Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

(27) 1 佛所行讃合宮憂悲品第八 
 
VARGA 8. THE GENERAL GRIEF OF THE PALACE. 
Book VIII [Lamentations in the Palace] 
tatas turaṃgāvacaraḥ sa durmanās tathā vanaṃ bhartari nirmame gate |

570. Kandaka leading back the horse, opening the way for his heart’s sorrow, as he went on, lamented and wept: unable to disburthen his soul. 
1. Meanwhile the attendant of the horse, in deep distress, when his unselfish master thus went into the forest, made every effort in the road to dissolve his load of sorrow, and yet in spite of it all not a tear dropped from him. 
yam ekarātreṇa tu bhartur ājñayā jagāma mārgaṃ saha tena vājinā |

(3)徘徊心顧戀 八日乃至城

571. First of all with the royal prince, passing along the road for one night, but now dismissed and ordered to return. As the darkness of night closed on him,
572. Irresolute he wavered in mind. On the eighth day approaching the city, 
2. But the road which by his lord’s command he had traversed in one night with that horse,--that same road he now travelled in eight days, pondering his lord’s absence. 
hayaś ca saujā vicacāra3 kanthakas tatāma bhāvena babhūva nirmadaḥ |

de ltar rgyan de rnams kyis brgyan par byas na yaṅ | | de yis dor bas dpal ni soṅ ba bźin du gyur | | 
the noble horse pressed onwards, exhibiting all his qualities of speed;
573. But yet hesitating as he looked around and beheld not the form of the royal prince; 
3. And the horse Kanthaka, though he still went on bravely, flagged and had lost all spirit in his heart; and decked though he was with ornaments, he had lost all his beauty when bereft of his master. 
nivṛtya caivābhimukhas tapovanaṃ bhṛśaṃ jiheṣe karuṇaṃ muhur muhuḥ |
kṣudhānvito ’py adhvani śaṣpam ambu vā yathā purā nābhinananda nādade || 8.4 || 
(6)流涙四體垂 憔悴失光澤
(7)旋轉慟悲鳴 日夜忘水草

his four members bent down with toil, his head and neck deprived of their glossy look,
574. Whinnying as he went on with grief, he refused night and day his grass and water, 
4. And turning round towards that ascetic-grove, he neighed repeatedly with a mournful sound; and though pressed with hunger, he welcomed not nor tasted any grass or water on the road, as before. 
tato vihīnaṃ kapilāhvayaṃ puraṃ mahātmanā tena jagaddhitātmanā |
krameṇa tau śūnyam ivopajagmatur divākareṇeva vinākṛtaṃ nabhaḥ || 8.5 || 
(8)遺失3 救世主 4 還歸迦毘羅
(9)國土悉廓然 如5 入空聚落
(10)如日6 隱須彌 7 擧世悉曛冥

ñin mor byed pas bor ba’i nam mkha’ ’bras med bźin | | rim gyis de gñis (28a1)stoṅ pa bźin du ñe bar soṅ | | 
because he had lost his lord, the deliverer of men. Returning thus to Kapilavastu,
575. The whole country appeared withered and bare, as when one comes back to a deserted village; or as when the sun hidden behind Sumeru causes darkness to spread over the world. 
5. Slowly they two at last came back to the city called after Kapila, which seemed empty when deserted by that hero who was bent on the salvation of the world,--like the sky bereft of the sun. 
sapuṇḍarīkair api śobhitaṃ jalair alaṃkṛtaṃ puṣpadharair nagair api |
tad eva tasyopavanaṃ vanopamaṃ gatapraharṣair na rarāja nāgaraiḥ || 8.6 || 
(11)泉池不澄清 華果不榮茂
(12)巷路諸士女 憂慼失歡容

groṅ khyer pa rnams rab tu dga’ ba soṅ gyur te | | de yi ñe ba’i nags de nags ltar mdzes ma gyur | | 
576. The fountains of water sparkled no more, the flowers and fruits were withered and dead, the men and women in the streets seemed lost in grief and dismay. 
6. Bright as it was with lotus-covered waters, adorned also with trees full of flowers, that garden of his, which was now like a forest, was no longer gay with citizens who had lost all their gladness. 
tato bhramadbhir diśi dīnamānasair anujjvalair bāṣpa4 hatekṣaṇair naraiḥ |
nivāryamāṇāv iva tāv ubhau puraṃ śanair apasnātam5 ivābhijagmatuḥ || 8.7 || 
(13)車匿與白馬 悵怏行不前
(14)問事不能答 遲遲若尸行

