लक्ष्मणके विषयमें निरर्थकपनेको प्राप्त हो गया ।।२८।। गौतम स्वामी कहते हैं कि उस समय लक्ष्मणकी सत्रह हजार स्त्रियाँ मन्द-मन्द वायुसे कम्पित नाना प्रकारके कमल वनकी शोभा धारण कर रही थीं ॥२॥
तदनन्तर जब लक्ष्मण उसी प्रकार स्थित रहे आये तब बड़ी कठिनाईसे प्राप्त हुए संशयने उन स्त्रियोंके व्यग्र मनमें अपना पैर रक्खा ॥३०॥ मोहमें पड़ी हुई वे भोली-भाली स्त्रियाँ मनमें ऐसा विचार करती हुई उनका स्पर्श कर रही थी कि सम्भव है हमलोगोंने इनके प्रति मनमें कुछ खोटा विचार किया हो, कोई न कहने योग्य शब्द कहा हो, अथवा जिसका सुनना भी दुःखदायी है, ऐसा कोई भाव किया हो ॥३१॥ इन्द्राणियोंके समूहके समान चेष्टा और तेजको धारण करनेवाली वे स्त्रियाँ उस समय शोकसे ऐसी संतप्त हो गई कि उनकी सब सुन्दरता समाप्त हो गई ॥३२॥
अथानन्तर अन्तःपुरचारी प्रतिहारोंके मुखसे यह समाचार सुन मन्त्रियोंसे घिरे राम घबड़ाहटके साथ वहाँ आये ॥३३॥ उस समय घबड़ाये हुए लोगोंने देखा कि परम प्रामाणिक जनोंसे घिरे राम जल्दी-जल्दी कदम बढ़ाते हुए अन्तःपुरमें प्रवेश कर रहे हैं ॥३४॥ तदनन्तर उन्होंने जिसको सुन्दर कान्ति निकल चुकी थी और जो प्रातःकालीन चन्द्रमाके समान पाण्डुर वर्ण था ऐसा लक्ष्मणका मुख देखा ॥३५॥ वह मुख पहलेके समान व्यवस्थित नहीं था, स्वभावसे बिलकुल भ्रष्ट हो चका था, और तत्काल उखाडे हए कमलकी सदृशताको प्राप्त हो रहा वे विचार करने लगे कि ऐसा कौन-सा कारण आ पड़ा कि जिससे आज लक्ष्मण मुझसे रूखा तथा विषादयुक्त हो शिरको कुछ नीचा झुकाकर बैठा है ॥३७॥ रामने पास जाकर बड़े स्नेहसे बार-बार उनके मस्तकपर सूंघा और तुषारसे पीड़ित वृक्षके समान आकारवाले उनका बार-बार आलिङ्गन किया ॥३८॥ यद्यपि राम सब ओरसे मृतकके चिह्न देख रहे थे तथापि स्नेहसे परिपूर्ण होनेके कारण वे उन्हें अमृत अर्थात् जीवित ही समझ रहे थे ॥३६॥ उनकी शरीर-यष्टि मुक गई थी, गरदन टेढ़ी हो गई थी, भुजा रूपी अर्गल ढीले पड़ गये थे और शरीर, साँस लेना, हस्त-पादादिक अवयवोंको सिकोड़ना तथा नेत्रोंका टिमकार पड़ना आदि

Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen

Those seventeen thousand women of Hari were adorned with the beauty of a lotus garden, gently swayed by a soft breeze. ||26||

When the Lord remained in that state, doubt entered the anxious minds of the women, who had come with great difficulty. ||30||

They, the innocent ones, touched him, entangled in delusion, thinking in their hearts, "Perhaps we have harbored some ill-will towards him, spoken some inappropriate words, or entertained some feeling that is painful to hear." ||31||

Those women, who possessed the grace and brilliance of a group of celestial nymphs, were so consumed by grief at that time that their beauty vanished. ||32||

Having heard this news from the palace guards, Rama, surrounded by his ministers, arrived there in a state of panic. ||33||

Then, surrounded by his most trusted advisors, he entered the inner palace, his steps hurried and scattered, as he was overwhelmed with anxiety. ||34||

He then saw Lakshmana's face, which had lost its radiant glow and was now pale like the morning moon. ||35||

It was not as well-composed as before, completely corrupted by nature, and resembling a lotus that had been uprooted at that very moment. ||36||

He pondered, "What could be the reason that Lakshmana is aloof and sorrowful today, with his head bowed slightly?" ||37||

Approaching him with affection, Rama repeatedly sniffed his head and embraced him, who was shaped like a tree afflicted by frost. ||38||

Although Rama saw the signs of a deceased person all around, filled with love, he considered him to be immortal, like nectar. ||39||

His body was bent, his neck was crooked, his arms were loose, and his body, breathing, contraction of limbs, blinking of eyes, etc. were all signs of a dying man. ||40||

Lakshmana had fallen into a state of meaninglessness. ||28||

Gautama Swami says that at that time, Lakshmana's seventeen thousand wives were adorned with the beauty of a lotus garden, gently swayed by a soft breeze. ||29||
