ज्वालाओंसे झुलसा पक्षी किसी बड़े दावानलसे बाहर निकलता है उसी प्रकार मैं भी उस कष्टसे बाहर निकला हूँ ॥१२॥ उस समय भी उसके नेत्र उसी दिशामें लग रहे थे। तदनन्तर धीरे-धीरे उसने शरीरकी कंपकंपी छोड़ी और ललाटपर स्थित पसीनेकी बड़ी-बड़ी बूंदें पोंछीं ॥१३॥ उसने कांपते हुए हाथसे अपनी बिखरी हुई जटाएं ठोक की। यह करते हुए जब उसे बार-बार पिछली घटनाका स्मरण हो आता था तब वह लम्बी-लम्बी साँसें छोड़ने लगता था ॥१४।। तत्पश्चात् जब भय दूर हुआ तो क्रोधमें आकर वह इस प्रकार विचार करने लगा। विचार करते समय उसके समस्त अंग निश्चित रूपसे स्थिर थे केवल वह मस्तकको कुछ-कुछ हिला रहा था ।१५।। वह विचारने लगा कि देखो मेरे मनमें कोई दोष नहीं था मैं केवल रामचन्द्रके अनुरागसे सीताका रूप देखनेकी इच्छासे ही वहाँ गया था परन्तु ऐसी दशाको प्राप्त हो गया जिसमें मृत्यु तककी आशंका हो गयी ॥१६।। आश्चर्य है कि उस प्रौढ़ कुमारीकी वह चेष्टा कितनी दुष्टतासे भरी थी कि जिसके कारण मैं यमराजकी समानता करनेवाले मनुष्योंके द्वारा पकड़ लिया गया ॥१७|| वह पापिनी अब जायेगी कहाँ ? मैं उसे अवश्य ही संकट में डालँगा। मैं तो बाजेके बिना ही नाचता हूँ फिर यदि बाजे मिल जायें तो कहना ही क्या है ? ॥१८॥ ऐसा विचारकर उसने एक पटपर प्रत्यक्षके समान सीताका सुन्दर चित्र बनाया और उसे लेकर वह शीघ्र ही रथनूपुर नगर गया ||१९|| वहाँ जाकर उसने उपवन में जो अत्यन्त उत्तुंग क्रीड़ाभवन था उसमें वह चित्रपट रख दिया और स्वयं अप्रकट रहकर नगरके बाहर रहने लगा ॥२०॥
__ अथानन्तर किसी दिन अनेक कुमारोंके साथ क्रीड़ा करता हुआ भामण्डल कुमार वहाँ आया ।।२१।। सो चित्रमें अंकित बहन सीताको देखकर वह अज्ञानवश शीघ्र ही लज्जा, शास्त्र, ज्ञान तथा स्मृतिसे रहित हो गया अर्थात् सीताके चित्रको देखकर इतना कामाकुलित हुआ कि लज्जा, शास्त्र तथा स्मृति आदि सबको भूल गया ।।२२।। वह निरन्तर शोक करने लगा, अत्यन्त लम्बे श्वासोच्छ्वास छोड़ने लगा, उसका शरीर सूख गया तथा शिथिल शरीरको वह चाहे जहां उपेक्षासे डालने लगा अर्थात् चाहे जहाँ उठने-बैठने लगा ।।२३।। उसे न रात्रिमें नींद आती थी न दिनमें चैन पड़ता था। वह रात-दिन उसीके ध्यानमें निमग्न रहता था। सुन्दर उपचारोंसे उसे कभी भी सुख नहीं मिलता था ॥२४॥ वह पुष्प, सुगन्धित पदार्थ तथा आहारसे ऐसा द्वेष करता था १. निश्चितस्थित म.। २. चन्द्रगतः ज.। ३. रम्येण । ४. विषनिमितम् ।

In the Padma Purana, slowly and gradually, the great agitation that was in the direction of the fire of his eyes was released. He wiped away the large drops of sweat from his forehead. (13) With his trembling hands, he arranged his disheveled hair. While doing this, he repeatedly remembered the previous events and began to let out long breaths. (14) After that, when fear departed, in his anger, he started reflecting in this manner. During his contemplation, all his limbs were firmly still, but he was slightly shaking his head. (15) He began to think that see, there was no fault in my mind; I had only gone there with the desire to see the beauty of Sita, attracted by Ramachandra, but I ended up in a situation where there was fear of death. (16) How shocking is it that the behavior of that matured maiden was filled with such wickedness that I was caught by humans who were comparable to Yama Raja! (17) Where will that sinful one go now? I will certainly put her in difficulty. I dance even without music; then what to say if the music plays? (18) Contemplating this, he made a beautiful painting of Sita, as if she were present, and taking it with him, he quickly went to the city of Rathanupar. (19) Upon arriving there, he placed the painted image in a very tall pleasure house in the garden and remained hidden, staying outside the city. (20)

Then, one day, while playing with many princes, Bhamaṇḍala Kumara came there. (21) Upon seeing the painted sister Sita, he, out of ignorance, quickly lost his sense of shame, scripture, knowledge, and memory; that is, upon seeing Sita's painting, he became so overwhelmed with desire that he forgot all shame, scriptures, and memory. (22) He began to grieve incessantly and started to let out extremely long sighs; his body shriveled, and he carelessly cast aside his limp body wherever he could – that is, he would get up and sit down wherever he wished. (23) He found no sleep at night nor any peace during the day. Day and night, he was immersed in thoughts of her. With beautiful treatments, he never experienced any happiness. (24) He held such a grudge against flowers, fragrant substances, and food.