’oṅ du mi ster ba bźin gñis po de groṅ du | | dal bus log pa’i khrus bźin mṅon par soṅ bar gyur | | 
577. Thus Kandaka with the white horse went on sadly and with slow advance, silent to those enquiring, wearily progressing as when accompanying a funeral; 
7. Then those two,--who were as it were silently forbidden by the sad inhabitants who were wandering in that direction, their brightness gone and their eyes dim with tears,--slowly entered the city which seemed all bathed in gloom. 
niśāmya6 ca srastaśarīragāminau vināgatau śākyakularṣabheṇa tau |

8. Rāma.

(3)sṅon tshe śiṅ rta bcu pa’i śiṅ rta ’oṅs pa bźin | | grod khyer skye bo rnams ni lam du mchi ma phyuṅ | | 
578. So they went on, whilst all the spectators seeing Kandaka, but not observing the royal Sâkya prince, raised piteous cries of lamentation and wept; as when the charioteer returned without Râma. 
8. Having heard that they had returned with their limbs all relaxed, coming back without the pride of the Sâkya race, the men of the city shed tears in the road, as when in old days the chariot of the son of Dasaratha came back. 
atha bruvantaḥ samupetamanyavo janāḥ pathi cchandakam āgatāśravaḥ |
kva rājaputraḥ pura8 rāṣṭranandano9 hṛtas tvayāsāv iti pṛṣṭhato ’nvayuḥ || 8.9 || 
(17)有人來路傍 傾身問車匿
(18)王子世所愛 擧國人之命
(19)汝輒盜將去 今爲何所在

groṅ khyer yul ’khor dga’ mdzad rgyal bo’i sras po de | | khyed kyis gaṅ du bor źes rgyab nas rjes su (4)’gro | | 
579. Then one by the side of the road, with his body bent, called out to Kandaka: ’The prince, beloved of the world, the defender of his people,
580. ’The one you have taken away by stealth, where dwells he now?’ 
9. Full of wrath, the people followed Chandaka in the road, crying behind him with tears, ‘Where is the king’s son, the glory of his race and kingdom? he has been stolen away by thee.’ 
tataḥ sa tān bhaktimato ’bravīj janān narendraputraṃ na parityajāmy aham |
rudann ahaṃ tena tu nirjane vane gṛhasthaveśaś ca visarjitāv iti || 8.10 || 
(20)車匿抑悲心 而答衆人言
(21)我眷戀追逐 不捨於王子
(22)王子9 捐棄我 并10 捨11 俗威儀
(23)剃頭被法服 12 遂入苦行林 
de nas gus ldan skye bo de la des smras pa | | mi dbaṅ sras po bdag gis yoṅs su bor ba min | |
du bźin skye bo med pa’i nags su kho bo daṅ | | khyim bdag cha lugs dag kyaṅ de yis rnam par spaṅs | | 
Kandaka, then, with sorrowful heart, replied to the people and said:
581. ’I with loving purpose followed after him whom I loved; ’tis not I who have deserted the prince,
but by him have I been sent away; (by him) who now has given up his ordinary adornments,
582. ’And with shaven head and religious garb, has entered the sorrow-giving grove.’ 
10. Then he said to those faithful ones, I have not left the king’s son; but by him in the uninhabited forest I weeping and the dress of a householder were abandoned together.’ 
idaṃ vacas tasya niśamya te janāḥ suduṣkaraṃ khalv iti niścayaṃ yayuḥ |
patad dhi jahruḥ10 salilaṃ na netrajaṃ mano nininduś ca phalottham11 ātmanaḥ || 8.11 || 
(24)衆人聞出家 驚起奇特想
(25)嗚咽而啼泣 涕涙交流下

’gyel źiṅ mig skyes chu ni rnam par ’thor ba ste | | yid la smod ciṅ bdag ñid kyis ni ’bras bu loṅ | | 
Then the men hearing that he had become an ascetic, were oppressed with thoughts of wondrous boding (unusual thoughts);
583. They sighed with heaviness and wept, and as their tears coursed down their cheeks, 
11. Having heard these words of his those crowds adopted a most difficult resolve; they did not wipe away the tears which fell from their eyes, and they blamed their own (evil) hearts on account of the consequences of their actions; 
athocur adyaiva viśāma tad vanaṃ gataḥ sa yatra dviparājavikramaḥ |
jijīviṣā nāsti hi tena no vinā yathendriyāṇāṃ vigame śarīriṇām || 8.12 || 
(26)各各相告語 我等作何計
(27)衆人咸議言 悉當追隨去
(28)如人命根壞 身死形神離

