उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

184 NOTES ON [VII 5-
P 146 कस्ते पुत्र what is your husband to you (now that
he has abandoned you without any cause )! ईदृशोऽस्मि I am such
(a sinner as you imply by your indignant words) शरीर
सारस्य thou art the body of the world There can be no know-
ledge in ordinary life without the body, although it is the soul
or mind that is possessed of knowledge असंविदाना इव as if not
knowing (the real feelings of राम towards सीता) Verse 6.
वितत spread. या महद्भातु—compare यन्महद्भुतं कर्म &c (I 44)
दृष्ट्वा लोक —compare Act I 41 तदिति करोतु therefore in such
a difficult condition, what was my son to do? The readings
given in the footnote seem to be conjectural. अव्याहत अन्त
प्रकाश येषाम् whose inner light is unimpeded. This means that
the minds of deities are conscious of what is passing in the
minds of other beings and so भागीरथी had a clear idea of

word is used (as including राम and his family) because भागीरथी
interceded on behalf of राम आपात संवेगेन by the rush of
affection that is irresistible at first G seems to have read
आपात्दुःसहकौलीनस्नेहावेगेन on account of the vehemence of my
affection (for Sîtâ) about whom there was a scandal that was
intolerable at its first rush This is rather farfetched न
जानामि—this means जानाम्येव For the two negatives, vide

P 149 Verse 7 सारेन by his courage or resolve सकरुणा
रूपेषु elders are full of kindly feeling towards those that are
like their children गर्भस्य इव रूप येषाम् He means that he is
the son in law of पृथिवी and hence like a son Therefore it was
that पृथिवी was very easily mollified अविलौना not merged in
the earth अवेक्षणीयो to be cared for She suggests that she
must live for the sake of her sons. कना तान्दान् I am helpless
(without a lord) what have I to do with these? This is
