अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04460–2.50.p04464
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04460

Sanskrit · 2.50.p04460

विशालान् कोसलान् रम्यान् यात्वा लक्ष्मण पूर्वजः । अयोध्याभिमुखो धीमान् प्राञ्ञ्लिर्वाक्वमब्रवीत् ॥२-५०-१॥

English · Meaning

Having traversed the broad and delightful lands of Kosala, the wise elder brother of Lakṣmaṇa, facing toward Ayodhyā, spoke these words with joined palms. The transmitted form “प्राञ्ञ्लिर्वाक्वमब्रवीत्” is not cleanly segmented; it most naturally preserves “प्राञ्जलिः वाक्यम् अब्रवीत्,” “with joined palms, he spoke words,” but that conditional segmentation is separate from the transmitted form.

2.50.p044601 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04461

Sanskrit · 2.50.p04461

आपृच्छे त्वाम् पुरीश्रेष्ठे काकुत्स्थपरिपालिते । दैवतानि च यानि त्वाम् पालयन्त्यावसन्ति च ॥२-५०-२॥

English · Meaning

I take leave of you, O foremost of cities, protected by the Kakutstha. And [I take leave of] the deities that protect you and dwell in you.

2.50.p044612 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04462

Sanskrit · 2.50.p04462

निवृत्तवनवासस्त्वामनृणो जगतीपतेः । पुनर्ध्रक्ष्यामि मात्रा च पित्रा च सह सम्गतः ॥२-५०-३॥

English · Meaning

When my forest exile has ended, and I am free from my obligation to the lord of the earth, I shall see you again, together with my mother and father. The transmitted form पुनर्ध्रक्ष्यामि is unusual; its certain intended sense is ‘I shall see again,’ while its exact written form is preserved here.

2.50.p044623 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04463

Sanskrit · 2.50.p04463

ततो रुधिरताम्राक्षो भुजमुद्यम्य दक्षिणम् । अश्रुपूर्णमुखो दीनोऽब्रवीज्जानपदम् जनम् ॥२-५०-४॥

English · Meaning

Then, his eyes copper-red with blood, he raised his right arm. With his face full of tears and distressed, he spoke to the people of the country.

2.50.p044634 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५०2.50.p04464

Sanskrit · 2.50.p04464

अनुक्रोशो दया चैव यथार्हम् मयि वह् कृतः । चिरम् दुःखस्य पापीयो गम्यतामर्थसिद्धये ॥२-५०-५॥

English · Meaning

Compassion and pity have been properly shown toward me. The form वह् is unresolved in the transmitted text: literally it may be read as an imperative related to ‘carry,’ while the context may conditionally suggest a form meaning ‘by you’ or ‘your.’ Conditional contextual reading: ‘Compassion and pity have properly been shown toward me by you.’ Prolonged sorrow is worse; let [us or you] proceed for the fulfillment of the purpose. The precise implied subject of गम्यताम् is not explicit.
