अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04992–2.63.p04996
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04992

Sanskrit · 2.63.p04992

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे त्रिषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥२-६३॥ प्रतिबुद्धो मुहुर् तेन शोक उपहत चेतनः । अथ राजा दशरथः स चिन्ताम् अभ्यपद्यत ॥२-६३-१॥

English · Meaning

In the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, this is the sixty-third canto. Having awakened again and again, his consciousness overcome by grief, King Daśaratha then fell into anxious thought.

2.63.p049921 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04993

Sanskrit · 2.63.p04993

राम लक्ष्मणयोः चैव विवासात् वासव उपमम् । आविवेश उपसर्गः तम् तमः सूर्यम् इव आसुरम् ॥२-६३-२॥

English · Meaning

Because of the exile of Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, an affliction comparable to [something associated with] Vāsava entered him. It was like demonic darkness entering the sun. The transmitted phrase “comparable to Vāsava” is grammatically clear in form but its precise syntactic attachment is uncertain; conditionally, it may describe the king as one comparable to Vāsava or the magnitude of the affliction.

2.63.p049932 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04994

Sanskrit · 2.63.p04994

सभार्ये निर्गते रामे कौसल्याम् कोसलेश्वरः । विवक्षुरसितापाङ्गाम् स्मृवा दुष्कृतमात्मनः ॥२-६३-३॥

English · Meaning

When Rāma had departed with his wife, the lord of Kosala, wishing to speak to Kausalyā, whose sidelong glances were dark, remembered his own evil deed. The supplied form स्मृवा is irregular; in this context it conveys “remembering” or “having remembered.”

2.63.p049943 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04995

Sanskrit · 2.63.p04995

स राजा रजनीम् षष्ठीम् रामे प्रव्रजिते वनम् । अर्ध रात्रे दशरथः सम्स्मरन् दुष्कृतम् कृतम् ॥२-६३-४॥

English · Meaning

That king, on the sixth night after Rāma had gone forth to the forest, at midnight—Daśaratha, recalling the evil deed that had been done—[the sentence continues in the following verse].

2.63.p049954 / 50
अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_६३2.63.p04996

Sanskrit · 2.63.p04996

स राजा पुत्रशोकार्तः स्मरन् दुष्कृतमात्मनः । कौसल्याम् पुत्र शोक आर्ताम् इदम् वचनम् अब्रवीत् ॥२-६३-५॥

English · Meaning

That king, afflicted with grief for his son, recalling his own evil deed, spoke these words to Kausalyā, who was distressed by grief for her son.
