निरन्तर युथ
थके हुए घोड़ोंको विश्राम देनेवाला था और जिसे शीघ्रता करनेवाले राजाओंने सब ओरसे घेर लिया था ऐसा कृतान्तवक्त्र सेनापति, मुखको नीचा किये हुए श्रीरामदेवके समीप गया॥२७-२८।।
और बोला कि हे प्रभो ! हे राजन् ! आपके कहनेसे मैं एक गर्भ ही जिसका सहायक था ऐसी सीताको भयंकर वनमें ठहरा आया हूँ ॥२६॥ हे देव ! आपके कहनेसे मैं सीताको उस वनमें छोड़ आया हूँ जो नाना प्रकारके अत्यन्त भयंकर शब्द करनेवाले वन्य पशुओंके समूहसे सेवित है, वेतालोंका आकार धारण करनेवाले दुर्दश्य वृक्षोंके समूहसे जहाँ घोर अन्धकार व्याप्त है, जहाँ स्वाभाविक द्वेषसे निरन्तर युद्ध करनेवाले व्याघ्र और जंगली भैंसा अधिक हैं, जहाँ कोटरमें टकरानेवाली वायुसे निरन्तर दुन्दुभिका शब्द होता रहता है, जहाँ गुफाओंके भीतर सिंहोंके शब्दको प्रतिध्वनि बढ़ती रहती है, जहाँ सोये हुए अजगरोंका शब्द लकड़ीपर चलनेवाली करोंतसे उत्पन्न शब्दके समान भयंकर है, जहाँ प्यासे भेड़ियोंके द्वारा हरिणों के लटकते हुए पोते नष्ट कर डाले गये हैं । जहाँ रुधिरको आशंका करनेवाले सिंह धातकी वृक्षके गुच्छोंको चाटते रहते हैं और जो यमराजके लिए भी भयका समूह उत्पन्न करने में निपुण है ॥३०-३४॥ हे देव ! जिसका मुख अश्रुओंकी वर्षासे दुर्दिनके समान हो रहा था तथा जो महाशोकसे अत्यन्त प्रज्वलित थी ऐसा सीताका संदेश मैं कहता हूँ सो सुनो ॥३५॥ सीता देवीने आपसे कहा है कि यदि अपना हित चाहते हों तो जिस प्रकार मुझे छोड़ दिया है उस प्रकार जिनेन्द्रदेवमें भक्तिको नहीं छोड़ना ।।३६।। स्नेह तथा अनुरागसे युक्त जो मानी राजा मुझे छोड़ सकता है निश्चय ही वह जिनेन्द्रदेवमें भक्ति भी छोड़ सकता है ॥३७॥ वचन बलको धारण करनेवाला दुष्ट मनुष्य विना विचारे चाहे जिसके विषयमें चाहे जो निन्दाकी बात कह देता है परन्तु बुद्धिमान मनुष्यको उसका विचार करना चाहिए ॥३८॥ साधारण मनुष्य मुझ निर्दोषके दोष उस प्रकार नहीं कहते जिस प्रकार कि सम्यग्ज्ञानसे रहित मनुष्य सद्धर्म रूपी रत्नके दोष कहते फिरते हैं। भावार्थ--दूसरेके कहनेसे जिस प्रकार आपने मुझे छोड़ दिया है उस प्रकार सद्धर्म रूपी रत्नको नहीं छोड़ देना क्योंकि मेरी अपेक्षा सद्धर्म रूपी रत्नकी निन्दा करनेवाले अधिक हैं ॥३॥ हे राम! आपने मुझे भयंकर निर्जन वनमें छोड़ दिया है सो इसमें क्या दोष है ? परन्तु इस तरह

The ninety-ninth chapter
227
The messenger of Yama, whose army was exhausted and who was surrounded by kings eager to hasten, went to Ramadeva with his head bowed. ||27-28||
And said, "O Lord! O King! At your command, I left Sita in the terrible forest, she who was only a companion to me in her pregnancy." ||26||
"O Lord! At your command, I left Sita in that forest which is served by groups of various kinds of extremely terrifying wild animals that make terrible sounds, where there is dense darkness caused by groups of trees that take the form of Vetalas, where there are many tigers and wild buffaloes who are constantly engaged in battle out of natural hatred, where the sound of drums constantly resounds from the wind striking the hollows, where the roar of lions echoes within the caves, where the sound of sleeping pythons is as terrifying as the sound of a crow walking on wood, where thirsty wolves have destroyed the hanging fetuses of deer, where lions who fear blood lick the clusters of the Dhataki tree, and which is skilled in producing a group of fears even for Yama." ||30-34||
"O Lord! I tell you the message of Sita, whose face is raining tears like a day of misfortune and who is burning with great sorrow." ||35||
"Sita Devi has told you that if you want her well-being, then you should not abandon your devotion to the Jina, just as you have abandoned me." ||36||
"A king who is attached to affection and love and who can abandon me, can certainly abandon devotion to the Jina." ||37||
"A wicked man who is strong in words speaks slander without thinking about it, but a wise man should consider it." ||38||
"Ordinary people do not speak of my faults in the same way that people who are devoid of right knowledge speak of the faults of the jewel of true Dharma." ||39||
"What fault is there in my being abandoned in a terrible, desolate forest? O Rama, you should not abandon the purity of right vision." ||40||
