35. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca bhūpate vayam brāhmaṇāḥ praṇāmamātrasaṃtuṣṭāḥ
praṇāmena eva tuṣyāmaḥ saḥ eva bhavatā kṛtaḥ
35. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "O King, we Brahmins are content merely with a salutation. We are pleased only by a salutation, and that very act has been done by you."
पातुं त्वमेव जानासि राज्यं भाति तवैव च ।
भवत्वेतत्तवैवेह ब्राह्मणाः क्व महीभृतः ॥ ३६ ॥
pātuṃ tvameva jānāsi rājyaṃ bhāti tavaiva ca ,
bhavatvetattavaiveha brāhmaṇāḥ kva mahībhṛtaḥ 36
36. pātum tvam eva jānāsi rājyam bhāti tava eva ca
bhavatu etat tava eva iha brāhmaṇāḥ kva mahībhṛtaḥ
36. tvam eva rājyam pātum jānāsi ca tava eva bhāti
etat iha tava eva bhavatu brāhmaṇāḥ mahībhṛtaḥ kva
36. You alone know how to protect this kingdom, and it truly belongs to you. Let this be yours alone here. What business do Brahmins have with royal power?
दशरथ उवाच ।
कियन्मात्रं तु राज्यं स्यादिति लज्जामहे मुने ।

37. daśarathaḥ uvāca kiyanmātram tu rājyam syāt iti lajjāmahe
mune prakarṣeṇa atra tena īśa yathā jānāsi tat kuru
37. daśarathaḥ uvāca mune kiyanmātram tu rājyam syāt
iti lajjāmahe tena atra īśa yathā jānāsi tat kuru
37. Daśaratha said: "O sage, we feel ashamed (to even suggest) how limited this kingdom would be (for your supervision). Therefore, O master, please do as you know best in this matter."
श्रीवाल्मीकिरुवाच ।
इत्युक्तवति भूपाले रामः पुष्पाञ्जलिं ददत् ।

38. śrīḥ vālmīkiḥ uvāca rāmaḥ iti ukta-vati bhūpāle puṣpa-añjaliṃ
dadat praṇataḥ tasya mahā-guroḥ purast vākyaṃ uvāca
38. Śrī Vālmīki spoke: When the king had finished speaking thus, Rāma, respectfully bowing, offered a handful of flowers and spoke these words in front of that great preceptor (guru).
निरुत्तरीकृतमहाराज ब्रह्मन्प्रणौमि ते ।
प्रणाममात्रसारोऽहं रामः पादाविमौ प्रभो ॥ ३९ ॥
niruttarīkṛtamahārāja brahmanpraṇaumi te ,

39. niruttarī-kṛta-mahārāja brahman praṇami te
praṇāma-mātra-sāraḥ aham rāmaḥ pādau imau prabho
39. brahman niruttarī-kṛta-mahārāja te praṇami aham rāmaḥ
praṇāma-mātra-sāraḥ (asmi) prabho imau pādau (te)
39. O Brahman, you who have rendered the great king speechless, I bow to you! O Lord, I, Rāma, whose essence is merely obeisance, [bow to] these two feet [of yours].
इत्युक्त्वा पादयोस्तस्य शिरोवन्दनपूर्वकम् ।

40. iti uktvā pādayoḥ tasya śiras-vandana-pūrvakam

40. iti uktvā śiras-vandana-pūrvakam tasya pādayoḥ añjali-puṣpāṇi tatyāja,
himānī gireḥ vanaṃ iva
40. Having said this, after bowing his head at his (Viśvāmitra's) feet, he released the flowers from his cupped hands, just as snow (melts) from a mountain forest.
आनन्दबाष्पसंपूर्णनयनो नयकोविदः ।
गुरुं परमया भक्त्या प्रणनाम पुनःपुनः ॥ ४१ ॥
ānandabāṣpasaṃpūrṇanayano nayakovidaḥ ,

