उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

points of contrast between the former and the present वियोग
and C seem to have read प्रलय (destruction, dissolution),
which is not good. We require the same word (वियोग) in order
to heighten the contrast. वीर० remarks 'पुनर्दानाभावान्निश्चये वियोगस्य
प्रकृष्टतोक्तिः' निर. भामिनी alas! I am cursed in that (my lord
says that) it (the present separation) is to be endless. राम
meant that सीता being dead the present वियोग would never come
to an end, even if he wished to end it. सीता thinks that he uses
the word निरवधि, because he had determined never to welcome
her back. These words deal a heavy blow to her, they dispel
what forlorn hope she might have entertained of being re-in-
stated at some distant date. Verse 45. The first three lines
contain five relative clauses. The word यत्र occurs only in three
out of these and we have to understand it in two others. कपीन्द्र =
सुग्रीव. For the alliance between राम and सुग्रीव see किष्किन्धाकाण्ड
5-7. 'ततोग्निं दीप्यमानं तौ चक्रतुश्च प्रदक्षिणम् ॥ सुग्रीवो राघवश्चैव वयस्यत्वमुपा-
गतौ।' किष्किन्धा० 5 15-16. शौर्य—prowess. हरयः of the monkeys.
Supply कृताः after जाम्बवतोऽपि. जाम्बवान् is popularly supposed to be
the chief of bears. But the रामायण speaks of him as a वानर.
'जाम्बवान् वानरश्रेष्ठः सह सर्वैः प्लवङ्गमैः । भूत्वा हृष्टस्ततोत्थाय सुग्रीवानमब्रवीत्॥'
किष्किन्धाकाण्ड 39. 2. He was of signal service to राम in various
ways. It was he who encouraged Hanumân to undertake the
feat of crossing the ocean. It was he who, when राम, लक्ष्मण and
the whole army of the monkeys lay senseless on the battlefield
on account of the missiles of इन्द्रजित्, directed Hanumân to go to
the Himâlayas and bring medicinal herbs for curing the wounds
of the army. See युद्धकाण्ड chap. 74. न गतिः वायोरपि where there
is no access even to the son of the wind. This refers to हनुमान्,
the son of अञ्जना and वायु. See किष्किन्धाकाण्ड chap. 66. As to
the greatness of Hanumân note the words of जाम्बवान् to विभीषण
'अस्मिन्जीवति वीरे तु हतमप्यहतं बलम् । हनूमत्यायुषाहीने जीवन्तोऽपि मृता वयम् ॥
धरते मारुतिस्तात मारुतप्रतिमोजसा यदि । वैश्वानरसमो वीर्ये जीविताशा ततो भवेत् ॥'
युद्धकाण्ड chap. 66. 22-23. The words in the text have a pictures-
que effect. वायु has access everywhere. But सीता is now there
where even the son of वायु cannot reach. क्षमः able. नल was the
name of a monkey chief who constructed the सेतु by which the
monkey host passed over to Lankâ. Vide युद्धकाण्ड सर्ग 22. सागर
says to राम 'अयं सौम्य नलो नाम तनयो विश्वकर्मणः । पित्रा दत्तवरः श्रीमान्
प्रीतिमान् विश्वकर्मणः ॥ एष सेतुं महोत्साहः करोतु मयि वानरः । तमहं धारयिष्यामि
यथा ह्येष पिता तथा॥' 41-42. सीते हे Oh thou, my beloved
