न परः पापमादत्ते परेषां पापकर्मणाम्। समयो रक्षितव्यस्तु सन्तश्चारित्रभूषणाः
One does not take on the sin of others who commit evil deeds; the agreement must be kept, and the virtuous are adorned by good conduct.
पापानां वा शुभानां वा वधार्हाणामथापि वा। कार्यं कारुण्यमार्येण न कश्चिन्नापराध्यति
Whether they are wicked or virtuous, or even deserving of death, compassion must be shown by the noble; no one is ever truly without fault.
लोकहिंसाविहाराणां क्रूराणां पापकर्मणाम्। कुर्वतामपि पापानि नैव कार्यमशोभनम्
Even toward those who delight in harming the world, who are cruel and perform evil acts, one should not commit an unworthy deed.
एवमुक्तस्तु हनुमान् सीतया वाक्यकोविदः। प्रत्युवाच ततः सीतां रामपत्नीमनिन्दिताम्
When Sītā had spoken thus, Hanumān, skilled in words, replied to Sītā, the blameless wife of Rāma.
युक्ता रामस्य भवती धर्मपत्नी गुणान्विता। प्रतिसंदिश मां देवि गमिष्ये यत्र राघवः
You are indeed a worthy and virtuous wife for Rāma; command me, O lady, and I will go to where Rāghava is.
एवमुक्ता हनुमता वैदेही जनकात्मजा। साब्रवीद् द्रष्टुमिच्छामि भर्तारं भक्तवत्सलम्
Thus addressed by Hanumān, Vaidehī, the daughter of Janaka, said: 'I wish to see my husband, who is devoted to his followers.'
तस्यास्तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः। हर्षयन् मैथिलीं वाक्यमुवाचेदं महामतिः
Hearing her words, Hanumān, son of the wind, delighted Maithilī and spoke these words with great wisdom:
पूर्णचन्द्रमुखं रामं द्रक्ष्यस्यद्य सलक्ष्मणम्। स्थितमित्रं हतामित्रं शचीवेन्द्रं सुरेश्वरम्
Today you will see Rāma, whose face is like the full moon, together with Lakṣmaṇa—your friend, destroyer of enemies, like Indra among the gods.
तामेवमुक्त्वा भ्राजन्तीं सीतां साक्षादिव श्रियम्। आजगाम महातेजा हनूमान् यत्र राघवः
Having thus spoken to radiant Sītā, shining like prosperity itself, the mighty Hanumān went to where Rāghava was.
सपदि हरिवरस्ततो हनूमान् प्रतिवचनं जनकेश्वरात्मजायाः। कथितमकथयद् यथाक्रमेण त्रिदशवरप्रतिमाय राघवाय
Then Hanumān, the best of monkeys, immediately conveyed, in proper order, the reply of Janaka's daughter to Rāghava, who was like the best among the gods.
thumb|चतुर्दशाधिकशततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे चतुर्दशाधिकशततमः सर्गः ॥६-
Let the one hundred fourteenth sarga be heard in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
तमुवाच महाप्राज्ञः सोऽभिवाद्य प्लवङ्गमः। रामं कमलपत्राक्षं वरं सर्वधनुष्मताम्
That wise monkey, having offered his respects, spoke to Rāma, whose eyes are like lotus petals, the best among all wielders of the bow.
यन्निमित्तोऽयमारम्भः कर्मणां यः फलोदयः। तां देवीं शोकसंतप्तां द्रष्टुमर्हसि मैथिलीम्
For whose sake this endeavor was undertaken, and who is the fruit of these actions—you should see that lady, Maithilī, tormented by sorrow.
सा हि शोकसमाविष्टा बाष्पपर्याकुलेक्षणा। मैथिली विजयं श्रुत्वा द्रष्टुं त्वामभिकांक्षति
She, overwhelmed by grief and her eyes filled with tears, desires to see you, O Maithilī, having heard of your victory.
पूर्वकात् प्रत्ययाच्चाहमुक्तो विश्वस्तया तया। द्रष्टुमिच्छामि भर्तारमिति पर्याकुलेक्षणा
Because of my previous assurance, spoken to her in trust, she, with tear-filled eyes, wishes to see her husband.