41. ānanda-bāṣpa-saṃpūrṇa-nayanaḥ naya-kovidaḥ

41. ānanda-bāṣpa-saṃpūrṇa-nayanaḥ naya-kovidaḥ
gurum paramayā bhaktyā punar punar praṇanāma
41. With his eyes full of tears of joy, and being skilled in prudence, he bowed again and again to his preceptor (guru) with supreme devotion (bhakti).
शत्रुघ्नो लक्ष्मणश्चैव तथान्ये तत्समाश्च ये ।
निकटस्थास्तथैवाशु ते प्रणेमुर्मुनीश्वरम् ॥ ४२ ॥
śatrughno lakṣmaṇaścaiva tathānye tatsamāśca ye ,

42. śatrughnaḥ lakṣmaṇaḥ ca eva tathā anye tat-samāḥ ca

42. śatrughnaḥ lakṣmaṇaḥ ca eva tathā ye anye tat-samāḥ
ca nikaṭasthāḥ te tathā eva āśu munīśvaram praṇemuḥ
42. Śatrughna, Lakṣmaṇa, and others who were similar to them and standing nearby, quickly bowed down to the chief of sages.
दूरप्रणामैर्दूरस्थाः पुष्पाञ्जलिसमीरणैः ।
राजानो राजपुत्राश्च प्रणेमुर्मुनयश्च तम् ॥ ४३ ॥
dūrapraṇāmairdūrasthāḥ puṣpāñjalisamīraṇaiḥ ,

43. dūrapraṇāmaiḥ dūrasthāḥ puṣpāñjalisamīraṇaiḥ

43. dūrasthāḥ rājānaḥ rājaputrāḥ ca munayaḥ ca
dūrapraṇāmaiḥ puṣpāñjalisamīraṇaiḥ tam praṇemuḥ
43. Those standing far away - kings, princes, and sages - bowed down to him with salutations from a distance and by showering handfuls of flowers.
अस्मिन्नवसरे तत्र कुसुमाञ्जलिवर्षणैः ।
हिमैरिव हिमाद्रीन्द्रो मुनिरन्तर्धिमाययौ ॥ ४४ ॥
asminnavasare tatra kusumāñjalivarṣaṇaiḥ ,

44. asmin avasare tatra kusumāñjalivarṣaṇaiḥ
himaiḥ iva himādrīndraḥ muniḥ antardhim āyayau
44. asmin avasare tatra kusumāñjalivarṣaṇaiḥ
himaiḥ iva himādrīndraḥ muniḥ antardhim āyayau
44. At this occasion, there, amidst the showering of handfuls of flowers, just as the lord of snowy mountains (Himālaya) vanishes amidst snow, the sage disappeared.
अथ शान्ते सभाक्षोमे प्रणामनिवहे तथा ।
संस्मरञ्छासनं किंचित्सत्ये कृष्णसिताशयम् ॥ ४५ ॥
atha śānte sabhākṣome praṇāmanivahe tathā ,

45. atha sabhākṣome ca praṇāmanivahe ca śānte
kiṃcit kṛṣṇasitāśayam śāsanam satye saṃsmaran
45. Then, when the commotion of the assembly and the multitude of salutations had thus subsided, (someone was) recalling a certain instruction concerning truth (satye), which had both dark and white aspects (kṛṣṇasitāśayam).
मुनिः कुसुमराशिं तं बाहुभ्यां प्रविचाल्य सः ।

muniḥ kusumarāśiṃ taṃ bāhubhyāṃ pravicālya saḥ ,

46. muniḥ kusumarāśim tam bāhubhyām pravicālya saḥ
mukham saṃdarśayāmāsa sitābhrāt iva candramāḥ
46. saḥ muniḥ tam kusumarāśim bāhubhyām pravicālya
sitābhrāt candramāḥ iva mukham saṃdarśayāmāsa
46. The sage, having moved that pile of flowers with his two arms, revealed his face, just as the moon emerges from a white cloud.
शान्ते सिद्धवचोराशौ तथा दुन्दुभिनिःस्वने ।
नभःकुसुमवर्षे च सभाकलकले तथा ॥ ४७ ॥

