नानावृष्टिर्बभूवास्मिन्न दुर्भिक्षं सतां वरे । अनरण्ये महाराजे तस्करो नापि कश्चन ।। २.११०.
During the reign of the great king Anaraṇya, there was neither irregular rainfall nor famine, and not a single thief among the virtuous.
अनरण्यान्महाबाहु: पृथू राजा बभूव ह । तस्मात् पृथोर्महाराजस्त्रिशङ्कुरुदपद्यत । स सत्यवचनाद्वीर: सशरीरो दिवङ्गत: ।। २.११०.
From Anaraṇya, the mighty-armed king Pṛthu was born; from Pṛthu, the great king Triśaṅku arose—he, a hero, ascended to heaven in his own body because of his truthfulness.
त्रिशङ्कोरभवत्सूनुर्धुन्धुमारो महायशा: । धुन्धुमारो महातेजा युवनाश्वो व्यजायत ।। २.११०.
Triśaṅku's son was the illustrious Dhundhumāra; from Dhundhumāra, the mighty Yuvanāśva was born.
युवनाश्वसुत: श्रीमान् मान्धाता समपद्यत । मान्धातुस्तु महातेजा: सुसन्धिरुदपद्यत ।। २.११०.
Yuvanāśva's son was the illustrious Māndhātṛ; from Māndhātṛ, the mighty Susandhi was born.
सुसन्धेरपि पुत्रौ द्वौ ध्रुवसन्धि: प्रसेनजित् । यशस्वी ध्रुवसन्धेस्तु भरतो रिपुसूदन: ।। २.११०.
Susandhi had two sons, Dhruvasandhi and Prasenajit; from the renowned Dhruvasandhi was born Bharata, destroyer of enemies.
भरतात्तु महाबाहोरसितो नाम जायत । यस्यैते प्रतिराजान उदपद्यन्त शत्रव: । हैहयास्तालजङ्घाश्च शूराश्च शशिबिन्दव: ।। २.११०.
From Bharata, the mighty-armed, was born one named Asita; against him arose rival kings—Haihayas, Tāla-jaṅghas, and the valiant Śaśibindus.
तांस्तु सर्वान् प्रतिव्यूह्य युद्धे राजा प्रवासित: । स च शैलवरे रम्ये बभूवाभिरतो मुनि: ।। २.११०.
Having resisted all of them in battle, the king was exiled; he dwelt, devoted, as a sage in the beautiful chief of mountains.
द्वे चास्य भार्ये गर्भिण्यौ बभूवतुरिति श्रुति: । एका गर्भविनाशाय सपत्न्यै सगरं ददौ ।। २.११०.
It is said he had two wives, both pregnant; one, wishing to destroy the other's child, gave her a potion for miscarriage.
भार्गवश्च्यवनो नाम हिमवन्तमुपाश्रित: । तमृषिं समुपागम्य कालिन्दी त्वभ्यवादयत् ।। २.११०.
A Bhārgava sage named Cyavana, residing on Mount Himavat, was approached and respectfully greeted by Kālindī.
स तामभ्यवदद्विप्रो वरेप्सुं पुत्रजन्मनि । पुत्रस्ते भविता देवि महात्मा लोकविश्रुत: । धार्मिकश्च सुशीलश्च वंशकर्त्ता ऽरिसूदन: ।। २.११०.
The sage, seeing her desiring a son, spoke: 'O lady, you will have a son, a great soul, renowned in the world, righteous, virtuous, founder of a lineage, and destroyer of foes.'
कृत्वा प्रदक्षिणं हृष्टा मुनिं तमनुमान्य च । पद्मपत्रसमानाक्षं पद्मगर्भसमप्रभम् । तत: सा गृहमागम्य देवी पुत्रं व्यजायत ।। २.११०.
Having joyfully circled the sage and received his blessing, she, whose eyes were like lotus petals and whose radiance matched a lotus bud, returned home and gave birth to a son.
सपत्न्या तु गरस्तस्यै दत्तो गर्भजिघांसया । गरेण सह तेनैव जात: स सगरो ऽभवत् ।। २.११०.
But the co-wife, wishing to destroy her rival's child, gave her a potion; together with that potion, the child was born—he became Sagara.
स राजा सगरो नाम य: समुद्रमखानयत् । इष्ट्वा पर्वणि वेगेन त्रासयन्तमिमा: प्रजा: ।। २.११०.
There was a king named Sagara, who excavated the ocean; having performed sacrifices at the festival, he terrified these people with his speed.
असमञ्जस्तु पुत्रोभूत् सगरस्येति न: श्रुतम् । जीवन्नेव स पित्रा तु निरस्त: पापकर्मकृत् ।। २.११०.
Asamañja was the son of Sagara, as is known; while still alive, he was expelled by his father for committing wicked deeds.
अंशुमानपि पुत्रो ऽभूदसमञ्जस्य वीर्य्यवान् । दिलीपों ऽशुमत: पुत्रो दिलीपस्य भगीरथ: ।। २.११०.
