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.
इमा हि ते परिषद: श्रेणयश्च द्विजास्तथा । एषु तात चरन् धर्मं नातिवर्त्ते: सताङ्गतिम् ।। २.१११.
Indeed, these assemblies, these groups, and the twice-born as well, O dear one, by following righteousness among them, one does not depart from the path of the virtuous.
वृद्धाया धर्मशीलाया मातुर्नार्हस्यवर्त्तितुम् । अस्यास्तु वचनं कुर्वन् नातिवर्त्ते: सताङ्गतिम् ।। २.१११.
One should not disregard the words of one's aged and righteous mother; by obeying her command, one does not stray from the way of the virtuous.
भरतस्य वच: कुर्वन् याचमानस्य राघव । आत्मानं नातिवर्त्तेस्त्वं सत्यधर्मपराक्रम ।। २.१११.
By fulfilling the request of Bharata, who is pleading, O Rāghava, you do not depart from your own self, you who are devoted to truth and righteousness.
एवं मधुरमुक्तस्तु गुरुणा राघव: स्वयम् । प्रत्युवाच समासीनं वसिष्ठं पुरुषर्षभ: ।। २.१११.
Thus, when spoken sweetly by his teacher, Rāghava himself replied to the seated Vasiṣṭha, the best among men.
यन्मातापितरौ वृत्तं तनये कुरुत: सदा । न सुप्रतिकरं तत्तु मात्रा पित्रा च यत्कृतम् ।। २.१११.
Whatever parents do for their child, that can never be fully repaid; what is done by mother and father cannot be compensated.
यथाशक्ति प्रदानेन स्नापनोच्छादनेन च । नित्यं च प्रियवादेन तथा संवर्द्धनेन च ।। २.१११.
By giving as much as one is able, by bathing and clothing, by always speaking kindly, and by nurturing, one repays them as best as possible.
स हि राजा जनयिता पिता दशरथो मम । आज्ञातं यन्मया तस्य न तन्मिथ्या भविष्यति ।। २.१११.
He is my father, Daśaratha, the king and my progenitor; whatever command of his I have received will not be disregarded by me.
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण भरत: प्रत्यनन्तरम् । उवाच परमोदार: सूतं परमदुर्मना: ।। २.१११.
When Rāma had spoken thus, Bharata, noble-hearted and deeply distressed, immediately addressed the charioteer.
इह मे स्थण्डिले शीघ्रं कुशानास्तर सारथे । आर्य्यं प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यामि यावन्मे न प्रसीदति ।। २.१११.
Quickly spread out kuśa grass for me here on the ground, O charioteer; I will sit facing my noble brother until he is pleased with me.
अनाहारो निरालोको धनहीनो यथा द्विज: । शेष्ये पुरस्तात् शालाया यावन्न प्रतियास्यति ।। २.१११.
Without food, without light, deprived of wealth like a twice-born, I will lie before the shelter until he returns.
