6 passagesन्यस्तां सागरतोये वा पाताले वापि मैथिलीम्। आनयेयं तवादेशाच्छ्वेतामश्वतरीमिव॥ ५१॥
Even if Maithilī had been placed in the waters of the ocean or in the netherworld, at your command I would bring her back, like a white she-mule.
युक्तं यत्प्राप्नुयाद् राज्यं सुग्रीवः स्वर्गते मयि। अयुक्तं यदधर्मेण त्वयाहं निहतो रणे॥ ५२॥
It is fitting that Sugriva should obtain the kingdom when I have gone to heaven; but it is unfitting that I, by you and through unrighteousness, have been slain in battle.
काममेवंविधो लोकः कालेन विनियुज्यते। क्षमं चेद्भवता प्राप्तमुत्तरं साधु चिन्त्यताम्॥ ५३॥
Even so, such is the world: it is directed or allotted by time. If you have obtained a proper justification, let the answer be thoughtfully considered.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा परिशुष्कवक्त्रः शराभिघाताद् व्यथितो महात्मा। समीक्ष्य रामं रविसंनिकाशं तूष्णीं बभौ वानरराजसूनुः॥ ५४॥
Having spoken thus, the great-souled son of the monkey king, his mouth dried up and distressed by the arrow’s strike, looked at Rama, who resembled the sun, and remained silent.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये किष्किन्धाकाण्डे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे सप्तदशः सर्गः ॥४-१७॥
Thus ends the seventeenth chapter of the Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa in the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, the primordial epic, composed by a sage. The designation “Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa” is transmitted twice in the source.
The unabridged Sanskrit, 645 sargas, every verse numbered kanda.sarga.verse. Not a translation: this is the text every English witness is checked against, and the one the Sarvam pass translates. Whole-edition checksum is pinned through the TOC (corpus:check), not per page.