Aṃśumān, renowned for his valor, was the son of Asamañja; Dilīpa was the son of Aṃśumān, and Bhagīratha was the son of Dilīpa.
भगीरथात् ककुत्स्थस्तु काकुत्स्था येन विश्रुता: । ककुत्स्थस्य च पुत्रो ऽभूद्रघुर्येन तु राघवा: ।। २.११०.
From Bhagīratha came Kakutstha, by whom the Kakutstha lineage became famous; and Kakutstha's son was Raghu, from whom the Raghus are named.
रघोस्तु पुत्रस्तेजस्वी प्रवृद्ध: पुरुषादक: । कल्माषपाद: सौदास इत्येवं प्रथितो भुवि ।। २.११०.
Raghu's son was powerful, renowned, and a devourer of men; he is known on earth as Kalmāṣapāda, Saudāsa.
कल्माषपादपुत्रो ऽभूच्छङ्खणस्त्विति विश्रुत: । यस्तु तद्वीर्यमासाद्य सहसैन्यो व्यनीनशत् ।। २.११०.
Kalmāṣapāda's son was Śaṅkhaṇa, as is well known; having acquired his father's strength, he destroyed a thousand armies.
शङ्खणस्य च पुत्रो ऽभूच्छूर: श्रीमान् सुदर्शन: । सुदर्शनस्याग्निवर्ण अग्निवर्णस्य शीघ्रग: ।। २.११०.
Śaṅkhaṇa's son was Sudarśana, a valiant and illustrious man; Sudarśana's son was Agnivarṇa, and Agnivarṇa's son was Śīghraga.
शीघ्रगस्य मरु: पुत्रो मरो: पुत्र: प्रशुश्रुक: । प्रशुश्रुकस्य पुत्रो ऽभूदम्बरीषो महाद्युति: ।। २.११०.
Śīghraga's son was Maru, Maru's son was Praśuśruka; Praśuśruka's son was Ambarīṣa, radiant with great splendor.
अम्बरीषस्य पुत्रो ऽभून्नहुष: सत्यविक्रम: । नहुषस्य च नाभाग: पुत्र: परमधार्मिक: ।। २.११०.
Ambarīṣa's son was Nahuṣa, steadfast in truth and valor; Nahuṣa's son was Nābhāga, supremely righteous.
अजश्च सुव्रतश्चैव नाभागस्य सुतावुभौ । अजस्य चैव धर्मात्मा राजा दशरथ: सुत: ।। २.११०.
Nābhāga had two sons, Aja and Suvrata; and Aja's son was the righteous king Daśaratha.
तस्य ज्येष्ठो ऽसि दायादो राम इत्यभिविश्रुत: । तद्गृहाण स्वकं राज्यमवेक्षस्व जनं नृप ।। २.११०.
You are his eldest and heir, renowned as Rāma; therefore, accept your own kingdom and look after the people, O king.
इक्ष्वाकूणां हि सर्वेषां राजा भवति पूर्वज: । पूर्वजे नावर: पुत्रो ज्येष्ठो राज्ये ऽभिषिच्यते ।। २.११०.
Among all the Ikṣvākus, the eldest becomes king; when there is an elder, the younger son is not consecrated for the throne.
स राघवाणां कुलधर्ममात्मन: सनातनं नाद्य विहन्तुमर्हसि । प्रभूतरत्नामनुशाधि मेदिनीं प्रभूतराष्ट्रां पितृवन्महायश: ।। २.११०.
You must not violate the ancient law of the Raghus and your own lineage today; rule the earth, rich in jewels and vast in realms, as your illustrious ancestors did.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये श्रीमदयोध्याकाण्डे दशोत्तरशततम: सर्ग:
Thus ends the one hundred and tenth chapter of the glorious Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa in the venerable Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, the first epic.
thumb|एकादशाधिकशततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center वसिष्ठस्तु तदा राममुक्त्वा राजपुरोऺहित: । अब्रवीद्धर्मसंयुक्तं पुनरेवापरं वच: ।। २.१११.
Then Vasiṣṭha, having spoken to Rāma, the royal priest, addressed another speech, filled with righteousness.
पुरुषस्येह जातस्य भवन्ति गुरवस्त्रय: । आचार्य्यश्चैव काकुत्स्थ पिता माता च राघव ।। २.१११.
For a person born in this world, there are three elders: the teacher, the father, and the mother, O descendant of Kakutstha.
पिता ह्येनं जनयति पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ । प्रज्ञां ददाति चाचार्यस्तस्मात्स गुरुरुच्यते ।। २.१११.
The father gives birth to the man, O best of men; the teacher imparts wisdom, and therefore he is called 'guru.'
सो ऽहं ते पितुराचार्य्यस्तव चैव परन्तप । मम त्वं वचनं कुर्वन् नातिवर्त्ते: सताङ्गतिम् ।। २.१११.
Thus, I am your father's teacher and yours as well, O destroyer of foes; by following my words, you will not deviate from the path of the virtuous.
