When Rama, who was devoted to his intrinsic nature (dharma) and the foremost among those who bring delight, had departed for the forest, Kausalya, herself distraught and weeping, spoke these words to her husband.
यद्यपित्रिषु लोकेषु प्रथितं ते मयद् यशः ।
सानुक्रोशो वदान्यश्च प्रियवादी च राघवः ॥२॥
सानुक्रोशो वदान्यश्च प्रियवादी च राघवः ॥२॥

ca rāghavaḥ sānukrośaḥ vadānyaḥ ca priyavādī (asti)
ca rāghavaḥ sānukrośaḥ vadānyaḥ ca priyavādī (asti)
2.
Although your fame is renowned throughout the three worlds, acknowledged even by me, and Rama is compassionate, generous, and speaks kindly.
कथं नरवरश्रेष्ठ पुत्रौ तौ सह सीतया ।
दुःखितौ सुखसंवृद्धौ वने दुःखं सहिष्यतः ॥३॥
दुःखितौ सुखसंवृद्धौ वने दुःखं सहिष्यतः ॥३॥

O best among men, how will those two sons, who have grown up in comfort, along with Sita, endure suffering and distress in the forest?
सा नूनं तरुणी श्यामा सुकुमारी सुखोचिता ।
कथमुष्णं च शीतं च मैथिली प्रसहिष्यते ॥४॥
कथमुष्णं च शीतं च मैथिली प्रसहिष्यते ॥४॥
4. sā nūnaṃ taruṇī śyāmā sukumārī sukhocitā ,

maithilī uṣṇam ca śītam ca katham prasahiṣyate
4.
She, certainly, is young, charming, very delicate, and accustomed to comfort. How will Maithili (Sītā) endure both heat and cold?
भुक्त्वाशनं विशालाक्षी सूपदंशान्वितं शुभम् ।
वन्यं नैवारमाहारं कथं सीतोपभोक्ष्यते ॥५॥
वन्यं नैवारमाहारं कथं सीतोपभोक्ष्यते ॥५॥

bhuktvā vanyam naivāram āhāram katham upabhokṣyate
5.
Having eaten excellent food accompanied by fine side dishes, how will the large-eyed Sītā partake of wild Nīvāra grain food from the forest?
गीतवादित्रनिर्घोषं श्रुत्वा शुभमनिन्दिता ।
कथं क्रव्यादसिंहानां शब्दं श्रोष्यत्यशोभनम् ॥६॥
कथं क्रव्यादसिंहानां शब्दं श्रोष्यत्यशोभनम् ॥६॥

kravyāda-siṃhānām aśobhanam śabdam katham śroṣyati
kravyāda-siṃhānām aśobhanam śabdam katham śroṣyati
6.
Having heard auspicious sounds of singing and musical instruments, how will the blameless Sītā hear the inauspicious sound of flesh-eating lions?
महेन्द्रध्वजसंकाशः क्व नु शेते महाभुजः ।
भुजं परिघसंकाशमुपधाय महाबलः ॥७॥
भुजं परिघसंकाशमुपधाय महाबलः ॥७॥
7. mahendradhvajasaṃkāśaḥ kva nu śete mahābhujaḥ ,

7.
Where, indeed, does the mighty-armed one (Rāma), majestic like Mahendra's banner and immensely powerful, now lie down, resting his arm, which resembles an iron club (as a pillow)?
पद्मवर्णं सुकेशान्तं पद्मनिःश्वासमुत्तमम् ।
कदा द्रक्ष्यामि रामस्य वदनं पुष्करेक्षणम् ॥८॥
कदा द्रक्ष्यामि रामस्य वदनं पुष्करेक्षणम् ॥८॥

uttamam puṣkarekṣaṇam vadanam drakṣyāmi
uttamam puṣkarekṣaṇam vadanam drakṣyāmi
8.
When will I see Rama's face, which is the color of a lotus, adorned with beautiful hair, possesses the finest lotus-like breath, and has eyes like lotuses?
वज्रसारमयं नूनं हृदयं मे न संशयः ।
अपश्यन्त्या न तं यद्वै फलतीदं सहस्रधा ॥९॥
अपश्यन्त्या न तं यद्वै फलतीदं सहस्रधा ॥९॥
9. vajrasāramayaṃ nūnaṃ hṛdayaṃ me na saṃśayaḥ ,

