—I 30] UTTARARÂMACHARITA 197
Rama —Alas father, descendant of Kasyapa, king of
birds, where again can arise a great holy saint, like thee ?
Lakshmana —This is that part of the Dandaka forest
to the west of Janasthâna, called Chitrakunjavan, inhabited
by the headless demon Danu. Here is that hermitage of
Matanga on the mountain Rishyamuka, and here is that
saintly female of the Sabara tribe named S'ramana, this is
the lily pool called Pampa
Sita —It was here indeed, that my lord wept aloud,
losing his resentment and courage
Rama — Queen beautiful is this lake (Verse 31) On
this lake, in the intervals between the falling and rising of
tears, I beheld the tracts having white lotuses, which trembled
with their broad stalks being shaken by the wings of the
Mallikaksha geese singing indistinctly through joy, as full of
blue lotuses
Lakshmana —Here is the noble Hanuman
Sita —Here is that magnanimous Maruti, a great bene-
factor in that he rescued from its grief the whole world of
living creatures though it (rescuing) was carried out after
a long time
Rama —(Verse 32) Happily, it is he of mighty arms,
the increaser of the joy of Anjana, by whose prowess we as
well as the whole world are blessed (have attained our ends)
Sita —Dear brother, what is the name of this mountain,
on whose flowering kadamba trees the peacocks are dancing,
where, under a tree, my lord is painted with his glory dim-
med, all but his beauty and noble mien being gone, and
during a momentary fainting fit supported by you who
were weeping?
Lakshmana —(Verse 33) This is that well known
mountain called Malyavan, fragrant with the flowers of the
kakubha tree, on the top of which a fresh cloud is resting,
blue and glossy On this, my lord—
Rama —Desist, desist from this, I can endure no more,
that separation from Janaki seems to have returned for me
Lakshmana —Hereafter are represented the countless
exploits, each more wonderful than the other, of my noble
brother and of the noble monkeys and rakshasas, but the
queen here is tired, therefore I request that we take rest
