तदनन्तर लक्ष्मणने मनोहर वचनों द्वारा सान्त्वना देकर कहा कि आप सब पहले की तरह भोगोपभोग करते हुए आनन्दसे रहिये ॥३०।। यह सुन उन्होंने कहा कि विषके समान दारुण, महामोहको उत्पन्न करनेवाले, भयङ्कर तथा महादुःख देनेवाले भोगोंकी हमें आवश्यकता नहीं है ॥३१।। गौतमस्वामी कहते हैं कि हे श्रेणिक ! उस समय वे उपाय शेष नहीं रह गये थे जिनसे उन्हें सान्त्वना न दी गई हो परन्तु फिर भी उन मनस्वी मनुष्योंने भोगोंका सम्बन्ध स्वीकृत नहीं किया ॥३२।। यद्यपि नाराय ग और बलभद्र स्वयं उस तरह उनके पीछे लगे हुए थे अर्थात् उन्हें भोग स्वीकृत करानेके लिए बार-बार समझा रहे थे तथापि उनकी दृष्टि भोगोंसे उस तरह विमुख ही रही जिस तरह कि सूर्यसे लगी दृष्टि अन्धकारसे विमुख रहती है ॥३३।। मसले हुए अञ्जनके कणोंके समान कान्तिवाले उस सरोवरके सुगन्धित जलमें बन्धनमुक्त कुम्भकर्णादिके साथ सबने स्नान किया ॥३४॥ तदनन्तर उस पद्मसरोवरसे निकलकर सब वानर और राक्षस, यथायोग्य अपने अपने स्थान पर चले गये ।।३५।। कितने ही विद्याधर इस सरोवरके मनोहर तटपर मण्डल बाँधकर बैठ गये और आश्चर्यसे चकितचित्त होते हुए शूरवीरोंकी कथा करने लगे ॥३६॥ कितने ही विद्याधर क्रूरकर्मा दैवके लिए उपालम्भ देने लगे और कितने ही शब्दरहित-चुपचाप अत्यधिक अश्रु छोड़ने लगे ॥३७॥ स्मृतिमें आये हुए रावणके गुणोंसे जिनके चित्त भर रहे थे ऐसे कितने ही लोग गला फाड़-फाड़कर रो रहे थे ॥३८।। कितने ही लोग कर्मोंकी अत्यन्त संकटपूर्ण विचित्रताका निरूपण कर रहे थे और कितने ही अत्यन्त दुस्तर संसाररूपी अटवीकी निन्दा कर रहे थे ॥३६॥ कितने ही लोग भोगोंमें परम विद्वेषको प्राप्त होते हुए राज्यलक्ष्मीको चञ्चल एवं निरर्थक मान रहे थे ॥४०॥ कोई यह कह रहे थे कि वीरोंकी ऐसी ही गति होती है और कोई उत्तम बुद्धिके धारक अकार्य-खोटे कार्यकी निन्दा कर रहे थे ।।४।। कोई रावणको गर्वभरी कथा कर रहे थे, कोई रामके गुण गा रहे थे और कोई लक्ष्मणकी शक्तिको चर्चा कर रहे थे।॥४२॥ जिनका मस्तक धीरे-धीरे हिल रहा था तथा जिनका चित्त अत्यन्त वच्छ था ऐसे कितने ही वीर, रामकी प्रशंसा न कर पुण्यके फलकी प्रशंसा कर रहे थे ॥४३॥ उस समय घर-घरमें सब कार्य समाप्त हो गये थे केवल बालकोंमें कथाएँ चल रहीं थीं ॥४४॥ उस १. -दश्रूणि । For Private & Personal Use Only

The Seventy-eighth Chapter
74
Then, consoling them with words that touched their hearts, the wheel-bearing one (Rama) spoke, saying, "You all remain together, enjoying your pleasures as before." ||30||
They replied, "We have no need for pleasures that are like poison, terrible, causing great delusion, and bringing great sorrow." ||31||
Gautama Swami says, "O Shrenika! At that time, there were no means left by which they could not be consoled, yet those noble-minded men did not accept the connection with pleasures." ||32||
Although Narayana and Balabhadra themselves were following them, that is, trying to persuade them to accept pleasures, their vision remained turned away from them, just as the vision that is fixed on the sun is turned away from darkness. ||33||
All of them bathed in the fragrant water of that lake, whose brilliance was like the particles of ground collyrium, along with the unbound Kumbhakarna and others. ||34||
Then, emerging from that lotus lake, all the monkeys and demons went to their respective places, as was appropriate. ||35||
Many celestial beings gathered in a circle on the beautiful bank of this lake, and, with minds filled with wonder, they began to tell the story of the valiant heroes. ||36||
Some celestial beings blamed the cruel-acting fate, while others, speechless, shed copious tears. ||37||
Many people, whose minds were filled with the qualities of Ravana, who had come to their memory, were weeping with their throats torn. ||38||
Some were describing the extremely difficult and strange nature of actions, while others were condemning the extremely difficult forest of the world. ||39||
Some, having attained the utmost aversion to pleasures, considered the fortune of the kingdom to be fickle and worthless. ||40||
Some were saying, "This is the way of heroes," while others, who were holders of excellent intellect, were condemning the useless and wrong actions. ||41||
Some were narrating the story of Ravana with pride, some were singing the praises of Rama, and some were discussing the power of Lakshmana. ||42||
Many heroes, whose heads were shaking slightly and whose minds were very pure, were not praising Rama, but were praising the fruits of good deeds. ||43||
At that time, all activities in every house had come to an end, only the children were engaged in stories. ||44||
Then, 1. - Dashruni.
