Gita Press English

The Lord watched over S¶tŒ and Lakƒma˜a in the same way as the eyelids protect the eyeballs; while Lakƒma˜a in his turn waited upon S¶tŒ and Ýr¶ RŒma (the Hero of Raghu’s race) just as a fool (who identifies himself with his body) tends his own body. In this way the Lord, who was as friendly to birds and fawns as to gods and ascetics, lived happily in the forest. Thus have I told the delightful story of Ýr¶ RŒma’s journey to the woods; now hear how Sumantra reached AyodhyŒ. When the NiƒŒda chief returned after escorting the Lord, he saw the minister (Sumantra) with the chariot. The minister was distressed to see the NiƒŒda chief; words fail to describe the agony which he felt at the moment. Crying out “RŒma, RŒma, S¶tŒ, Lakƒma˜a” he (Sumantra) dropped on the ground utterly helpless; while the horses kept looking on to the south and neighed. They were as restless as birds shorn of their wings. (1—4)
