20 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुरशीतितमः सर्गः ॥२-८४॥ ततः निविष्टाम् ध्वजिनीम् गन्गाम् अन्वाश्रिताम् नदीम् । निषाद राजो दृष्ट्वा एव ज्ञातीन् सम्त्वरितः अब्रवीत् ॥२-८४-१॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, the eighty-fourth sarga. Then the Niṣāda king, seeing the army encamped along the river, settled by the Ganges, at once hurriedly spoke to his kinsmen.
महती इयम् अतः सेना सागर आभा प्रदृश्यते । न अस्य अन्तम् अवगच्चामि मनसा अपि विचिन्तयन् ॥२-८४-२॥
“This army is immense; therefore it appears like an ocean. Even while considering it in my mind, I cannot discern its end.” ॥2-84-2॥
यथा तु खलु दुर्भद्धिर्भरतः स्वयमागतः । स एष हि महा कायः कोविदार ध्वजो रथे ॥२-८४-३॥
“But since Bharata has himself come— the transmitted form दुर्भद्धिर्भरतः is uncertain and may preserve an epithet such as ‘ill-minded Bharata’ if दुर्बुद्धिः was intended—this indeed is the great-bodied one; the kovidāra banner is on the chariot.” ॥2-84-3॥
बन्धयिष्यति वा दाशान् अथ वा अस्मान् वधिष्यति । अथ दाशरथिम् रामम् पित्रा राज्यात् विवासितम् ॥२-८४-४॥
“Will he bind the Niṣādas, or will he kill us? Or [has he come to deal with] Rāma, Daśaratha’s son, banished from the kingdom by his father?” The transmitted passage ends here, leaving the action understood from the surrounding continuation.
सम्पन्नाम् श्रियमन्विच्चम्स्तस्य राज्ञः सुदुर्लभाम् । भरतः कैकेयी पुत्रः हन्तुम् समधिगच्चति ॥२-८४-५॥
He seeks the prosperity of that king, which is exceedingly difficult to attain; Bharata, Kaikeyi’s son, is approaching in order to kill him. The exact form joined in “श्रियमन्विच्चम्स्तस्य” is transmitted as written; it can be understood through ordinary sandhi as “श्रियम् अन्विच्छन् तस्य,” “seeking his prosperity.”