nabhaḥkusumavarṣe ca sabhākalakale tathā
47. siddhavacorāśau tathā dundubhinisvane ca
nabhaḥkusumavarṣe tathā sabhākalakale śānte
47. When the multitude of the perfected ones' (siddha) pronouncements, the sound of kettledrums, the rain of flowers from the sky, and the commotion of the assembly had all quieted down.
प्रणामानन्तरं तस्मिन्रामाद्यैः स्वसभाजने ।

śāntavāta iva ambhode jane saumyatvam āgate
48. rāmādyaiḥ svasabhājane tasmin praṇāmānantaram
śāntavāta iva ambhode jane saumyatvam āgate
48. After Rama and others offered their salutations to him (Viśvāmitra) in his assembly, and when the people, like a cloud in calm wind, had achieved gentleness.
आकर्णयन्साधुवादं विश्वामित्रं मृदुस्वनम् ।
उवाचेदमनिन्द्यात्मा वसिष्ठो मुनिनायकः ॥ ४९ ॥

49. vasiṣṭhaḥ anindyātmā munināyakaḥ mṛdusvanam
sādhuvādam viśvāmitram ākarṇayan idam uvāca
49. Listening to Viśvāmitra utter soft-voiced words of appreciation, Vasiṣṭha, whose spirit (ātman) was blameless, the leader among sages, spoke the following.
मुने गाधिकुलाम्भोज वामदेव निमे क्रतो ।
भरद्वाज पुलस्त्यात्रे घृष्टे नारद शाण्डिले ॥ ५० ॥
mune gādhikulāmbhoja vāmadeva nime krato ,

50. mune gādhikulāmbhoja vāmadeva nime krato
bharadvāja pulastya ātre ghṛṣṭe nārada śāṇḍile
50. O sage, O lotus of Gādhi's family, O Vāmadeva, O Nimi, O Kratu, O Bharadvāja, O Pulastya, O Atri, O Ghṛṣṭa, O Nārada, O Śāṇḍilya!
हे भासभृगुभारण्डवत्सवात्स्यायनादयः ।

51. he bhāsabhṛgubhāraṇḍavatsavātsyāyanādayaḥ munayaḥ
bhavadbhiḥ etat tuccham matvacaḥ nu śrutam
51. O Bhāsa, Bhṛgu, Bhāraṇḍa, Vatsa, Vātsyāyana, and other sages, have these insignificant words of mine indeed been heard by you?
यदत्रानुचितं किंचित्तदनुग्रहतोऽधुना ।

durartham vigatārtham vā bhavantaḥ kathayantu me
52. yat atra kiṃcit anucitam durartham vā vigatārtham
bhavantaḥ adhunā anugrahataḥ me kathayantu
52. Whatever here is unsuitable in any way, or has an obscure or lost meaning, may you now, by your grace, please inform me of it.
सभ्या ऊचुः ।

53. sabhyāḥ ūcuḥ brahman vasiṣṭhavacane paramārthaikaśālini
durarthaḥ bhavati iti adya nava eva khalu gīḥ śrutā
53. The assembly members said: 'O Brahmin, the notion that there could be an obscure meaning in Vasiṣṭha's words, which uniquely embody the supreme truth, is truly a novel statement heard today!'
यत्संभृतमनन्तेन जन्मदोषेण नो मलम् ।
तत्प्रमृष्टं त्वयेहाद्य हेम्नामिव हविर्भुजा ॥ ५४ ॥
yatsaṃbhṛtamanantena janmadoṣeṇa no malam ,

