उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

-L 33] UTTARARÂMACHARITA 37
P. 22. प्रमत्त विहरिष्यामि I shall sport in the groves of
trees that are pleasing and deep (dense) R says 'प्रमत्ता माय-
दारिसञ्चारनिशाचरोपद्रवादिराहित्येन निरुपद्रवा'. पवित्र गार्हा-पवित्रं निमलं
शिशिरञ्च अवगाहं यस्याः-a bath in which is holy, pure and cool
Some read सौम्य (charming agreeable) for विमलं Note how सीता's
longing is a presentiment of what was to befall her सन्त्येव
सन्दिष्टम्-Note the message delivered by अष्टावक on p 9 of the
text. अक्षोभि सुखं (सुखकरं) च सम्पात (गमनं) यस्य स-The
movement of which will not cause jolting and will be comfort
able उपस्थापय-causal of स्था with उप-cause to approach, bring
युष्मा ... गन्तव्यम् you also should come (with me to the Ganges)
कठिन हृदय यस्याः whose heart is hard. This is a rebuke ad
ministered to सीता by राम for her expressly requiring him to
come with her राम means that no entreaties from her were
necessary to induce him to accompany her In the interesting
state in which सीता then was, राम could never have thought
of sending her alone without himself एतद्...देवि does this also
require to be said? (i e you need not expressly have asked
me). तेन मे if that be so, then I am pleased वातायनोपकण्ठे
in the vicinity of the window वातायनस्य उपकण्ठं तस्मिन् 'वातायनं
गवाक्षः' इत्यमरः वातायने अयनं वातायनम् V and Gh read वातायनालोके-
in the recesses of a window R explains 'वातायने गवाक्षं, आलोकं
विस्तारकन्, पवन् चिन्ता अन्ये (नान्दे ?) लक्ष्यते तादृशं स्थानमित्यर्थः, वातायनस्य
आलोके वातायनप्रविष्टे निभृते स्थाने' संविश sitting or lying down
अपहृता-carried away, overpowered. तेन गमनाय then rest on
me closely in order to follow me (to the Ganges when the
chariot would be brought) निर्गतं अन्तरं (अवकाशः) यया साऽसा
दृशमित्यर्थः राम, seeing सीता overpowered by sleep, asks her
to rest her limbs on his bosom till the time when they both
would get into the chariot to fetch which लक्ष्मण had gone K., V
and Gh read अङ्ग दापनाय for अनुगमनाय This seems to be an
emendation purposely made. The word अनुगमनाय cannot be
well explained and is moreover ominous, as it also means 'the
self immolation of a widow on her husband's funeral pile.'
Verse 34 The principal sentence is बाहुः अधिकण्ठम् अर्प्यताम्-let
your arm be placed round my neck. जीवयन्निव (arm) which as
if brings life to me समाश्वस्त बिन्दु-साध्वसं श्रमश्च साध्वसश्रमौ ताभ्यां
स्वेदः तस्य बिन्दवः बिन्दुभिः सह इति स-बिन्दु (बहुव्रीहि) that has drops of
perspiration due to fear and fatigue 'भीतिभीः साध्वसं भयम्' इत्यमरः.
अधिकण्ठम्-कण्ठे अविशति (अव्ययीभावः) ऐन्दवाश्च ते मयूखाः ते सुचिरं
(अत्र एव) सन्ती (दधत्) चन्द्रमसीनां हारः, ०हारस्येव विभ्रमं (शोभां) यस्य-
