20 passagesनिवेश्य सेनां तु विभु: पद्भ्यां पादवतां वर:। अभिगन्तुं स काकुत्स्थमियेष गुरुवर्त्तकम् ।। २.९८.१ ।।
Having stationed the army, that mighty one, foremost among those who walk, wished to proceed on foot to approach Kakutstha, in a manner befitting one devoted to his elder or guru. The exact syntactic force of गुरुवर्त्तकम् is somewhat uncertain in the transmitted wording.
निविष्टमात्रे सैन्ये तु यथोद्देशं विनीतवत्। भरतो भ्रातरं वाक्यं शत्रुघ्नमिदमब्रवीत् ।। २.९८.२ ।।
When the army had just been stationed, Bharata, having acted respectfully, addressed his brother Śatrughna these words, according to the appointed arrangement.
क्षिप्रं वनमिदं सौम्य नरसङ्घै: समन्तत:। लुब्धैश्च सहितैरेभिस्त्वमन्वेषितुमर्हसि ।। २.९८.३ ।।
Swiftly, O gentle one, you should search this forest on every side with groups of men, together with these eager companions.
गुहो ज्ञातिसहस्रेण शरचापासिधारिणा। समन्वेषतु काकुत्स्थावस्मिन् परिवृत: स्वयम् ।। २.९८.४ ।।
Let Guha himself, surrounded by a thousand kinsmen bearing arrows, bows, and swords, search for Kakutstha in this [forest]. The transmitted form काकुत्स्थावस्मिन् is uncertain: its intended sense is evidently “Kakutstha in this [place/forest],” but its exact segmentation is not secure.
अमात्यै: सह पौरैश्च गुरुभिश्च द्विजातिभि:। वनं सर्वं चरिष्यामि पद्भ्यां परिवृत: स्वयम् ।। २.९८.५ ।।
I myself shall traverse the entire forest on foot, surrounded by ministers, citizens, elders, and members of the twice-born classes.
