अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_७३2.73.p05417

Sanskrit · 2.73.p05417

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे त्रिसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥२-७३॥ श्रुत्वा तु पितरम् वृत्तम् भ्रातरु च विवासितौ । भरतः दुह्ख सम्तप्तैदम् वचनम् अब्रवीत् ॥२-७३-१॥

English · Meaning

In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Book, this is the seventy-third canto. Having heard what had happened to his father and that his two brothers had been exiled, Bharata, scorched by grief, spoke these words. The forms “भ्रातरु” and “सम्तप्तैदम्” are transmitted as written; in context they appear to represent “भ्रातरौ” (“the two brothers”) and a grief-qualified form meaning “grief-stricken, this …,” respectively.