lus can dbaṅ po ma tshaṅ rnams (6)kyi ji lta bar | | de dag bral bas bdag cag ’tshe bar ’dod pa med | | 
they spake thus one to the other: ’What then shall we do (by way of expedient)?’
584. Then they all exclaimed at once, ’Let us haste after him in pursuit; for as when a man’s bodily functions fail, his frame dies and his spirit flees, 
12. Then they said, ‘Let us go this very day into that forest, whither he is gone, whose gait is like the king of elephants; without him we have no wish to live, like the senses when the souls depart. 
idaṃ puraṃ tena vivarjitaṃ vanaṃ vanaṃ ca tat tena samanvitaṃ puram |
na śobhate tena hi no vinā puraṃ marutvatā vṛtravadhe yathā divam || 8.13 || 
(29)王子是我命 失命我豈生
(14c1)此邑成丘林 彼林13 城郭邑
(2)此城失威徳 如殺毘14 梨多

lha ni lha min gsod tshe brgya byin gyis ji ltar | | de dag bral bas bdag gi groṅ khyer mdzes ma gyur | | 
585. ’So is the prince our life, and he our life gone, how shall we survive? This city, perfected with slopes and woods; those woods, that cover the slopes of the city,
586. ’All deprived of grace, ye lie as Bharata when killed!’ 
13. ‘This city bereft of him is a forest, and that forest which possesses him is a city; the city without him has no charms for us, like heaven without the lord of the Maruts, when Vritra was slain.’ 
punaḥ kumāro vinivṛtta ity atho gavākṣamālāḥ pratipedire ’ṅganāḥ |
viviktapṛṣṭhaṃ ca niśāmya12 vājinaṃ punar gavākṣāṇi pidhāya cukruśuḥ || 8.14 || 
(3)城内諸士女 虚傳王子還
(4)奔馳出路15 上 唯見馬空歸
(5)莫知其存亡 悲泣種種聲

mgyogs ’gro’i rgyab ni rnam par dben ba mthoṅ gyur nas | | slar yaṅ skar khuṅ rnams ni rnam par bkag nas du | | 
Then the men and women within the town, vainly supposing the prince had come back,
587. In haste rushed out to the heads of the way, and seeing the horse returning alone, not knowing whether he (the prince) was safe or lost, began to weep and to raise every piteous sound; 
14. Next the women crowded to the rows of windows, crying to one another, ‘The prince has returned;’ but having heard that his horse had an empty back, they closed the windows again and wailed aloud. 
praviṣṭadīkṣas tu sutopalabdhaye vratena śokena ca khinnamānasaḥ |

(6)車匿歩牽馬 歔欷垂涙還

588. (And said, ’Behold!) Kandaka advancing slowly with the horse, comes back with sighs and tears; surely he grieves because the prince is lost.’ And thus sorrow is added to sorrow!
589. Then like a captive warrior is drawn before the king his master, 
15. But the king, having undertaken religious observances for the recovery of his son, with his mind distressed by the vow and the sorrow, was muttering prayers in the temple, and performing such rites as suited the occasion. 
tataḥ sa bāṣpa14 pratipūrṇalocanas turaṃgam ādāya turaṃgamānugaḥ15 |

so did he enter the gates with tears, his eyes filled so that he said nought.
590. Then looking up to heaven he loudly groaned; and the white horse too whined piteously; 
16. Then with his eyes filled with tears,--taking the horse, his whole soul fixed on the horse,--overcome with grief he entered the palace as if his master had been killed by an enemy.

then all the varied birds and beasts in the palace court, and all the horses within the stables,
591. Hearing the sad whinnying of the royal steed, replied in answer to him, thinking ’now the prince has come back.’ But seeing him not, they ceased their cries! 
17. And entering the royal stable, looking about with his eyes full of tears, Kanthaka uttered a loud sound, as if he were uttering his woe to the people. 
tataḥ khagāś ca kṣayamadhyagocarāḥ samīpabaddhās turagāś ca satkṛtāḥ |

592. And now the women of the after-palace, (hearing the cries of the horses, birds, and beasts,) their hair dishevelled, their faces wan and yellow, their forms sickly to look at, their mouths and lips parched,
593. Their garments torn and unwashed, the soil and heat not cleansed from their bodies, 
18. Then the birds that fed in the middle of the house, and the carefully cherished horses that were tied near by, re-echoed the sound of that horse, thinking that it might be the return of the prince. 
janāś ca harṣātiśayena vañcitā janādhipāntaḥpurasaṃnikarṣagāḥ |

19. And the people, deceived by an excessive joy, who were in the neighbourhood of the king’s inner apartments, thought in their hearts, ‘Since the horse Kanthaka neighs, it must be that the prince is coming.’

