16 passagesएतद् वचस्तस्य निशम्य माता सुधर्म्यमव्यग्रमविक्लवं च। मृतेव संज्ञां प्रतिलभ्य देवी समीक्ष्य रामं पुनरित्युवाच॥ ५१॥
Having heard these words of his—righteous, composed, and undismayed—the mother, the goddess-like lady, as though dead having regained consciousness, looked at Rama and said again:
यथैव ते पुत्र पिता तथाहं गुरुः स्वधर्मेण सुहृत्तया च। न त्वानुजानामि न मां विहाय सुदुःखितामर्हसि पुत्र गन्तुम्॥ ५२॥
“Just as your father, son, is your guru, so am I, by my own duty and by affection. I do not permit you to go; son, you ought not go, abandoning me in profound distress.”
किं जीवितेनेह विना त्वया मे लोकेन वा किं स्वधयामृतेन। श्रेयो मुहूर्तं तव संनिधानं ममैव कृत्स्नादपि जीवलोकात्॥ ५३॥
What use is life here to me without you? And what use is the world—or svadhā and immortality—without you? Your presence for even a moment is dearer to me than the entire world of living beings.
नरैरिवोल्काभिरपोह्यमानो महागजो ध्वान्तमभिप्रविष्टः। भूयः प्रजज्वाल विलापमेवं निशम्य रामः करुणं जनन्याः॥ ५४॥
Like a great elephant driven away by men with firebrands and having entered the darkness, Rama again blazed up with grief after hearing his mother’s piteous lament.
स मातरं चैव विसंज्ञकल्पा- मार्तं च सौमित्रिमभिप्रतप्तम्। धर्मे स्थितो धर्म्यमुवाच वाक्यं यथा स एवार्हति तत्र वक्तुम्॥ ५५॥
He, standing in righteousness, spoke a righteous statement to his mother, who was as if unconscious, and to the afflicted and deeply tormented Saumitri, just as he alone was fit to speak there.
