अथ रामः करं प्रादान्नोत्थितस्तु द्विजोत्तमः । हनूमानथ चाप्यस्य दत्तवान्बलवत्करम्
Then Rama gave his hand, and the eminent Brahmin rose. Hanuman also gave him his strong hand.
इतरेण गृहीत्वा तु करेण द्विजपुंगवम् । आचकर्ष कपीन्द्रस्तु द्विजः साक्रोशमुक्तवान्
Taking hold of the Brahmin with his other hand, the king of monkeys dragged him, and the Brahmin cried out loudly.
द्विज उवाच- छिद्यते मे करो व्यक्तमुत्थापय ततोऽन्यतः । लांगूलेन सपीठं तमावृत्याऽमस्तकं बलात्
The Brahmin said: 'My hand is clearly being torn; lift me up by something else. Covering him, along with the seat, with his tail, up to his head, by force—'
अथाधावत्ततः पृथ्वीं द्विजस्तु न चचाल ह । अथ वानरवीरस्तु पद्भ्यां च कृन्ततां महीम्
Then the Brahmin rushed onto the earth, but did not move. The heroic monkey then cut the ground with his feet.
पादौ विन्यस्य सुदृढौ द्विजमूर्धानमाक्षिपत् । विशीर्णमभवद्वेश्म द्विजाः सर्वे बहिस्तथा
Placing his feet firmly, he lifted the Brahmin's head; the house was shattered, and all the Brahmins were likewise outside.
सह वृद्धद्विजः सोऽथ हनूमान्बहिरभ्यगात् । पीठे च स्थापयामास ब्राह्मणं स्थविरं कृशम्
Together with the aged Brahmin, Hanuman then came outside, and placed the frail, elderly Brahmin on a seat.
द्विजाय जलमादाय जाम्बवान्मृण्मये घटे । आह स्वच्छं जलं विप्र त्वयाऽदेयं सभाजनम्
Jambavan, taking water in an earthen pot for the Brahmin, said: 'O Brahmin, here is pure water for you, along with a vessel.'
सीता प्रक्षालयेदङ्गं लक्ष्मणो जलदो भवेत् । जाम्बवानाह तं रामं ब्राह्मणोक्तमशेषतः
Sita should cleanse his limbs, and Lakshmana should provide water. Jambavan spoke to Rama, conveying the Brahmin's instructions in full.
द्विजप्रक्षालने रामो व्यादिदेशानुजं प्रियाम् । सौमित्रिर्जलमादाय द्विजाङ्गक्षालने तथा
Rama washed the twice-born, directing his dear brother from the land of hunters; likewise, Saumitri brought water for washing the bodies of the Brahmins.
प्राक्षालयदशेषाङ्गं प्रतिमामिव भूभुजः । अथ रामोपदेशेन चक्रतुस्तौ तथैव च
The kings washed every limb, as if cleansing an image; then, following Rama's instructions, both performed the same acts.
अथातिथिः स्वगण्डूषं सीतावक्त्रे व्यमुञ्चत । सालंकाराऽम्बुभिर्व्याप्ता प्राक्षालयदथो सती
Then the guest spat out his mouthful into Sita's mouth; adorned and covered with water, the virtuous lady washed herself.
श्लेष्मलालासुप्रचुरं मुखं विप्रस्य सा सती । प्रममार्ज पुनः क्षाल्य नासा श्लेष्माणमत्यजत्
The virtuous lady thoroughly wiped the Brahmin's mouth, which was full of phlegm and saliva; she washed again, and removed the mucus from his nose.
आचामयित्वा सौमित्रिरुत्तिष्ठेत्यब्रवीद्द्विजम् । द्विजो न शक्यमित्याह हनूमानप्यथाऽगतः
After performing the ritual, Saumitri said to the Brahmin, 'Rise.' The Brahmin replied, 'I am unable,' and then Hanuman arrived.
अतिथिः प्राह तं विप्रः पीडितोऽहं हनूमता । गृहीत्वोद्धरता पूर्वं पातितो वानरेण च
The Brahmin guest said to Hanuman, 'I am afflicted; when you previously lifted me, you dropped me.'
जांबवानथ तं प्राह लोमांगं मम वै मृदु । मयाथ ध्रियसे विप्र न च पीडा भविष्यति
Then Jambavan said to him, 'My limbs are soft; if I carry you, Brahmin, there will be no pain.'