20. Then the women, who were fainting with sorrow, now in wild joy, with their eyes rolling to see the prince, rushed out of the palace full of hope, like flickering lightnings from an autumn cloud.

their ornaments all thrown aside, disconsolate and sad, cheerless in face,
594. Raised their bodies, without any grace, even as the feeble (little) morning star (or stars of morning); their garments torn and knotted, soiled like the appearance of a robber, 
21. With their dress hanging down, and their linen garments soiled, their faces untouched by collyrium and with eyes dimmed by tears; dark and discoloured and destitute of all painting, like the stars in the sky, pale-red with the ending of night;

22. With their feet unstained by red, and undecked by anklets,--their faces without earrings, and their ears in their native simplicity,--their loins with only nature’s fulness, and uncircled by any girdle,--and their bosoms bare of strings of pearls as if they had been robbed.

595. Seeing Kandaka and the royal horse shedding tears instead of the hoped-for return, they all, assembled thus, uttered their cry, even as those who weep for one beloved just dead;
596. Confused and wildly they rushed about, as a herd of oxen that have lost their way. 
23. But when they saw Chandaka standing helpless, his eyes filled with tears, and the horse, the noble women wept with pale faces, like cows abandoned by the bull in the midst of the forest.

Mahâpragâpati Gôtamî, hearing that the prince had not returned,
597. Fell fainting on the ground, her limbs entirely deprived of strength,
even as some mad tornado wind crushes the golden-colour’d plantain tree;
598. And again, hearing that her son had become a recluse, deeply sighing and with increased sadness she thought,
’Alas! those glossy locks turning to the right, each hair produced from each orifice,
599. ’Dark and pure, gracefully shining, sweeping the earth when loose, or when so determined, bound together in a heavenly crown, and now shorn and lying in the grass!
600. ’Those rounded shoulders and that lion step! Those eyes broad as the ox-king’s, that body shining bright as yellow gold; that square breast and Brahma voice;
601. ’That you! possessing all these excellent qualities, should have entered on the sorrow-giving forest; what fortune now remains for the world, losing thus the holy king of earth?
602. ’That those delicate and pliant feet, pure as the lily and of the same colour, should now be torn by stones and thorns; O how can such feet tread on such ground!
603. ’Born and nourished in the guarded palace, clad with garments of the finest texture, washed in richly-scented water, anointed with the choicest perfumes,
604. ’And now exposed to chilling blasts and dews of night, O! where during the heat or the chilly morn can rest be found!
Thou flower of all thy race! Confessed by all the most renowned!
605. ’Thy virtuous qualities everywhere talked of and exalted, ever reverenced, without self-seeking! why hast thou unexpectedly brought thyself upon some morn to beg thy food for life!
606. ’Thou who wert wont to repose upon a soft and kingly couch, and indulge in every pleasure during thy waking hours, how canst thou now endure the mountain and the forest wilds, on the bare grass to make thyself a resting-place!’
607. Thus thinking of her son--her heart was full of sorrow, disconsolate she lay upon the earth. The waiting women raised her up, and dried the tears from off her face, 
24. Then the king’s principal queen Gautamî, like a fond cow that has lost her calf, fell bursting into tears on the ground with outstretched arms, like a golden plantain-tree with trembling leaves.

608. Whilst all the other courtly ladies, overpowered with grief, their limbs relaxed, their minds bound fast with woe, unmoved they sat like pictured-folk. 
25. Some of the other women, bereft of their brightness and with arms and souls lifeless, and seeming to have lost their senses in their despondency, raised no cry, shed no tear, and breathed not, standing senseless as if painted.

26. Others as having lost all self-control, fainting in their sorrow for their lord, their faces pouring tears from their eyes, watered their bosoms from which all sandal-wood was banished, like a mountain the rocks with its streams.

27. Then that royal palace was illumined with their faces pelted by the tears from their eyes, as a lake in the time of the first rains with its dripping lotuses pelted by the rain from the clouds.

28. The noble women beat their breasts with their lotus-like hands, falling incessantly, whose fingers were round and plump, which had their arteries hidden and bore no ornaments,--as creepers tossed by the wind strike themselves with their shoots.

29. And again how those women shine forth, as their bosoms rose up together after the blow from the hand, and trembled with the shock, like the streams, when their pairs of ruddy geese shake, as the lotuses on which they sit wave about with the wind from the wood.

