उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

86 NOTES ON [ III 10–
consciousness) This idea is good but we have to stretch the
words a little to bring out the sense required V reads ‘नियतो
भव’ which is interpreted to mean ‘on it alone is fixed (i e
depends) the being (here revival of Rāma)’ Some read तदैव
निरतो भव (Rāma's life is extremely fond of that alone) An
other reading is यत्रैव नियतो भव ‘be fixed (i e dependent) upon
that alone i e depend upon the touch of your hand as the only
remedy to restore राम to consciousness This is a fairly good
reading यत्रैव or तत्रैव निरतो भव has to be interpreted in the
same way as the reading in the text अश्रेण सह साश्रा तया shed
ding tears साह्लाद (आह्लादेन सह) उच्छ्वास यस्य who breathes again
joyously जाने त्रैलोक्यस्य I feel as if the life of the three worlds
has come back again To सीता, राम was all in all the whole
world To her all the worlds without राम in them were a void
So on seeing राम restored to consciousness she thought as if the
world was emerging into life. Some explain that सीता identified
राम and त्रैलोक्य because the latter depended upon him. वीर० says
‘प्रजानामपि शोरानां राममयजीवितत्वाद् रामजीवने तज्जीवनमिति भाव । तदुक्तम्—
रामो रामो राम इति प्रजानामभवन्कथा । रामभूतं जगदभूद्रामे राज्यं प्रशासति ॥’
इति She gives expression to a similar idea on p 74 of the text in
the words ‘सकलजीवलोकबहुलप्रह्लादस्य’ Verse 11 The touch of सीताs
hand was so cool and so much delighted राम that he not knowing
the cause of his feelings puts forward various hypotheses as
to what it was that made him so joyful आद्यो सेक Is it the
extract of the leaves of हरिचन्दन or is it the sprinkling of the
water issuing out of the sprout like lunar rays when squeezed ?
हरिचन्दन is either one of the five trees of paradise or a very
fragrant kind of sandal called गोशीर्ष ‘पञ्चैते देवतरवो मन्दार पारि
जातक । सन्तान कल्पवृक्षश्च पुंसि वा हरिचन्दनम् ॥’ इत्यमर, ‘तैलपर्णिकगोशीर्षे
हरिचन्दनमस्त्रियाम्’ इत्यमर निष्पीडिता इन्दुकरा (चन्द्रकिरणा ) एव कन्दला
स्तेभ्य जायते इति कन्दल इन्दु a tender shoot or sprout तु shows
doubt ‘तु पृथग्भावा वितर्के च इत्यमर आत्त सिक्त or is it the juice
of the plant that brings back life poured on my heart, which
(juice) again gladdens my worried life ? अश्रुत च तद् जीवितं च तस्य
पुन परितर्पण (पुन परितर्पयतीति) पुन परितर्पण—the aff'x अन is here
सज्ञायाम् vide notes p 27 on नीहारसृष्टिरपरा Some editions read
०जीविततरो परितर्पणोऽयं—which means which gladdens (invigorates)
the tree in the form of the heated life (worried life of राम)’
This is not a happy reading
P 58 Verse 12 राम स एव surely it is the same touch