54. he adya iha anantena janmadoṣeṇa naḥ yat malam
saṃbhṛtam tat tvayā havirbhujā hemnām iva pramṛṣṭam
54. The impurity which we accumulated due to endless (ananta) defects of repeated birth (saṃsāra) has been completely cleansed by you here today, just as gold is purified by fire.
ब्रह्मबृंहितया वाचा विभो विकसिता वयम् ।
कुमुदानीन्दुदीप्त्येव परमामृतशीतया ॥ ५५ ॥

kumudāni indudīptyā iva paramāmṛtaśītayā
55. vibho vayam brahmabṛṃhitayā paramāmṛtaśītayā
vācā indudīptyā kumudāni iva vikasitāḥ
55. O Lord (vibhu), we have blossomed by your word (vāc) which is amplified by Brahman (brahman) and supremely cool like nectar (amṛta), just as water lilies blossom by the light of the moon.
सर्वसत्त्वमहाबोधदायिनं मुनिनायकम् ।

56. We, these sages, bow down to you, who are the giver of great enlightenment to all beings, the leader of sages, and our exclusive guru (guru).

57. śrīvālmīkiḥ uvāca iti uktvā te punaḥ munināthāya "namaḥ
te" iti ekaśabdena tāreṇa abdaravaujasā vadantaḥ
57. Śrī Vālmīki said: Having said this, they (the sages) again, with a single, loud word and with the might of a cloud's roar, said to the lord of sages, 'Salutations to you!'
अर्वाक्पुष्पाञ्जलिव्रातैः खात्सिद्धैः सममुज्झितैः ।

58. khāt siddhaiḥ samam arvāk puṣpāñjalivrātaiḥ ujjhitaiḥ
abdāḥ himaiḥ acalam iva vasiṣṭham pūrayāmāsuḥ
58. From the sky, the Siddhas simultaneously showered down copious flower offerings upon Vasishtha, filling him just as clouds cover a mountain with snow.
इत्थं दशरथं भूपं शशंसुश्चाथ राघवम् ।

59. rāghavodantakovidāḥ ittham daśaratham bhūpam ca
atha caturātmānam mādhavam rāghavam śaśaṃsuḥ
59. Thus, those who were knowledgeable about Rama's (Rāghava's) affairs first praised King Dasharatha, and then Rama (Rāghava) himself, who possesses a four-fold self, akin to Madhava (Vishnu).

sabhrātaram jīvanmuktam rājakumārakam rāmam namāma
60. The Siddhas said: "We bow to Rama, the prince, who is with his brothers, a soul liberated while living (jīvanmukta), and who is like a second Narayana (Vishnu), possessing a four-fold manifestation."

61. (They praised) King Dasharatha, the protector of the terrestrial globe, which is bounded and encompassed by the four oceans, and who bears the emblem of kings whose sovereignty endures through all three times.

62. The king, who was the commander of the sages' army, shining like the sun with immense brilliance; Vasiṣṭha, who was rich in excellent teachings; and Viśvāmitra, who was a treasure house of asceticism (tapas).
एषामेव प्रभावेन ज्ञानयुक्तिं परामिमाम् ।

63. eṣām eva prabhāvena vayam sarve bhrāntisaṃrambhanāśinīm
parām imām jñānayuktim śrutavantaḥ
63. By the very influence of these (sages), all of us have heard this supreme method of knowledge (jñāna), which destroys the agitation of delusion.
श्रीवाल्मीकिरुवाच ।
इत्युक्त्वा गगनात्सिद्धा भूयः पुष्पाणि चिक्षिपुः ।

64. Śrī Vālmīki said: Having spoken thus, the perfected beings (siddhas) again showered flowers from the sky. Then, with joyful hearts, they remained silent in the assembly.
नभश्चरा धरणिचरा मुनीश्वरा महर्षयो विबुधगणा द्विजा नृपाः ।

66. Sky-dwellers, earth-dwellers, great sages, great seers, groups of enlightened ones (gods), Brahmins (dvijas), and kings - they thus honored the multitude (of people) with their very own power, with loud pronouncements, and with the offering of flowers and ceremonial water (arghya).