30. As they pressed their breasts with their hands, so too they pressed their hands with their breasts,--dull to all feelings of pity, they made their hands and bosoms inflict mutual pains on each other.

609. And now Yasodharâ deeply chiding, spoke thus to Kandaka: ’Where now dwells he, who ever dwells within my mind?
610. ’You two went forth, the horse a third, but now two only have returned! 
31. Then thus spoke Yasodharâ, shedding tears with deep sorrow, her bosom heaving with her sighs, her eyes discoloured with aneer, and her voice choking with emotion through the influence of despondency:

My heart is utterly o’er-borne with grief, filled with anxious thoughts, it cannot rest.
611. ’And you deceitful man! Untrustworthy and false associate! 
32. ‘Leaving me helplessly asleep in the night, whither, O Chandaka, is he, the desire of my heart, gone? and when thou and Kanthaka are alone come back, while three went away together, my mind trembles.

evil contriver! plainly revealed a traitor, a smile lurks underneath thy tears!
612. ’Escorting him in going; returning now with wails! 
33. ‘Why dost thou weep to-day, O cruel one, having done a dishonourable, pitiless, and unfriendly deed to me? Cease thy tears and be content in thy heart,--tears and that deed of thine ill agree.

Not one at heart--but in league against him--openly constituted a friend and well-wisher, concealing underneath a treacherous purpose;
613. ’So thou hast caused the sacred prince to go forth once and not return again! 
34. ‘Through thee, his dear obedient faithful loyal companion, always doing what was right, the son of my lord is gone never to return,--rejoice,--all hail! thy pains have gained their end.

No questioning the joy you feel! Having done ill you now enjoy the fruit;
614. ’Better far to dwell with an enemy of wisdom, than work with one who, while a fool, professes friendship. 
35. ‘Better for a man a wise enemy rather than a foolish friend unskilled in emergencies; by thee, the unwise self-styled friend, a great calamity has been brought upon this family.

Openly professing sweetness and light, inwardly a scheming and destructive enemy.
615. ’And now this royal and kingly house, in one short morn is crushed and ruined!
All these fair and queen-like women, with grief o’erwhelmed, their beauty marred,
616. ’Their breathing choked with tears and sobs, their faces soiled with crossing tracks of grief!
Even the queen (Mâyâ) when in life, resting herself on him, as the great snowy mountains
617. ’Repose upon the widening earth, through grief in thought of What would happen, died. 
36. ‘These women are sorely to be pitied who have put away their ornaments, having their eyes red and dimmed with continuous tears, who are as it were desolate widows, though their lord still stands as unshaken as the earth or Mount Himavat.

How sad the lot of these--within these open lattices--these weeping ones, these deeply wailing!
618. ’Born in another state than hers in heaven, how can their grief be borne!’ 
37. ‘And these lines of palaces seem to weep aloud, flinging up their dovecots for arms, with the long unbroken moan of their doves,--separated verily, with him, from all who could restrain them.

Then speaking to the horse she said, ’Thou unjust! what dullness this--to carry off a man,
619. ’As in the darkness some wicked thief bears off a precious gem. 
38. ‘Even that horse Kanthaka without doubt desired my utter ruin; for he bore away from hence my treasure when all were sound asleep in the night,--like one who steals jewels.

When riding thee in time of battle, swords, and javelins and arrows,
620. ’None of these alarmed or frighted thee! But now what fitfulness of temper this,
to carry off by violence, to rob my soul of one, the choicest jewel of his tribe.
621. ’O! thou art but a vicious reptile, to do such wickedness as this! 
39. ‘When he was able to bear even the onsets of arrows, and still more the strokes of whips,--how then for fear of the fall of a whip, could he go carrying with him my prosperity and my heart together?

to-day thy woeful lamentation sounds everywhere within these palace walls,
622. ’But when you stole away my cherished one, why wert thou dumb and silent then! 
40. ‘The base creature now neighs loudly, filling the king’s palace with the sound; but when he carried away my beloved, then this vilest of horses was dumb.

if then thy voice had sounded loud, and roused the palace inmates from their sleep,
623. ’If then they had awoke and slumbered not, there would not have ensued the present sorrow.’ 
41. ‘If he had neighed and so woke up the people, or had even made a noise with his hoofs on the ground, or had made the loudest sound he could with his jaws, my grief would not have been so great.’

