उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

[-L 51] UTTARARÂMACHARITA. 51

—(and not या) is used because the predicate is मङ्गलम्. याम् is the
object of अवावत् the subject of which is 'you (earth) under-
stood (from the preceding sentence). दुःस्वप्नशठं यस्याः सा तया
being deceived by the evil dream. She dreamt that she was
separated from राम and hence she cried हा सौम्य &c. आर्यपुत्र इवे
I look upon myself as if I were without my lord. सीता though
awake was not yet conscious that राम had left the place where
she had fallen asleep. एकाकिनी alone, helpless 'एकादाकिनिच्चास-
हाये पा० ५. ३. ५२' (चात्कनुभौ। एक। एकाकी। एककः। नि. कौ.) तस्मै
प्रभविष्यामि—I shall become angry with him, if when I see
him I shall be mistress of my heart. This sentence shows
how deep सीता's love for राम was. She says that whatever
resolves she may make to be angry with him on seeing him,
all such thoughts would vanish and it would be impossible
for her to be angry. आत्मनः प्रभविष्याम्-भू with प्र in the sense
'to be master of' governs the genitive of the object. स्फुरति
मे गर्भभारः my heavy foetus throbs. Vide the comment of G.
on this passage. But it seems to us that the criticism of
G. looking to the probable age and confidential position of
दुर्मुख, is not at all justified.

Act II.

The events narrated in this Act occurred as we shall see
twelve years after the incidents mentioned in the first Act.
The scene of this Act is laid in जनस्थान.
P. 32. स्वागतं तपोधनायाः welcome to the female ascetic. तद्-
ध्वगवेष्याः. Here the entrance of the तापसी is suggested by these
words uttered from behind the curtain. This device is called
चूलिका 'अन्तर्जवनिकासंस्थैः सूचनार्थस्य चूलिका' साहित्यदर्पण VI. We shall
find later on that this was uttered by a sylvan deity named
वासन्ती and that the ascetic was named आत्रेयी. अध्वगस्य इव वेषो
यस्याः who was dressed as a traveller. अध्वानं गच्छति इति अध्वगः,
'अध्वनीनोऽध्वगोऽध्वन्यः पान्थः पथिक इत्यपि' अमरः. फलानि कुसुमानि च
गर्भे यस्य inside of which are fruits and flowers. पर्णपुटेन with
an offering containing leaves. अर्घ्यम् a respectful offering to a
god or venerable person; it often consists of water alone given
in a द्रोण. 'अर्घ्यमर्हार्थे पाद्यं पादाय वारिणि' इत्यमरः. अर्घ्य is derived
from अर्घ ('मूल्ये पूजाविधावर्घे' इत्यमरः) with the affix य, according