nūnam me hṛdayam vajrasāramayam na saṃśayaḥ
yadvai tam apaśyantyā idam na sahasradhā phalati
yadvai tam apaśyantyā idam na sahasradhā phalati
9.
My heart is certainly made of diamond-essence, there is no doubt (saṃśaya) about it. Because, even when I do not see him, this (heart) does not shatter into a thousand pieces.
यदि पञ्चदशे वर्षे राघवः पुनरेष्यति ।
जह्याद् राज्यं च कोशं च भरतेनोपभोक्ष्यते ॥१०॥
जह्याद् राज्यं च कोशं च भरतेनोपभोक्ष्यते ॥१०॥
10. yadi pañcadaśe varṣe rāghavaḥ punareṣyati ,

jahyād rājyaṃ ca kośaṃ ca bharatenopabhokṣyate.

rājyam ca kośam ca jahyāt bharatena upabhokṣyate
rājyam ca kośam ca jahyāt bharatena upabhokṣyate
10.
If Rama (rāghava) returns in the fifteenth year, he would have to abandon the kingdom and the treasury, for they would have been enjoyed by Bharata.
एवं कनीयसा भ्रात्रा भुक्तं राज्यं विशां पते ।
भ्राता ज्येष्ठा वरिष्ठाश्च किमर्थं नावमंस्यते ॥११॥
भ्राता ज्येष्ठा वरिष्ठाश्च किमर्थं नावमंस्यते ॥११॥
11. evaṃ kanīyasā bhrātrā bhuktaṃ rājyaṃ viśāṃ pate ,
bhrātā jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāśca kimarthaṃ nāvamaṃsyate.
bhrātā jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāśca kimarthaṃ nāvamaṃsyate.
11.
evam kanīyasā bhrātrā bhuktam rājyam viśām pate
bhrātā jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāḥ ca kim artham na avamansyate
bhrātā jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāḥ ca kim artham na avamansyate
11.

jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāḥ bhrātā kim artham na avamansyate ca
jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāḥ bhrātā kim artham na avamansyate ca
11.
O lord of the people (viśām pate)! Thus, the kingdom has been enjoyed by the younger brother. Why would the elder (jyeṣṭha), the most excellent (variṣṭha) brother not be dishonored?
न परेणाहृतं भक्ष्यं व्याघ्रः खादितुमिच्छति ।
एवमेव नरव्याघ्रः परलीढं न मंस्यते ॥१२॥
एवमेव नरव्याघ्रः परलीढं न मंस्यते ॥१२॥
12. na pareṇāhṛtaṃ bhakṣyaṃ vyāghraḥ khāditumicchati ,
evameva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍhaṃ na maṃsyate.
evameva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍhaṃ na maṃsyate.
12.
na pareṇa āhṛtam bhakṣyam vyāghraḥ khāditum icchati
| evam eva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍham na maṃsyate
| evam eva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍham na maṃsyate
12.
vyāghraḥ pareṇa āhṛtam bhakṣyam na khāditum icchati
evam eva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍham na maṃsyate
evam eva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍham na maṃsyate
12.
Just as a tiger does not wish to eat prey brought by another, so too, a tiger among men (naravyāghra) will not accept something that has been enjoyed by another.
हविराज्यं पुरोडाशाः कुशा यूपाश्च खादिराः ।
नैतानि यातयामानि कुर्वन्ति पुनरध्वरे ॥१३॥
नैतानि यातयामानि कुर्वन्ति पुनरध्वरे ॥१३॥
13. havirājyaṃ puroḍāśāḥ kuśā yūpāśca khādirāḥ ,
naitāni yātayāmāni kurvanti punaradhvare.
naitāni yātayāmāni kurvanti punaradhvare.
13.
havirājyam puroḍāśāḥ kuśā yūpāḥ ca khādirāḥ
| na etāni yātayāmāni kurvanti punar adhvare
| na etāni yātayāmāni kurvanti punar adhvare
13.
havirājyam puroḍāśāḥ kuśā ca khādirāḥ yūpāḥ
etāni yātayāmāni na punar adhvare kurvanti
etāni yātayāmāni na punar adhvare kurvanti
13.
Sacrificial oblations (havis) and ghee (ājya), sacrificial cakes (puroḍāśa), sacred kuśa grass, and sacrificial posts (yūpa) made of khadira wood - these, once used and thus stale (yātayāma), are not employed again in a sacrifice (adhvara).
तथा ह्यात्तमिदं राज्यं हृतसारां सुरामिव ।
नाभिमन्तुमलं रामो नष्टसोममिवाध्वरम् ॥१४॥
नाभिमन्तुमलं रामो नष्टसोममिवाध्वरम् ॥१४॥
14. tathā hyāttamidaṃ rājyaṃ hṛtasārāṃ surāmiva ,
nābhimantumalaṃ rāmo naṣṭasomamivādhvaram.
nābhimantumalaṃ rāmo naṣṭasomamivādhvaram.
14.
tathā hi āttam idam rājyam hṛtasārām surām iva |
na abhimantum alam rāmaḥ naṣṭasomam iva adhvaram
na abhimantum alam rāmaḥ naṣṭasomam iva adhvaram
14.
tathā hi idam rājyam hṛtasārām surām iva āttam
rāmaḥ naṣṭasomam adhvaram iva abhimantum na alam
rāmaḥ naṣṭasomam adhvaram iva abhimantum na alam
14.
Indeed, this kingdom, having been seized (ātta), is like liquor (surā) from which the essence (sāra) has been extracted. Rama is not able to accept (abhimantum) it, just as one would not accept a sacrifice (adhvara) whose soma has been lost (naṣṭasoma).
नैवंविधमसत्कारं राघवो मर्षयिष्यति ।
बलवानिव शार्दूलो बालधेरभिमर्शनम् ॥१५॥
बलवानिव शार्दूलो बालधेरभिमर्शनम् ॥१५॥
15. naivaṃvidhamasatkāraṃ rāghavo marṣayiṣyati ,
balavāniva śārdūlo bāladherabhimarśanam.
balavāniva śārdūlo bāladherabhimarśanam.
15.
na evamvidham asatkāram rāghavaḥ marṣayiṣyati
| balavān iva śārdūlaḥ bāladheḥ abhimarśanam
| balavān iva śārdūlaḥ bāladheḥ abhimarśanam
15.
rāghavaḥ evamvidham asatkāram na marṣayiṣyati balavān śārdūlaḥ
bāladheḥ abhimarśanam iva (na marṣayiṣyati - implied)
bāladheḥ abhimarśanam iva (na marṣayiṣyati - implied)
15.
Rama (Rāghava) will not tolerate such a dishonor (asatkāra), just as a mighty tiger (śārdūla) would not tolerate the touching (abhimarśana) of its tail.
स तादृशः सिंहबलो वृषभाक्षो नरर्षभः ।
स्वयमेव हतः पित्रा जलजेनात्मजो यथा ॥१६॥
स्वयमेव हतः पित्रा जलजेनात्मजो यथा ॥१६॥
16. sa tādṛśaḥ siṃhabalo vṛṣabhākṣo nararṣabhaḥ ,

svayameva hataḥ pitrā jalajenātmajo yathā.
16.