Kandaka, hearing these sorrowful words, drawing in his breath and composing himself,
624. Wiping away his tears, with hands clasped together, answered: ’Listen to me, I pray, in self-justification-- 
42. Having thus heard the queen’s words, their syllables choked with tears and full of lament, slowly Chandaka uttered this answer, with his face bent down, his voice low with tears, and his hands clasped in supplication:

be not suspicious of, nor blame the royal horse, nor be thou angry with me either.
625. ’For in truth, no fault has been committed (by us). It is the gods who have effected this. 
43. ‘Surely, O queen, thou wilt not blame Kanthaka nor wilt thou show thy anger against me, know that we two are entirely guiltless,--that god amongst men, O queen, is gone away like a god.

For I, indeed, extremely reverenced the king’s command, it was the gods who drove him to the solitudes,
626. ’Urgently leading on the horse with him: thus they went together fleet as with wings, his breathing hushed! suppressed was every sound, his feet scarce touched the earth! 
44. ‘I indeed, though I well knew the king’s command, as though dragged by force by some divine powers, brought quickly to him this swift steed, and followed him on the road unwearied.

627. ’The city gates wide opening of themselves! all space self-lighted! this was the work indeed of the gods; and what was I, or what my strength, compared with theirs?’ 
46. ‘When the prince went out, then the gate was thrown open of its own accord; and the darkness of the night was, as it were, pierced by the sun,--we may learn from hence too that this was the ordering of fate.

49. ‘Do not therefore assume that his departure arises from the fault of either of us, O queen; neither I nor this horse acted by our own choice; he went on his way with the gods as his retinue.’

628. Yasodharâ hearing these words, her heart was lost in deep consideration! the deeds accomplished by the gods could not be laid to others’ charge, as faults; 
50. Having thus heard the history of the prince’s departure, so marvellous in many ways, those women, as though losing their grief, were filled with wonder, but they again took up their distress at the thought of his becoming an ascetic.

51. With her eyes filled with the tears of despondency, wretched like an osprey who has lost her young,--Gautamî abandoning all self-control wailed aloud,--she fainted, and with a weeping face exclaimed:

53. ‘With his long arms and lion-gait, his bull-like eye, and his beauty bright like gold, his broad chest, and his voice deep as a drum or a cloud, should such a hero as this dwell in a hermitage?

54. ‘This earth is indeed unworthy as regards that peerless doer of noble actions, for such a virtuous hero has gone away from her,--it is the merits and virtues of the subjects which produce their king.

55. ‘Those two feet of his, tender, with their beautiful web spread between the toes, with their ankles concealed, and soft like a blue lotus,--how can they, bearing a wheel marked in the middle, walk on the hard ground of the skirts of the forest?

56. ‘That body, which deserves to sit or lie on the roof of a palace,--honoured with costly garments, aloes, and sandal-wood,--how will that manly body live in the woods, exposed to the attacks of the cold, the heat, and the rain?

57. ‘He who was proud of his family, goodness, strength, energy, sacred learning, beauty, and youth,--who was ever ready to give, not to ask,--how will he go about begging alms from others?

58. ‘He who, lying on a spotless golden bed, was awakened during the night by the concert of musical instruments,--how alas! will he, my ascetic, sleep to-day on the bare ground with only one rag of cloth interposed?’

59. Having heard this piteous lamentation, the women, embracing one another with their arms, rained the tears from their eyes, as the shaken creepers drop honey from their flowers.

629. And so she ceased her angry chiding, and allowed her great, consuming grief to smoulder. Thus prostrate on the ground she muttered out her sad complaints, ’That the two ringed-birds (doves) should be divided! 
60. Then Yasodharâ fell upon the ground, like the ruddy goose parted from her mate, and in utter bewilderment she slowly lamented, with her voice repeatedly stopped by sobs:

630. ’Now,’ she cried, ’my stay and my support is lost, between those once agreed in life (religious life), separation has sprung up! those who were at one (as to religion) are now divided, (let go their common action)! where shall I seek another mode of (religious) life? 
61. ‘If he wishes to practise a religious life after abandoning me his lawful wife widowed,--where is his religion, who wishes to follow penance without his lawful wife to share it with him?

631. ’In olden days the former conquerors (Ginas?) greatly rejoiced to see their kingly retinue; these with their wives in company, in search of highest wisdom, roamed through groves and plains.
632. ’And now, that he should have deserted me! and what is the religious state he seeks! 
62. ‘He surely has never heard of the monarchs of olden times, his own ancestors, Mahâsudarsa and the rest,--how they went with their wives into the forest,--that he thus wishes to follow a religious life without me.

the Brahman ritual respecting sacrifice, requires the wife to take part in the offering,
633. ’And because they both share in the service they shall both receive a common reward hereafter! but you (O prince!) art niggard in your religious rites, driving me away, and wandering forth alone! 
63. ‘He does not see that husband and wife are both consecrated in sacrifices, and both purified by the performance of the rites of the Veda, and both destined to enjoy the same results afterwards,--he therefore grudges me a share in his merit.

