2. Intent on mobilising the army of Sugreeva, on the

day break, Rama, distressed out of separation

from his beloved SitA, beheld a Raja Hamsa(King of

Swans), playful in a lotus pond, as delightful &

effulgent as the rays of the full moon.

 

 

3. Tasmin sItA gatim anugatE taddukUlAnka mUrtau

TanmanjIra pratima ninadE nyasta nispanda drshti:||

VIra: chEtO vilayamagamat tanmayAtmA muhUrtham

ShankE tIvram bhavati samayE SAsanam mInakEtO: ||

 

3. Steadily beholding the Swan, which was as bright &

spotless as the garb of his beloved;

whose gait was as graceful and charming as that of

hers & whose cackling was consonant with the

mellifluous tinkling of her anklets, Rama, immersed in

her thoughts(being reminded of her), though

stout of heart stood stupefied, overcome by passion,

for at times, Cupid (God of love), reigns supreme &

severely overrules even the strongest of men.

 

 

4. LabdhAsvAsa: kathamapi tadA lakshmanasyAgrajanmA

SandESEna praNaya mahatA maithilIm jIvayishyan|

CakrE tasmai sarasija daLai: sOpachArAm saparyAm

KAmASlEshAt adhika subhaga: kAminAm dUta lAbha: ||

 

4. Having recovered from that trance with great

difficulty, He, the brother of Lakshmana, enlivening

his

beloved with the message of love (to be sent through

that swan), honoured him by serving him with lotus

petals

(supposed to be very favourite to the swan), for,

acquiring an envoy is much more comforting than the

union with one's beloved itself.

5. Having bestowed more honours on him compared to

Hanuman, RAma, burning with passion,

solicited his service (as to convey his message of

love), who was but mute, for, at times when

people afflicted with separation, manifest their

desparate act of appealing even to inanimate things

like mountain, tree, cloud etc, wherefore any surprise

at a living being, being sought after.
