उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

—III. 42] UTTARARĀMACHARITA. 100
According to 'कदम्बः सर्षपः प्रोक्तः करहाटस्त्विदम्पदः' ५.२.३१. सद्यः तरन्मद-
मरुताऽग्रतो वात्या (वातेन) प्रविधूता सिता च स्पृष्टा कोरेव (कणिका)
यस्याः 'कणिका कोरकः पुनरित्यमरः' मन्ये कोरेव like the branch
(lit stick) of a कदम्ब tree, which is shaken by the wind and
sprinkled with fresh rain water and which then has put
forth buds. This verse contains a fine उपमा. The body of सीता
is compared to कदम्बयष्टि, her कम्प due to agitation is compared to
the कम्प of the tree by the wind, स्वेद to जलकण and her रोमहर्ष to
buds. Sanskrit poets represent the कदम्ब tree as putting forth
buds when rain water falls upon it. दग्ध refers to this very
often. Compare 'अभिनवो कदम्बस्तोकहरिद्वेनि उन्मिषितपुष्पकुहरं
कुसुमम्', 'पुरम्तद्वाष्पविह्वलोऽय मञ्जुनान् पश्चात्कदम्बस्तनः ' उत्तरभाग.
This verse describes the three Sāttvikabhāvas स्वेद, कम्प and रोमाञ्च
which are the external indications of the inner feeling.
P 78 अप्रेत - भगवत्या I am put to shame by the revered Tamasā
(i.e. I am ashamed to show myself to her) in consequence of my
being unable to control myself. She could not prevent the external
indications of intense love for Rāma manifesting themselves.
लज्जिता past pass. p. of a denominative verb from लज्जा. किमेषा
मंस्यते what will she think? एव...परदू इति such a repudiation and such
an attachment (notwithstanding the abandonment). इति is to
be connected with मंस्यते and indicates the thought that सीता
fancies might be passing in the mind of तमसा. कथमनास्त्येव how?
she is not (here) at all. ननु shows 'emphasis' here.
एवंविधं reduced to this (extremely pathetic) condition.
न...इति you will please not abandon me who am in
this (sad) plight. राम thought that सीता had been to him a
moment before but left him afterwards, therefore he says these
words. विपर्ययः adj. contrary, topsy turvy. She means—it is
not I who left you, but it is you who abandoned me. दृढोत्थम्भनं
—हेतु उत्तर श्रेयन् 'उत्पुष्पिताग्रैरेभिरुत्तर माण्डुरत्' चिन्ता. दृढोत्तम्भनं
make firm or steady. अतिभूमिं गतं gone to excess (of sorrow).
The reading अतिभूमिगतविप्रलम्भम् (कर्म of आश्र्वासयन्) means 'whose
sorrow (for his beloved) is gone to excess.' विप्रलम्भ—separa-
tion, also 'delusion.' अतिभूमि गतं विप्रलम्भं यस्य 'विप्रलम्भो विप्रयोगे'
इत्यमरः. व्यक्तान्नास्तेव—clearly she (सीता) is not here. अपि स्यात्
can this be a dream? अपि introduces a question. Rāma asks
himself whether he was dreaming when he felt that Sītā touch-
ed him. To this he replies in the words न चास्ति सुप्तावकाशः कुतो -
निद्रा whence (how) can Rāma have sleep? He means that on
