7 passagesस्थिरं हि नूनं हृदयं ममायसं न भिद्यते यद् भुवि नो विदीर्यते। अनेन दुःखेन च देहमर्पितं ध्रुवं ह्यकाले मरणं न विद्यते॥ ५१॥
Surely my heart is firm, indeed made of iron, since it does not break and is not torn apart on the earth by this sorrow; and though the body has been brought low by this grief, certainly untimely death does not exist.
इदं तु दुःखं यदनर्थकानि मे व्रतानि दानानि च संयमाश्च हि। तपश्च तप्तं यदपत्यकाम्यया सुनिष्फलं बीजमिवोप्तमूषरे॥ ५२॥
This, however, is the sorrow: that my vows, gifts, and disciplines are fruitless, and that the austerity I performed out of desire for a child is utterly fruitless, like a seed sown in barren ground.
यदि ह्यकाले मरणं यदृच्छया लभेत कश्चिद् गुरुदुःखकर्शितः। गताहमद्यैव परेतसंसदं विना त्वया धेनुरिवात्मजेन वै॥ ५३॥
If someone worn down by great sorrow could, by chance, obtain death at an untimely hour, I would go today itself to the assembly of the departed, without you—like a cow without its calf, indeed.
अथापि किं जीवितमद्य मे वृथा त्वया विना चन्द्रनिभाननप्रभ। अनुव्रजिष्यामि वनं त्वयैव गौः सुदुर्बला वत्समिवाभिकांक्षया॥ ५४॥
Yet what use is life today for me, futile as it is without you, O radiant one whose face resembles the moon? I shall follow you alone into the forest, like a very weak cow longing for its calf.
भृशमसुखममर्षिता तदा बहु विललाप समीक्ष्य राघवम्। व्यसनमुपनिशाम्य सा महत् सुतमिव बद्धमवेक्ष्य किंनरी॥ ५५॥
Then, deeply distressed and unable to bear it, she lamented greatly on seeing Rāghava. Realizing the great calamity, she looked upon him as though he were her bound son, like a female kinnara seeing her son bound.