634. ’Is it that you saw me jealous, and so turned against me! that you now seek some one free from jealousy! or did you see some other cause to hate me, that you now seek to find a heaven-born nymph! 
64. ‘Surely it must be that this fond lover of religion, knowing that my mind was secretly quarrelling even with my beloved, lightly and without fear has deserted me thus angry, in the hope to obtain heavenly nymphs in lndra’s world!

635. ’But why should one excelling in every personal grace seek to practise self-denying austerities! is it that you despise a common lot with me, that variance rises in your breast against your wife! 
65. ‘But what kind of a thought is this of mine? those women even there have the attributes which belong to bodies,--for whose sake he thus practises austerities in the forest, deserting his royal magnificence and my fond devotion.

636. ’Why does not Rahula fondly repose upon your knee. Alas! alas! unlucky master! full of grace without, but hard (diamond) at heart! 
67. ‘Even if I am unworthy to look on my husbands face with its long eyes and bright smile, still is this poor Râhula never to roll about in his father’s lap?

637. ’The glory and the pride of all your tribe, yet hating those who reverence you! O! can it be, you have turned your back for good (upon) your little child, scarce able yet to smile! 
68. ‘Alas! the mind of that wise hero is terribly stern,--gentle as his beauty seems, it is pitilessly cruel,--who can desert of his own accord such an infant son with his inarticulate talk, one who would charm even an enemy.

638. ’My heart is gone! and all my strength! my lord has fled, to wander in the mountains! he cannot surely thus forget me! he is then but a man of wood or stone.’ 
69. ‘My heart too is certainly most stern, yea, made of rock or fashioned even of iron, which does not break when its lord is gone to the forest, deserted by his royal glory like an orphan,--he so well worthy of happiness.’

639. Thus having spoken, her mind was dulled and darkened, she muttered on, or spoke in wild mad words, or fancied that she saw strange sights, and sobbing past the power of self-restraint,
640. Her breath grew less, and sinking thus, she fell asleep upon the dusty ground! 
70. So the queen, fainting in her woe, wept and pondered and wailed aloud repeatedly,--self-possessed as she was by nature, yet in her distress she remembered not her fortitude and felt no shame.

The palace ladies seeing this, were wrung with heartfelt sorrow,
641. Just as the full-blown lily, struck by the wind and hail, is broken down and withered. 
71. Seeing Yasodharâ thus bewildered with her wild utterances of grief and fallen on the ground, all the women cried out with their faces streaming with tears like large lotuses beaten by the rain.

And now the king, his father, having lost the prince, was filled, both night and day, with grief;
642. And fasting, sought the gods (for help).
He prayed that they would soon restore him, and having prayed and finished sacrifice, he went from out the sacred gates;
643. Then hearing all the cries and sounds of mourning, his mind distressed became confused, as when heaven’s thundering and lightning put to bewildering flight a herd of elephants. 
72. But the king, having ended his prayers, and performed the auspicious rites of the sacrifice, now came out of the temple; and being smitten by the wailing sound of the people, he tottered like an elephant at the crash of a thunderbolt.

644. Then seeing Kandaka with the royal steed, after long questioning, finding his son a hermit, fainting he fell upon the earth, as when the flag of Indra falls and breaks. 
73. Having heard (of the arrival) of both Chandaka and Kanthaka, and having learned the fixed resolve of his son, the lord of the earth fell struck down by sorrow like the banner of Indra when the festival is over.

645. Then all the ministers of state, upraising him, exhort him, as was right, to calm himself. After a while, his mind somewhat recovered, speaking to the royal steed, he said: 
74. Then the king, distracted by his grief for his son, being held up for a moment by his attendants all of the same race, gazed on the horse with his eyes filled with tears, and then falling on the ground wailed aloud:

646. ’How often have I ridden thee to battle, and every time have thought upon (commended) your excellence! but now I hate and loathe thee, more than ever I have loved or praised thee! 
75. ‘After having done many dear exploits for me in battle, one great deed of cruelty, O Kanthaka, hast thou done,--for by thee that dear son of mine, dear for his every virtue, has been tossed down in the wood, dear as he was, like a worthless thing.

