उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

88 NOTES ON [ III, 12-
that of the tongue of a balance' मा एव वत्सलस्य who entertains
affection for me only who am unfortunate. एवम्वादिन् —She refers
to राम's words 'प्रिये जानकि' निरनुक्रोश cruel, without pity 'कृपा
दयाऽनुकम्पा स्यादनुक्रोशोऽपि' इत्यमर मद एव She means—however
outwardly cruel राम's treatment of her may seem to be, she knows
'that his love for her is deep and that he has really not the
least doubt about her Note her words 'तस्मै कोपिष्यामि यदि न
प्रेक्षुमाणात्मन प्रभविव्यामि' (after I 51) and VI 32 below सनिर्वेदम्
with dejection कीदृशी वत्स्या what is the condition of my heart?
She asks तमसा whether she can understand the condition of
her heart which is tossed by contending emotions. Some
editions read 'कीदृश इव मे हृदयस्यानुरूप इति न जानामि'— I do not know
what the state of my heart is तमसा replies that she knows
the state of her heart Verse 13 तटस्थं, कलुषं &c. qualify हृदय.
हृत्स्य स्तम्भितमिव Indifferent (cold) on account of despair, angry
in consequence of the offence (राम committed, viz. of abandon
ing her), it is as if paralysed on account of the sudden meet
ing after this long separation कलुष turbid, therefore 'angry'
सीता despaired of being restored to her former position and so
her heart was cold towards राम राम had done her injustice by
banishing her without any cause under a pretext and therefore
she was full of resentment On account of her suddenly meeting-
राम, her heart was paralysed and did not know what to do. Some
read घट्नोत्तम्भितमिव which may mean 'supported by the sudden
meeting' प्रसन्न इव pleased on account of his goodness, deeply
touched by the lamentations of your beloved (राम), your heart
has at this moment as if melted with affection. दयितस्य (रामस्य) करुणै
(स्वरपातादै ) गाढं करण (शोक ) यस्मिन् Construe इव with द्रवीभूतम्
Verse 14 स्नेहेन आईश्वामी शीतलश्च cool and influenced (lit
melting) by love नन्दिनी—is here used in its etymological
sense 'a woman that causes delight Its usual meaning
'daughter' is inappropriate here All the editions read नन्दिनि;
but following G we read नन्दिनी, which is better Sita, being
already addressed as देवि, there is no necessity of using another
vocative. एते हाला Indeed these words of my lord are full of
nectar (i e. cause delight) which shower delight and which
exhibit the deep affection of his heart (for me). The com
pound अगाध सम्भारा cannot be easily dissolved We rather
expect दर्शितगावाधमानतस्नेह•. अगाध' मानसे दर्शित स्नेहसम्भार येषु सम्भार
heap, fulness. आनन्द निस्यन्दरे इति G reads ०'सुम्भरा' for ०सम्भारा.
