50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुःषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥२-६४॥ वधमप्रतिरूपम् तु महर्षेस्तस्य राघवः । विलपन्ने व धर्मात्मा कौसल्याम् पुन रब्रवीत् ॥२-६४-१॥
In the venerable Valmiki Ramayana, in the Ayodhya Canto, the sixty-fourth canto. Raghava, the righteous-souled one, lamenting over the unbefitting killing of that great sage, again said to Kausalya:
तत् अज्ञानान् महत् पापम् कृत्वा सम्कुलित इन्द्रियः । एकः तु अचिन्तयम् बुद्ध्या कथम् नु सुकृतम् भवेत् ॥२-६४-२॥
Having, through ignorance, committed that great sin, and with my senses confused, I alone then reflected with understanding: “How, indeed, could a good deed come of it?” The transmitted form अज्ञानान् is grammatically unusual; its literal form can suggest “ignorances,” while “through ignorance” is the contextual reading.
ततः तम् घटम् आदय पूर्णम् परम वारिणा । आश्रमम् तम् अहम् प्राप्य यथा आख्यात पथम् गतः ॥२-६४-३॥
Then, taking that pot, full of excellent water, I reached that hermitage and went by the path as instructed.
तत्र अहम् दुर्बलाव् अन्धौ वृद्धाव् अपरिणायकौ । अपश्यम् तस्य पितरौ लून पक्षाव् इव द्विजौ ॥२-६४-४॥
There I saw his parents—weak, blind, aged, without a guide—like two birds with their wings cut off.
तन् निमित्ताभिर् आसीनौ कथाभिर् अपरिक्रमौ । ताम् आशाम् मत् कृते हीनाव् उदासीनाव् अनाथवत् ॥२-६४-५॥
For his sake they sat there, not moving about, sustained by talks, deprived of that hope on account of me, desolate like persons without protection.
