अथानन्तर देवोंके समान शोभाको धारण करनेवाले वे तीनों, नन्दन वनके समान सुन्दर वनमें सुखसे विहार करते हुए एक ऐसे अत्यन्त उज्ज्वल देशमें पहुँचे, जिसके मध्य में प्रसिद्ध जलको बहाने वाली, पक्षी समूहसे शब्दायमान तापी नामकी प्रसिद्ध नदी सुशोभित है ॥ १-२ ॥ वहाँके निर्जल वन में जब सीता अत्यन्त थक गयी तब रामसे बोली कि नाथ ! मेरा कण्ठ बिलकुल सूख गया है ||३|| जिस प्रकार सैकड़ों जन्म धारण करनेसे खेदको प्राप्त हुआ भव्य बरहन्त भगवान् के दर्शन चाहता है उसी प्रकार तीव्र पिपासासे आकुलित हुई मैं जल चाहती हूँ ||४|| इतना कहकर वह रोकनेपर भी एक उत्तम वृक्षके नीचे बैठ गयी। रामने कहा कि हे देवि ! हे शुभे ! विषादको प्राप्त मत होओ ||५|| यह पास ही बड़े-बड़े महलोंसे युक्त बड़ा भारी ग्राम दिखाई दे रहा है, उठो, शीघ्र ही चलें, वहीं शीतल पानी पीना ||६|| इस प्रकार कहनेपर धीरे-धीरे चलती हुई सीताके साथ चलकर वे दोनों, जहां अनेक धनिक कुटुम्ब रहते थे, ऐसे अरुण ग्राम में पहुंचे ||७|| वहाँ प्रतिदिन होम करनेवाला एक कपिल नामका ब्राह्मण रहता था सो वे दोनों यथा क्रमसे प्राप्त हुए, उसीके घर उतरे ||८|| यहाँ यज्ञ शाला में क्षण-भर विश्राम कर सीताने उसकी ब्राह्मणी के द्वारा दिया शीतल जल पिया ||९|| वे सब वहाँ ठहर ही रहे थे कि इतनेमें बेल, पीपल और पलाशकी लकड़ियों का भार लिये ब्राह्मण जंगलसे वापस आ पहुंचा || १०|| निरन्तर क्रोध करनेवाले उस ब्राह्मणका मन दावानलके समान था, वचन कालकूटके समान थे, और मुख उल्लूके सदृश था || ११ | वह हाथमें कमण्डलु लिये था, उसने शिरपर बड़ी चोटी रख छोड़ी थी, मुखपर लम्बी-चौड़ी दाढ़ी बढ़ा ली थी और कन्धेपर यज्ञोपवीतका सूत्र धारण किया था, इन सब चीजोंसे वह अत्यन्त कुटिल वेषको धारण कर रहा था तथा उञ्छ वृत्तिसे अपनी जीविका चलाता था ||१२|| उन्हें देखते ही उसका क्रोध उमड़ पड़ा, उसका मुख भौंहोंसे अत्यन्त कुटिल हो गया और वह ब्राह्मणीसे इस प्रकार बोला, मानो तीक्ष्ण वचनोंसे उसे छील ही रहा हो ॥ १३ ॥ १ इत्युक्ता म । २. पश्यति म. ।

The Thirty-Fifth Chapter

5
Then those three, who were as radiant as the gods, while enjoying themselves in a beautiful forest like the Nandana forest, reached a very bright country. ||1|| In the middle of which a famous river, known as the Tapi, flows, resounding with the sounds of various birds. ||2|| In that forest, devoid of water, Sita, exhausted, said to Rama, "O Lord! My throat is completely dry. ||3|| Just as one who has been afflicted by hundreds of births desires to see the glorious Lord, similarly, I, tormented by intense thirst, desire water." ||4|| Having said this, even though she was being stopped, she sat down under a good tree. Rama said, "O Devi! O auspicious one! Do not be afflicted." ||5|| "This large village, full of magnificent mansions, is visible nearby. Get up, let us go there quickly, we will drink cool water there." ||6|| Having said this, they both, along with Sita, who was walking slowly, reached the Arun village, where many wealthy families lived. ||7|| There lived a Brahmin named Kapila, who performed Agnihotra daily. They both reached his house and entered it in due order. ||8|| There, in the Agnihotra hall, they rested for a moment, and Sita drank the cool water given to her by the Brahmin's wife. ||9|| While they were staying there, a Brahmin came back from the forest, carrying a load of Bilva, Asvattha, and Palasha wood. ||10|| The mind of that Brahmin, who was always angry, was like a blazing fire, his words were like poison, and his face was like an owl's. ||11|| He was carrying a Kamandalu in his hand, he had a large tuft of hair on his head, he had grown a long beard, and he was wearing the Yajnopavita thread on his shoulder. With all these things, he was wearing a very crooked attire and was making a living by means of low practices. ||12|| Seeing them, he became very angry, his face became very crooked with frowns, and he spoke to the Brahmin's wife in such a way as if he were peeling her with sharp words. ||13||
