कौन समर्थ है ? ॥२७॥ ऐसा कहती हुई वह रामके पीछे और लक्ष्मणके आगे खड़ी हो चलने लगी ॥२८॥ जिसके चरणकमल खेदखिन्न हो गये थे, ऐसी सीता पहाड़ पर चढ़ती हुई इस प्रकार सुशोभित हो रही थी मानो मेघके शिखर पर चन्द्रमाकी निर्मल रेखा ही है ॥२९॥ राम और लक्ष्मणके बीचमें खड़ी सीता चन्द्रकान्तमणि और नीलमणिके मध्यमें स्थित स्फटिकमणिकी शलाकाके समान पर्वतका आभूषण हो रही थी ॥३०॥ जहाँ कहीं सीताको गोल चट्टानोंसे नीचे गिरनेका भय होता था वहां वे दोनों, उसे ऊपर उठाकर ले जाते थे और जहाँ गिरनेका भय नहीं होता था वहाँ निश्चिन्ततापूर्वक हाथका सहारा देकर ले जाते थे ।।३१।। इस प्रकार ऊंची-नीची चट्टानोंका समूह पारकर भयसे रहित राम-लक्ष्मण सीताके साथ पर्वतके चौड़े शिखर पर जा पहुँचे ॥३२॥
__अथानन्तर उन्होंने ऊपर जाकर ऐसे दो मुनि देखे जो उत्तमध्यानमें आरूढ थे, जिनकी लम्बी भुजाएँ नीचेकी ओर लटक रही थीं, जो अत्यन्त दुःसाध्य चतुर्मुखी प्रतिमाको सिद्ध कर रहे थे, परम तेजसे युक्त थे, समुद्र के समान गम्भीर थे. पर्वतके समान स्थिर थे, शरीर और आत्माकी भिन्नताको जाननेवाले थे, मोहसे रहित थे, दिगम्बर-मुद्राको धारण करनेवाले थे, कान्तिके सागर थे, नूतन तारुण्यसे युक्त थे, उत्तम आकारके धारक थे और आगमोक्त आचरण करनेवाले थे ॥३३-३५|| आश्चर्यको प्राप्त हुए वे तीनों अशुभ कर्मोंके आश्रयका परित्याग कर इस प्रकार विचार करने लगे कि संसारमें प्राणियोंकी समस्त चेष्टाएँ निःसार तथा दुःखके कारण हैं ॥३६|| मित्र, धन, स्त्री, पुत्र, और भाई-बन्धु आदि सभी सुख-दुःख रूप हैं, एक धर्म ही सुखका कारण है ॥३७॥ तदनन्तर जो भक्तिसे युक्त थे, जिन्होंने हाथ जोड़कर मस्तक पर लगा रक्खे थे, जो परम सन्तोषको धारण कर रहे थे, और विनयसे जिनके शरीर नम्रीभूत हो रहे थे, ऐसे वे तीनों उक्त मुनिराजोंके पास गये ॥३८॥ दर्शन करते ही उन्होंने, जो अत्यन्त भयंकर थे, इधर-उधर चल रहे थे, विकट शब्द कर रहे थे, मसले हुए अंजनके समान कान्तिवाले थे, तथा जिनकी जीभें लपलपा रही थीं ऐसे साँपोंसे और जिन्होंने अपनी पूंछ ऊपर उठा रक्खी थी, जो अत्यन्त भयंकर थे, रात-दिन एक-दूसरेसे सटकर चल रहे थे, नाना रंगके थे, एवं बहुत मोटे थे, ऐसे बिच्छुओंसे १, विस्तीर्य म. । २. सर्वेऽपि क. । ३. सर्पः । ४. वेष्टितैर्वृश्चिकैश्च म. ।

The Padma Purana says that Sita, standing behind Rama and in front of Lakshmana, followed them. ||28|| The goddess, whose lotus-like feet were stained with dust, ascended the mountain, shining like the pure line of the moon on the peak of a cloud. ||29|| Sita, standing between Rama and Lakshmana, adorned the mountain like a crystal rod placed between a moonstone and a sapphire. ||30|| Wherever Sita was in danger of falling from the uneven rocks, the two, lifting her up, carried her; and where there was no danger, they carried her with confidence, supporting her hand. ||31|| Thus, crossing the group of uneven rocks, free from fear, Rama and Lakshmana, along with Sita, reached the broad peak of the mountain. ||32||
Then, they saw two sages, seated in deep meditation, with their long arms hanging down, who were perfecting the very difficult four-faced image, who were endowed with supreme brilliance, who were as deep as the ocean, who were as steady as a mountain, who knew the difference between the body and the soul, who were free from delusion, who were adorned with the Digambara-mudra, who were oceans of radiance, who were endowed with youthful vigor, who were of excellent form, and who were following the teachings of the scriptures. ||33-35|| Filled with wonder, the three of them, abandoning the refuge of evil deeds, began to think that all the efforts of beings in the world are futile and the cause of suffering. ||36|| Friends, wealth, women, children, and relatives, all are forms of happiness and sorrow; only Dharma is the cause of happiness. ||37|| Then, those who were filled with devotion, who had joined their hands and placed them on their heads, who were filled with supreme joy, and whose bodies were bowed in humility, went to the said sages. ||38|| As soon as they saw them, they saw snakes, who were very terrifying, who were moving here and there, who were making terrible noises, who were as radiant as ground-up collyrium, and whose tongues were flickering, and scorpions, who had raised their tails, who were very terrifying, who were moving together night and day, who were of various colors, and who were very large. ||39-40||
Who is capable? ||27||
