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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.’

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.’

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 |

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.

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
