39 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे द्वादशः सर्गः ॥३-१२॥ स प्रविश्याश्रमपदं लक्ष्मणो राघवानुजः। अगस्त्यशिष्यमासाद्य वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya-kāṇḍa, this is the twelfth canto. ॥3.12॥ He, Lakṣmaṇa, the younger brother of Rāghava, entered the hermitage and, having approached Agastya’s disciple, spoke these words indeed: ॥1॥
राजा दशरथो नाम ज्येष्ठस्तस्य सुतो बली। रामः प्राप्तो मुनिं द्रष्टुं भार्यया सह सीतया॥ २॥
The king named Daśaratha has a powerful eldest son. Rāma has arrived to see the sage, together with his wife Sītā. ॥2॥
लक्ष्मणो नाम तस्याहं भ्राता त्ववरजो हितः। अनुकूलश्च भक्तश्च यदि ते श्रोत्रमागतः॥ ३॥
I am Lakṣmaṇa, his brother, but the younger one, well-disposed toward him. I am loyal and devoted. If this has reached your hearing, [you know of me]. ॥3॥ The transmitted form त्ववरजो is read naturally as तु अवरजः, “but the younger brother”; the conditional phrase leaves the final implication elliptical.
ते वयं वनमत्युग्रं प्रविष्टाः पितृशासनात्। द्रष्टुमिच्छामहे सर्वे भगवन्तं निवेद्यताम्॥ ४॥
Thus we have entered the exceedingly fearsome forest by our father’s command. We all desire to see the Blessed One; let him be informed.
तस्य तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा लक्ष्मणस्य तपोधनः। तथेत्युक्त्वाग्निशरणं प्रविवेश निवेदितुम्॥ ५॥
Having heard that speech of his, concerning Lakṣmaṇa, the ascetic rich in austerity said ‘so be it’ and entered the fire-sanctuary in order to make the announcement.
