126 NOTES ON [ IV. 5-
in apposition with कौसल्या. क इति who would belive this that
she is the same? इ with प्रति to believe. Verse 6 यथा श्रीः like
Lakshmi. स्त्रीरेव पदेन or she was herself Lakshmi, what is
the use of a word showing a simile? The उपमानपद here is यथा
सैषा—these words are to be connected with जाता. कष्टं बत show
extreme sorrow. Construe सा एषा दैववशेन दुःखात्मकं किमपि अन्यदिव
भूत जाता—through the power of fate she has become as if another
indescribable being full of misery. From being like लक्ष्मी or
लक्ष्मी herself she has become a miserable being and her state is
indescribable. दुःखात्मा स्वरूपं यस्य. We may also construe in
another way—सा एषा दैववशेन अन्यदिव जाता, दुःखात्मकं किमपि भूतम्—
She has become through the power of fate, as if another, some
thing indescribably lamentable has happened. This is not,
however, very happy. We expect अस्या इव for अन्यदिव. अहो विपाकः
Oh, what a change. For विपाक see ईदृशानां विपाकोऽपि &c. (text
p. 52) and विषादे घोरेऽस्मिन्' (verse 12) below. N reads विकारः,
which is not good. मीर० explains 'विकारः प्राणिनामुपचयापचयरूपस्तद्दर्श-
विस्मयनीय इत्यर्थे.' Verse 7 मूर्तः incarnate. श्रुतेः दर्शनम् the sight
of that very person has become unbearable to me like salt
(thrown) on a wound. V. and Gh. read before this verse 'अयमपरः
पापो दशाविपर्यासः' this is another miserable (or evil) change of
condition (that has happened). This is not bad, but seems to be a
conjectural addition. क्व कुलगुरोः-यमितव्यं अनध्यवसायः—indecision,
want of resolution. N. and G. read महानध्यवसायः—this great
effort. The meaning would be—you have been asked to see
Janaka by your family preceptor, why do you require so much
effort to make up your mind to see him? The words पदे पदे how-
ever indicate that the reading अनध्यवसायः is better. संयम्य
having made steady. अनुबन्धन obey. सममेव at the same time.
सर्वाणि द्रवन्ति all the sorrows spring up. She refers to such
calamities as the death of दशरथ, the exile of राम, the abandon-
ment of सीता &c. उद्भ्रान्त (उद्+भ्रम्) मूलबन्धं यस्य—the root of which
is plucked up. पदबन्धापचितुम् to compose, to make steady. The
reading उद्भ्रान्तं is conjectural, it gives a good sense. Verse 8
मनागवाहीनि flowing in a stream (i. e. continuously). संतानेन
वहन्ति इति. सम्बन्धि हानि due to separation from relatives (in
this case from दशरथ). दृष्टे प्रेक्षणि (loc. abs.) when any person
that is very dear is seen. ओघः प्लवन्ते surge around (flow to-
gether) as if with thousands of streams. When sorrow has been
continuous for many years, it loses its nature of being unbearable.
But at the sight of persons that are dear to us, sorrow revives in
