50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे प्रथमः सर्गः ॥२-१॥ गच्छता मातुलकुलं भरतेन तदानघः। शत्रुघ्नो नित्यशत्रुघ्नो नीतः प्रीतिपुरस्कृतः॥ १॥
In the first chapter of the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa’s Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa: while Bharata was going to his maternal uncle’s household, the sinless Satrughna, the constant destroyer of enemies, was taken along, with affection given precedence.
स तत्र न्यवसद् भ्रात्रा सह सत्कारसत्कृतः। मातुलेनाश्वपतिना पुत्रस्नेहेन लालितः॥ २॥
He dwelt there with his brother, honored with respectful hospitality, and was cherished by his maternal uncle, Aśvapati, with affection like that shown to a son.
तत्रापि निवसन्तौ तौ तर्प्यमाणौ च कामतः। भ्रातरौ स्मरतां वीरौ वृद्धं दशरथं नृपम्॥ ३॥
There too, while dwelling there and being gratified according to their desires, the two heroic brothers remembered the aged king Daśaratha. The transmitted form स्मरतां is formally ambiguous; in context it is understood as “remembered,” though it can also be read as an exhortation, “let the two remember.”
राजापि तौ महातेजाः सस्मार प्रोषितौ सुतौ। उभौ भरतशत्रुघ्नौ महेन्द्रवरुणोपमौ॥ ४॥
The king too, of great brilliance, remembered those two sons who were away: both Bharata and Śatrughna, comparable to Mahendra and Varuṇa.
सर्व एव तु तस्येष्टाश्चत्वारः पुरुषर्षभाः। स्वशरीराद् विनिर्वृत्ताश्चत्वार इव बाहवः॥ ५॥
All four, indeed, were dear to him, those four foremost of men; they had emerged from his own body like four arms.
