghava will dwell in the forest.
