38 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे षोडशः सर्गः ॥३-१६॥ अथ पञ्चवटीं गच्छन्नन्तरा रघुनन्दनः। आससाद महाकायं गृध्रं भीमपराक्रमम्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, the sixteenth canto. While proceeding toward Pañcavaṭī, Rāma, the delight of the Raghus, encountered a huge-bodied vulture of terrifying prowess.
तं दृष्ट्वा तौ महाभागौ वनस्थं रामलक्ष्मणौ। मेनाते राक्षसं पक्षिं ब्रुवाणौ को भवानिति॥ २॥
Seeing him, the two greatly fortunate brothers Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, while he was dwelling in the forest, thought the bird to be a rākṣasa and said, “Who are you?”
ततो मधुरया वाचा सौम्यया प्रीणयन्निव। उवाच वत्स मां विद्धि वयस्यं पितुरात्मनः॥ ३॥
Then, as though pleasing him with sweet and gentle speech, he said: “Dear one, know me as a companion of your father.”
स तं पितृसखं मत्वा पूजयामास राघवः। स तस्य कुलमव्यग्रमथ पप्रच्छ नाम च॥ ४॥
Recognizing him as his father’s friend, Rāghava honored him. Then he asked him about his lineage and also his name. The transmitted expression “kulam avyagram” can literally suggest “an unagitated or undisturbed lineage”; here the certain sense is that Rāma asked about the vulture’s lineage.
रामस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा कुलमात्मानमेव च। आचचक्षे द्विजस्तस्मै सर्वभूतसमुद्भवम्॥ ५॥
Having heard Rāma’s words, the twice-born one told him his lineage and indeed his very self, and the origin of all beings.
