23 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे एकचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥५-४१॥ स च वाग्भिः प्रशस्ताभिर्गमिष्यन् पूजितस्तया। तस्माद् देशादपाक्रम्य चिन्तयामास वानरः॥ १॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, this is the forty-first chapter. And that monkey, honored by her and about to depart with words of praise, having withdrawn from that place, began to reflect.
अल्पशेषमिदं कार्यं दृष्टेयमसितेक्षणा। त्रीनुपायानतिक्रम्य चतुर्थ इह दृश्यते॥ २॥
“This task now remains little; this dark-eyed woman has been seen. Having gone beyond the three expedients, the fourth is seen here.”
न साम रक्षःसु गुणाय कल्पते न दानमर्थोपचितेषु युज्यते। न भेदसाध्या बलदर्पिता जनाः पराक्रमस्त्वेष ममेह रोचते॥ ३॥
“Conciliation does not serve as a means among the demons; a gift is not applicable among those enriched by wealth. People arrogant through strength are not to be won by dissension. But this exertion appeals to me here.”
न चास्य कार्यस्य पराक्रमादृते विनिश्चयः कश्चिदिहोपपद्यते। हतप्रवीराश्च रणे तु राक्षसाः कथंचिदीयुर्यदिहाद्य मार्दवम्॥ ४॥
And for this undertaking no definite resolution here comes about apart from force. And the rākṣasas, their foremost warriors slain in battle, would somehow show softness today here—if that were to happen.
कार्ये कर्मणि निर्वृत्ते यो बहून्यपि साधयेत्। पूर्वकार्याविरोधेन स कार्यं कर्तुमर्हति॥ ५॥
He who, when the principal task has been accomplished, could accomplish many others as well, without obstructing the earlier task—that man is fit to do so.