इत्युक्त्वा जांबवान्विप्रं दोर्भ्यामालंब्य चोद्धरत् । द्विजप्रांतमथादाय स्थापयामास तं मुनिम्
Having said this, Jambavan lifted the Brahmin with his arms; taking him to the edge, he set the sage down.
अथ रामो द्विजेंद्राणां प्रदक्षिणमवर्तत । दत्ताशीरपि विपेंद्रैर्दत्वा तांबूलमग्रतः
Then Rama circled the chiefs of the twice-born; the Brahmin leaders gave their blessings and offered betel leaves in front.
पादावलंबकृद्रामो भ्रातृभिः सह चाब्रवीत् । अयि सीतेऽतिथेरस्य त्वया न क्षालितं वपुः
Rama, supporting himself with his brothers, said, 'O Sita, you have not washed the body of the guest.'
जंघायुगेऽतिथेरस्य मलं चास्यं मलान्वितम् । सम्यक्प्रक्षालय मुखं द्विजो न सहते मलम्
The guest's legs and mouth are still dirty; wash his mouth thoroughly, for the Brahmin cannot endure filth.
सीतोवाच- अथ प्रक्षालितं सम्यगिदानीं निर्गतं पुनः । राम उवाच- पुनः प्रक्षालय मलं दोषः स्यादन्यथा मम
Sita said: 'Now it has been properly washed and the dirt is gone.' Rama said: 'Wash the dirt again, otherwise I will be at fault.'
अथ सीता तथा कृत्वा तूष्णीमेव बभूव ह । आह रामं च सीतां च द्विजः परमकोपवान्
Then Sita did so and remained silent; the Brahmin, extremely angry, spoke to Rama and Sita.
पादौ यौ मम राजेंद्र तौ सीता लंबयेदिति । भवान्करौ च भरतो मम वीजं प्रयच्छतु
'Let Sita hold my feet, O king; let Bharata give me seed with his hands.'
लक्ष्मणः केशनिचय प्रसाधनकरो भवेत् । शत्रुघ्नः श्लेष्मनिर्मुक्तिं स्ववस्त्रेण करोतु मे
'Let Lakshmana be the arranger of my hair; let Shatrughna remove my phlegm with his own garment.'
सूत उवाच- अथ ते चक्रुरतिथेरशेषमुदितं तथा । तथापुर्विस्मयं विप्रा नरवानरराक्षसाः
The charioteer said: Then they performed all the guest's requests; the Brahmins, men, monkeys, and demons were amazed as before.
शिवा देवी च शंभुश्च सभ्रूभंगमुदैक्षताम् । मनसा चाप्यभाषेतामतिथिःशंभुरेव च
The goddess Shiva and Shambhu watched with raised brows; in their minds, the guest and Shambhu conversed.
अतिथिश्च प्रसन्नोऽभू च्छंखचक्रगदाधरः । पीतांबरः समस्तांगभूषितोऽतीव दीप्तिमान्
The guest became pleased, and Shambhu, bearer of conch, discus, and mace, clad in yellow garments, adorned on all limbs, shone exceedingly bright.
यः पुराराधितः शंभुः प्रसन्नोऽभूत्त्रिलोचनः । शुद्धस्फटिकसंकाशः सर्वाभरणभूषितः
He who was worshipped before, Śaṃbhu, the three-eyed one, became pleased; shining like pure crystal, adorned with all ornaments.
कोटिसूर्य्यप्रतीकाशः किरीटीकरुणानिधिः । आलंब्य चक्रिणः पाणिमातिष्ठत सदाशिवः
Resplendent like millions of suns, crowned, an ocean of compassion, Sadāśiva stood, holding the hand of the discus-wielder.
रामः परमधर्म्मात्मा पुलकांचितविग्रहः । दंडवन्निपपातोर्व्यामानंदप्लाविते क्षणः
Rāma, whose soul is supremely righteous, his body thrilled with joy, fell prostrate on the ground, overwhelmed with happiness for a moment.
अनमन्भ्रातरस्तस्य दंडवद्भूतले स्थिताः । शिव उत्थाप्य काकुत्स्थमालिंग्याघ्राय मस्तकम्
His brothers also bowed down on the earth in prostration; Śiva raised up Kākutstha, embraced him, and smelled his head.
