22 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे नवमः सर्गः ॥१-९॥ एतच्छ्रुत्वा रहः सूतो राजानमिदमब्रवीत् । श्रूयतां तत् पुरावृत्तं पुराणे च मया श्रुतम् ॥१-९-१॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bāla Kāṇḍa, this is the ninth canto. Having heard this, the Sūta spoke these words to the king in private: “Let that ancient account be heard, which was also heard by me in the Purāṇa.”
ऋत्विग्भिरुपदिष्टोऽयं पुरावृत्तो मया श्रुतः । सनत्कुमारो भगवान् पूर्वं कथितवान् कथाम् ॥१-९-२॥
This ancient account, taught by the officiating priests, was heard by me. The venerable Sanatkumāra had formerly narrated the story.
ऋषीणां संनिधौ राजंस्तव पुत्रागमं प्रति । काश्यपस्य च पुत्रोऽस्ति विभाण्डक इति श्रुतः ॥१-९-३॥
In the presence of sages, O king, concerning the coming of your son: there is also a son of Kaśyapa, heard to be called Vibhaṇḍaka.
ऋश्यशृङ्ग इति ख्यातस्तस्य पुत्रो भविष्यति । स वने नित्यसंवृद्धो मुनिर्वनचरः सदा ॥१-९-४॥
His son will be known as Ṛśyaśṛṅga. He, continually raised in the forest, will always be a forest-roaming sage.
नान्यं जानाति विप्रेन्द्रो नित्यं पित्रनुवर्तनात् । द्वैविध्यं ब्रह्मचर्यस्य भविष्यति महात्मनः ॥१-९-५॥
The foremost of Brahmins knows no other, because he constantly follows his father. The great-souled one's brahmacarya will become twofold.