76. ‘Therefore either lead me to-day where he is, or go quickly and bring him back again; without him there is no life left to me, as to one plunged in sickness without the true medicine.

as the Brahman Gayanta met death for his son’s sake,
650. ’So I, deprived of my religious son, will of myself deprive myself of life.
So Manu, lord of all that lives, ever lamented for his son;
651. ’How much more I, a mortal man (ever-man), deprived of mine, must lose all rest! 
78. ‘How should not the mind of Manu himself be distracted, when parted from his dear virtuous son,--(Manu) the son of Vivasvat, who knew the higher and the lower, the mighty lord of creatures, the institutor of the ten chieftains.

In old time the king Aga, loving his son, wandering thro’ the mountains,
652. ’Lost in thought (or deeply affected), ended life, and forthwith was born in heaven. 
79. ‘I envy the monarch, that friend of Indra, the wise son of king Aja, who, when his son went into the forest, went himself to heaven, and dragged out no miserable life here with vain tears.

And now I cannot die! Thro’ the long night fixed in this sad state,
653. ’With this great palace round me, thinking of my son, solitary and athirst as any hungry spirit (Preta);
as one who, thirsty, holding water in his hand, but when he tries to drink lets all escape,
654. ’And so remains athirst till death ensues, and after death becomes a wandering ghost;
--so I, in the extremity of thirst, through loss, possessed once of a son, but now without a son,
655. ’Still live, and cannot end my days!
But come! tell me at once where is my son! let me not die athirst (for want of knowing this) and fall among the Pretas.
656. ’In former days, at least, my will was strong and firm, difficult to move as the great earth; but now I’ve lost my son, my mind is dazed, as in old time the king "ten chariots."’ 
80. ‘Describe to me, O beloved one, the court of that hermitage, whither thou hast carried him who is as my funeral oblation of water; these my vital airs are all ready to depart, and are eager for it, longing to drink it.’

657. And now the royal teacher (Purohita), an illustrious sage, with the chief minister, famed for wisdom, with earnest and considerate minds, both exhorted with remonstrances, the king. 
81. Thus the king, in his grief for his separation from his son,--losing all his innate firmness which was stedfast like the earth,--loudly lamented as one distraught, like Dasaratha, a prey to his sorrow for Râma.

658. ’Pray you (they said) arouse yourself to thought, and let not grief cramp and hold your mind! in olden days there were mighty kings, who left their country, as flowers are scattered; 
82. Then the wise counsellor, endued with religious learning, courtesy, and virtue, and the old family priest, spoke to him as was befitting in these well-weighed words, neither with their faces overwhelmed by grief nor yet wholly unmoved: 
tyaja naravara śokam ehi dhairyaṃ kudhṛtir ivārhasi dhīra nāśru moktum |

659. ’Your son now practises the way of wisdom; why then nurse (increase) your grief and misery; you should recall the prophecy of Asita, and reasonably count on what was probable! 
83. ‘Cease, O noblest of men, thy grief, regain thy firmness,--surely thou wilt not, O firm hero, shed tears like one of no self-control; many kings on this earth have gone into the forests, throwing away their royal pomp like a crushed wreath.

660. ’(Think of) the heavenly joys which you, a universal king, have inherited! But now, so troubled and constrained in mind, how will it not be said, "The Lord of earth can change his golden-jewel-heart!" 
84. ‘Moreover, this his state of mind was all predetermined; remember those words long ago of the holy sage Asita; "He will never be made to dwell even for a moment contentedly in heaven or in an emperor’s domain."

661. ’Now, therefore, send us forth, arid bid us seek the place he occupies, then by some stratagem and strong remonstrances, and showing him our earnestness of purpose,
662. ’We will break down his resolution, and thus assuage your kingly sorrow.’ 
85. ‘But if, O best of men, the effort must be made, quickly speak the word, we two will at once go together; let the battle be waged in every way with thy son and his fate whatever it be.’

The king, with joy, replied and said: ’Would that you both would go in haste,
663. ’As swiftly as the Saketa bird flies through the void for her young’s sake; thinking of nought but the royal prince, and sad at heart--I shall await your search!’ 
86. Then the king commanded them both, ‘Do you both go quickly hence,--my heart will not return to quiet, any more than a bird’s in the woods longing for its young.’

664. The two men having received their orders, the king retired among his kinsfolk, his heart somewhat more tranquillised, and breathing freely through his throat. 
87. With a prompt acquiescence at the king’s order the counsellor and the family priest went to that forest; and then with his wives and his queen the king also, saying, ‘It is done,’ performed the remainder of the rites.
