By auspicious deeds and desired sacrifices with proper gifts, King Daśaratha, our father, has attained heaven.

Having performed many kinds of sacrifices and enjoyed abundant pleasures, and having attained the highest span of life, the king has gone to heaven.

Having attained the highest lifespan and pleasures, O Rāghava, our father, honored by the virtuous, has gone to heaven and is not to be mourned.

Our father, having abandoned the worn-out human body, has attained divine prosperity and now dwells in the world of Brahma.

No wise person, whether of such a kind or any other, who has heard and is more intelligent, ought to grieve in this way.

These many kinds of sorrows, lamentations, and weeping should indeed be avoided by the wise in all circumstances.
स स्वस्थो भव माशोचीर्यात्वा चावस तां पुरीम् । तथा पित्रा नियुक्तो ऽसि वशिना वदतां वर ।। २.१०५.
Therefore, be at ease and do not grieve; remain in that city. Thus you have been instructed by our father, the best among those who command their senses and foremost among speakers.
यत्राहमपि तेनैव नियुक्त: पुण्यकर्मणा । तत्रैवाहं करिष्यामि पितुरार्य्यस्य शासनम् ।। २.१०५.
Where I too have been directed by that virtuous father, there indeed I shall carry out the command of our noble father.
न मया शासनं तस्य त्यक्तुं न्याय्यमरिन्दम । तत् त्वयापि सदा मान्यं स वै बन्धु: स न: पिता ।। २.१०५.
It is not right for me, O subduer of foes, to disregard his command. That father is always to be honored by you as well; he is our kinsman, he is our father.
तद्वच: पितुरेवाहं सम्मतं धर्मचारिण: । कर्मणा पालयिष्यामि वनवासेन राघव ।। २.१०५.
Therefore, Rāghava, I shall uphold the word of our father, who walks in righteousness, by dwelling in the forest, as he has approved.
धीर्मिकेणानृशंसेन नरेण गुरुवर्त्तिना । भवितव्यं नरव्याघ्र परलोकं जिगीषता ।। २.१०५.
A man who seeks the next world must act with intelligence, compassion, and obedience to elders, O tiger among men.

You too, best of men, should conduct yourself according to your own nature, having heard of the virtuous conduct of our father, Daśaratha.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा वचनं महात्मा पितुर्निदेशप्रतिपालनार्थम् । यवीयसं भ्रातरमर्थवच्च प्रभुर्मुहूर्ताद्विरराम राम: ।। २.१०५.
Having thus spoken these meaningful words for the sake of obeying his father's command, the great Rāma, lordly and wise, ceased addressing his younger brother after a moment.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये श्रीमदयोध्याकाण्डे पञ्चोत्तरशततम: सर्ग:
Thus ends the one hundred and fifth sarga in the glorious Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa of the ancient and illustrious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa.
thumb|षडधिकशततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center एवमुक्त्वा तु विरते रामे वचनमर्थवत् । ततो मन्दाकिनीतीरे रामं प्रकृतिवत्सलम् । उवाच भरतश्चित्रं धार्मिको धार्मिकं वच: ।। २.१०६.
When Rāma had thus spoken and fallen silent, Bharata, devoted to righteousness, addressed Rāma—who cherished the people—on the banks of the Mandākinī, with remarkable and righteous words.
को हि स्यादीदृशो लोके यादृशस्त्वमरिन्दम । न त्वां प्रव्यथयेद्दु:खं प्रीतिर्वा न प्रहर्षयेत् ।। २.१०६.
Who in this world could be like you, O subduer of foes? Neither sorrow disturbs you nor joy elates you.
सम्मतश्चासि वृद्धानां तांश्च पृच्छसि संशयान् ।। २.१०६.
You are esteemed by the elders, and you consult them regarding your doubts.
यथा मृतस्तथा जीवन् यथा ऽसति तथा सति । यस्यैष बुद्धिलाभ: स्यात्परितप्येत केन स: ।। २.१०६.
One who, whether living or dead, whether present or absent, possesses such discernment—why would he be troubled by anything?
परावरज्ञो यश्च स्यात्तथा त्वं मनुजाधिप । स एवं व्यसनं प्राप्य न विषीदितुमर्हति ।। २.१०६.
He who knows both the higher and lower truths, as you do, O lord of men, should not grieve even when faced with such misfortune.
अमरोपम सत्त्वस्त्वं महात्मा सत्यसङ्गर: । सर्वज्ञ: सर्वदर्शी च बुद्धिमांश्चासि राघव ।। २.१०६.
You possess a nature like the immortals, great-souled and steadfast in truth; you are all-knowing, all-seeing, and wise, O Rāghava.
न त्वामेवङ्गुणैर्युक्तं प्रभवाभवकोविदम् । अविषह्यतमं दु:खमासादयितुमर्हति ।। २.१०६.
One endowed with such qualities as yours, who knows the nature of creation and dissolution, should not be afflicted by unbearable sorrow.
प्रोषिते मयि यत्पापं मात्रा मत्कारणात्कृतम् । क्षुद्रया तदनिष्टं मे प्रसीदतु भवान्मम ।। २.१०६.
Whatever wrong my mother, base and wicked, committed on my account while I was away—may you, noble one, forgive that offense of mine.
धर्मबन्धेन बद्धो ऽस्मि तेनेमां नेह मातरम् । हन्मि तीव्रेण दण्डेन दण्डार्हां पापकारिणीम् ।। २.१०६.
Bound by the ties of righteousness, I do not inflict severe punishment on this mother of mine, though she deserves it for her evil deed.
कथं दशरथाज्जात: शुद्धाभिजनकर्मण: । जानन् धर्ममधर्मिष्ठं कुर्य्यां कर्म जुगुप्सितम् ।। २.१०६.
How could I, born of Daśaratha—pure in lineage and deeds—knowing what is right, ever perform a deed that is unrighteous and to be despised?
गुरु: क्रियावान् वृद्धश्च राजा प्रेत: पितेति च । तातं न परिगर्हेयं दैवतं चेति संसदि ।। २.१०६.
The teacher, the one who acts, the elder, the king, and the deceased father—these, in the assembly, I would not reproach, nor the divine powers.
को हि धर्मार्थयोर्हीनमीदृशं कर्म किल्बिषम् । स्त्रिया: प्रियं चिकीर्षु: सन् कुर्याद्धर्मज्ञ धर्मवित् ।। २.१०६.
For who, wishing to do what pleases a woman, would perform such a sinful act, lacking in righteousness and purpose, if he truly knows and understands dharma?
अन्तकाले हि भूतानि मुह्यन्तीति पुराश्रुति: । राज्ञैवं कुर्वता लोके प्रत्यक्षं सा श्रुति: कृता ।। २.१०६.
It is said from ancient times that beings become confused at the end of their lives; by the king acting thus in the world, that tradition has been made manifest before our eyes.
साध्वर्थमभिसन्धाय ऺक्रोधान्मोहाच्च साहसात् । तातस्य यदतिक्रान्तं प्रत्याहरतु तद्भवान् ।। २.१०६.
Whatever my father transgressed, driven by anger, delusion, or rashness, let you, aiming for what is right, now withdraw that act.
