अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२2.12.p02908

Sanskrit · 2.12.p02908

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे द्वादशः सर्गः ॥२-१२॥ ततः श्रुत्वा महाराजः कैकेय्या दारुणं वचः। चिन्तामभिसमापेदे मुहूर्तं प्रतताप च॥ १॥

English · Meaning

The twelfth canto of the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa. ॥2.12॥ Then, having heard Kaikeyī's terrible words, the great king became overwhelmed with anxiety and suffered for a moment as well. ॥1॥

2.12.p029081 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२2.12.p02909

Sanskrit · 2.12.p02909

किं नु मेऽयं दिवास्वप्नश्चित्तमोहोऽपि वा मम। अनुभूतोपसर्गो वा मनसो वाप्युपद्रवः॥ २॥

English · Meaning

“What indeed is this for me: a daytime dream, or even a delusion of my mind? Or is it an affliction I have experienced, or a disturbance of the mind?” ॥2॥

2.12.p029092 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२2.12.p02910

Sanskrit · 2.12.p02910

इति संचिन्त्य तद् राजा नाध्यगच्छत् तदासुखम्। प्रतिलभ्य ततः संज्ञां कैकेयीवाक्यतापितः॥ ३॥

English · Meaning

Having reflected thus, the king did not attain happiness then. The transmitted sequence तद् राजा is grammatically irregular as written; it may preserve or represent “then the king” (tadā rājā), but that is a conditional interpretation, not a correction of the supplied text. Having then regained consciousness, he was tormented by Kaikeyī's words. ॥3॥

2.12.p029103 / 50

व्यथितो विक्लवश्चैव व्याघ्रीं दृष्ट्वा यथा मृगः। असंवृतायामासीनो जगत्यां दीर्घमुच्छ्वसन्॥ ४॥

English · Meaning

Distressed and agitated, he sat on the uncovered ground, breathing deeply, like a deer upon seeing a tigress.

Like a highly venomous snake restrained in a circle by spells, the lord of men, enraged, uttered the words, “Ah! Fie!”