16.

pitrā svayam eva hataḥ yathā jalajena ātmajaḥ
pitrā svayam eva hataḥ yathā jalajena ātmajaḥ
16.
Such a one, who possessed the strength of a lion, had eyes like a bull, and was the best among men, was killed by his own father, just as a lotus (born from water) is destroyed by water.
द्विजाति चरितो धर्मः शास्त्रदृष्टः सनातनः ।
यदि ते धर्मनिरते त्वया पुत्रे विवासिते ॥१७॥
यदि ते धर्मनिरते त्वया पुत्रे विवासिते ॥१७॥
17. dvijāti carito dharmaḥ śāstradṛṣṭaḥ sanātanaḥ ,
yadi te dharmanirate tvayā putre vivāsite.
yadi te dharmanirate tvayā putre vivāsite.
17.

dvijāti caritaḥ śāstradṛṣṭaḥ sanātanaḥ dharmaḥ
tvayā putre vivāsite,
dvijāti caritaḥ śāstradṛṣṭaḥ sanātanaḥ dharmaḥ
17.
What becomes of the eternal "dharma" (natural law), which is practiced by the twice-born and prescribed in the scriptures, if, O you who are devoted to "dharma", your son has been exiled by you?
गतिरेवाक् पतिर्नार्या द्वितीया गतिरात्मजः ।
तृतीया ज्ञातयो राजंश्चतुर्थी नेह विद्यते ॥१८॥
तृतीया ज्ञातयो राजंश्चतुर्थी नेह विद्यते ॥१८॥
18. gatirevāk patirnāryā dvitīyā gatirātmajaḥ ,
tṛtīyā jñātayo rājaṃścaturthī neha vidyate.
tṛtīyā jñātayo rājaṃścaturthī neha vidyate.
18.
gatiḥ eva hi patiḥ nāryāḥ dvitīyā gatiḥ ātmajaḥ
tṛtīyā jñātayaḥ rājan ca caturthī na iha vidyate
tṛtīyā jñātayaḥ rājan ca caturthī na iha vidyate
18.
rājan,
patiḥ eva hi nāryāḥ gatiḥ; dvitīyā gatiḥ ātmajaḥ; tṛtīyā jñātayaḥ; ca iha caturthī na vidyate
patiḥ eva hi nāryāḥ gatiḥ; dvitīyā gatiḥ ātmajaḥ; tṛtīyā jñātayaḥ; ca iha caturthī na vidyate
18.
Indeed, a husband is the only refuge for a woman; a son (ātmaja) is her second refuge. Relatives are the third, O King. There is no fourth refuge here.
तत्र त्वं चैव मे नास्ति रामश्च वनमाश्रितः ।
न वनं गन्तुमिच्छामि सर्वथा हि हता त्वया ॥१९॥
न वनं गन्तुमिच्छामि सर्वथा हि हता त्वया ॥१९॥
19. tatra tvaṃ caiva me nāsti rāmaśca vanamāśritaḥ ,
na vanaṃ gantumicchāmi sarvathā hi hatā tvayā.
na vanaṃ gantumicchāmi sarvathā hi hatā tvayā.
19.
tatra tvam ca eva me na asti rāmaḥ ca vanam āśritaḥ
na vanam gantum icchāmi sarvathā hi hatā tvayā
na vanam gantum icchāmi sarvathā hi hatā tvayā
19.
tatra tvam ca eva me na asti; ca rāmaḥ vanam āśritaḥ.
na vanam gantum icchāmi; hi sarvathā tvayā hatā
na vanam gantum icchāmi; hi sarvathā tvayā hatā
19.
You are indeed not there for me, and Rama has resorted to the forest. I do not wish to go to the forest, for I am completely ruined by you.
हतं त्वया राज्यमिदं सराष्ट्रं हतस्तथात्मा सह मन्त्रिभिश्च ।

20.
This kingdom, along with its entire territory, has been ruined by you. My very self (ātman) has been destroyed, along with my ministers. I am ruined, along with my sons, and the citizens are also destroyed. Yet, your son and your wife are greatly delighted.
इमां गिरं दारुणशब्दसंश्रितां निशम्य राजापि मुमोह दुःखितः ।

21. imāṃ giraṃ dāruṇaśabdasaṃśritāṃ niśamya rājāpi mumoha duḥkhitaḥ ,

tataḥ saḥ pārthivaḥ śokam praviveśa
punaḥ ca tadā api svaduṣkṛtam asmarat
21.
Having heard this speech, which was filled with harsh words, the distressed king himself became bewildered. Thereupon, that ruler entered into sorrow, and he then remembered his own evil deed (karma) again.
