Sagara, hence it is known by the name of ‘SŒgara.’ King Sagara was an ancestor of Ýr¶ RŒma and thus the deity presiding over the ocean is also spoken of by Vibh¶ƒa˜a as a forefather of the Lord. “Friend, you have suggested an excellent plan; let us try it and see if Providence helps it.” This counsel, however, did not find favour with Lakƒma˜a, who was greatly pained to hear Ýr¶ RŒma’s words. “No reliance can be placed on the freaks of fortune. Fill your mind with indignation and dry up the ocean. Fate is a crutch for the mind of cowards alone; it is the indolent who proclaim their faith in fate.” Hearing this the Hero of Raghu’s line laughed and said, “We shall do accordingly; pray, ease your mind.” Reassuring His younger brother (Lakƒma˜a) with these words the Lord of the Raghus went to the seashore. First of all He bowed His head and greeted the ocean and then, spreading some KuÜa grass on the shore, took His seat thereon. As soon as Vibh¶ƒa˜a proceeded towards the Lord, RŒva˜a sent spies after him. (1—4)
