27 passagesलक्ष्मणस्य तु तद्वाक्यं निशम्य परमाद्भुतम् । सुप्रीतश्चाभवद्रामो वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह ।। ७.५३.१ ।।
Having heard Lakshmana’s exceedingly wondrous words, Rama became greatly pleased and spoke these words.
दुर्लभस्त्वीदृशो बन्धुरस्मिन्काले विशेषतः । यादृशस्त्वं महाबुद्धेर्मम सौम्य मनो ऽनुगः ।। ७.५३.२ ।।
Such a kinsman is rare, especially at such a time as this: one such as you, O great-minded and gentle one, follows my mind. The transmitted form महाबुद्धेर्मम is construed literally as “of my great understanding, my”; its exact syntactic relation is uncertain, while the surrounding sense clearly praises Lakshmana as one who follows Rama’s mind.
यच्च मे हृदये किञ्चिद्वर्तते शुभलक्षण । तन्निशामय च श्रुत्वा कुरुष्व वचनं मम ।। ७.५३.३ ।।
And whatever is present in my heart, O auspicious-marked one, hear that; and, having heard it, do my bidding.
चत्वारो दिवसाः सौम्य कार्यं पौरजनस्य वै । अकुर्वाणस्य सौमित्रे तन्मे मर्माणि कृन्तति ।। ७.५३.४ ।।
For four days, O gentle one, the work concerning the citizens has remained undone; and, O son of Sumitra, this failure to do it cuts into my vital parts.
आहूयन्तां प्रकृतयः पुरोधा मन्त्रिणस्तथा । कार्यार्थिनश्च पुरुषाः स्त्रियश्च पुरुषर्षभ ।। ७.५३.५ ।।
Let the chief citizens be summoned, and the family priest, and likewise the ministers, and the men and the women who have business to present, O bull among men.