एवमुक्तो हनुमता रामो धर्मभृतां वरः। आगच्छत् सहसा ध्यानमीषद्बाष्पपरिप्लुतः
Thus addressed by Hanumān, Rāma, the best upholder of righteousness, came at once, absorbed in thought, his eyes slightly filled with tears.
स दीर्घमभिनिःश्वस्य जगतीमवलोकयन्। उवाच मेघसंकाशं विभीषणमुपस्थितम्
He sighed deeply, gazing at the earth, and spoke to Vibhīṣaṇa, who stood there, dark as a cloud.
दिव्याङ्गरागां वैदेहीं दिव्याभरणभूषिताम्। इह सीतां शिरःस्नातामुपस्थापय मा चिरम्
Bring here Sita, adorned with divine unguents and splendid ornaments, having bathed her head, without delay.
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण त्वरमाणो विभीषणः। प्रविश्यान्तःपुरं सीतां स्त्रीभिः स्वाभिरचोदयत्
Thus addressed by Rama, Vibhishana, hurrying, entered the inner chambers and urged Sita, accompanied by her own women.
ततः सीतां महाभागां दृष्ट्वोवाच विभीषणः। मूर्ध्नि बद्धाञ्जलिः श्रीमान् विनीतो राक्षसेश्वरः
Then Vibhishana, the illustrious and humble lord of the Rakshasas, seeing the noble Sita, spoke to her with joined palms upon his head.
दिव्याङ्गरागा वैदेहि दिव्याभरणभूषिता। यानमारोह भद्रं ते भर्ता त्वां द्रष्टुमिच्छति
O Vaidehi, anointed with divine unguents and adorned with splendid ornaments, ascend the palanquin; may it be well with you—your husband wishes to see you.
एवमुक्ता तु वैदेही प्रत्युवाच विभीषणम्। अस्नात्वा द्रष्टुमिच्छामि भर्तारं राक्षसेश्वर
Thus addressed, Vaidehi replied to Vibhishana: 'O lord of the Rakshasas, I wish to see my husband without having bathed.'
तस्यास्तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा प्रत्युवाच विभीषणः। यथाऽऽह रामो भर्ता ते तत् तथा कर्तुमर्हसि
Hearing her words, Vibhishana replied: 'You should do as your husband Rama has instructed.'
तस्य तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा मैथिली पतिदेवता। भर्तृभक्त्यावृता साध्वी तथेति प्रत्यभाषत
Hearing his words, Maithili, devoted to her husband and virtuous, enveloped in loyalty, replied, 'So be it.'
ततः सीतां शिरःस्नातां संयुक्तां प्रतिकर्मणा। महार्हाभरणोपेतां महार्हाम्बरधारिणीम्
Then Sita, having bathed her head, adorned according to custom, wearing costly ornaments and splendid garments,
आरोप्य शिबिकां दीप्तां परार्घ्याम्बरसंवृताम्। रक्षोभिर्बहुभिर्गुप्तामाजहार विभीषणः
Was placed in a shining palanquin, veiled with precious cloth, guarded by many Rakshasas—thus Vibhishana brought her forth.
सोऽभिगम्य महात्मानं ज्ञात्वापि ध्यानमास्थितम्। प्रणतश्च प्रहृष्टश्च प्राप्तां सीतां न्यवेदयत्
Approaching the great-souled Rama, who was absorbed in meditation, Vibhishana, bowing and delighted, announced Sita's arrival.
तामागतामुपश्रुत्य रक्षोगृहचिरोषिताम्। रोषं हर्षं च दैन्यं च राघवः प्राप शत्रुहा
Hearing of her arrival, who had long dwelt in the house of the Rakshasas, Rama, the destroyer of enemies, experienced anger, joy, and sorrow.
ततो यानगतां सीतां सविमर्शं विचारयन्। विभीषणमिदं वाक्यमहृष्टो राघवोऽब्रवीत्
Then, as he considered Sita, who had come in the palanquin, Raghava, not rejoicing, spoke these words to Vibhishana.
राक्षसाधिपते सौम्य नित्यं मद्विजये रत। वैदेही संनिकर्षं मे क्षिप्रं समभिगच्छतु
'O gentle lord of the Rakshasas, ever devoted to my victory, let Vaidehi quickly approach me.'
