28 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे अष्टसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥२-७८॥ अत्र यात्राम् समीहन्तम् शत्रुघ्नः लक्ष्मण अनुजः । भरतम् शोक सम्तप्तम् इदम् वचनम् अब्रवीत् ॥२-७८-१॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, this is the seventy-eighth chapter. Here, as Bharata was preparing to depart, Śatrughna, Lakṣmaṇa’s younger brother, spoke these words to Bharata, who was afflicted with grief.
गतिर् यः सर्व भूतानाम् दुह्खे किम् पुनर् आत्मनः । स रामः सत्त्व सम्पन्नः स्त्रिया प्रव्राजितः वनम् ॥२-७८-२॥
He who is the refuge of all beings in sorrow—what then of one’s own self? That Rāma, endowed with virtue, was banished to the forest by a woman.
बलवान् वीर्य सम्पन्नो लक्ष्मणो नाम यो अपि असौ । किम् न मोचयते रामम् कृत्वा अपि पितृ निग्रहम् ॥२-७८-३॥
That one named Lakshmana, though strong and endowed with vigor—why does he not free Rama, even by restraining his father?
पूर्वम् एव तु निग्राह्यः समवेक्ष्य नय अनयौ । उत्पथम् यः समारूढो नार्या राजा वशम् गतः ॥२-७८-४॥
But the king who, after considering right policy and wrong policy, has mounted the wrong path and come under a woman’s control ought first of all to have been restrained.
इति सम्भाषमाणे तु शत्रुघ्ने लक्ष्मण अनुजे । प्राग् द्वारे अभूत् तदा कुब्जा सर्व आभरण भूषिता ॥२-७८-५॥
While Śatrughna, Lakṣmaṇa’s younger brother, was speaking thus, Kubjā was then at the eastern gate, adorned with every ornament.
