Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 This verse is attributed to Srila Bilvamangala Thakura: ramo nama babhuva hum tad-abala siteti hum tam pitur vaca pancavati-vane viharatas tasyharad ravanah | nidrartham janaki-katham iti harer hum-karatah srnvatah saumitre kva dhanur dhanur dhanur iti vyagra girah pantu nah || [Mother Yasoda is telling Sri Krsna a story:] "There was once a king named Rama." "Mm-hm." "His wife was Sita." "Mm-hm." "As they went to the Pancavati forest by his father's order, Ravana kidnapped her." The story was intended to put Him to sleep, and Hari was responding, "Mm-hmm," as He listened. [but upon] hearing about Janaki, He [suddenly jumped up and] said--"Laksmana! My bow, my bow! Where's My bow!" May these agitated words protect us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 Also from Bilvamangala Thakura: ete laksmana janaki-virahitam mam khedayanty ambuda marmaniva ca ghattayanty alam ami krurah kadambanilah | ittham vyahrta-purva-janma-carito yo radhaya viksitah sersyam sankitaya sa nah sukhayatu svapnayamano harih || 'O Laksmana, bereft of Janaki, these clouds merely pain me. The [now] cruel, kadamba-scented breezes torment me, to my very soul.' May the sleeping Lord Hari--whom the vexed and suspicious Srimati Radharani saw murmuring His previous life's agitations like this-- delight us all.
