fortune, they Who in the tranquil time of old A blessed life for me foretold, Predicting I should never know A childless dame’s, a widow’s woe, False are they all, their words are vain, For thou, my lord and life, art slain. 2False was the priest and vain his lore Who blessed me in those days of yore By Ráma’s side in bliss to reign: For thou, my lord and life, art slain. They hailed me happy from my birth, Proud empress of the lord of earth. They blessed me—but the thought is pain— For thou, my lord and life, art slain. 3Ah, fruitless hope! each glorious sign That stamps the future queen is mine, With no ill-omened mark to show A widow’s crushing hour of woe. They say my hair is black and fine, They praise my brows’ continuous line; My even teeth divided well, My bosom for its graceful swell. 4They praise my feet and fingers oft; They say my skin is smooth and soft, And call me happy to possess The twelve fair marks that bring success. But ah, what profit shall I gain? Thou, O my lord and life, art slain. The flattering seer in former days My gentle girlish smile would praise, 5And swear that holy water shed By Bráhman hands upon my head Should make me queen, a monarch’s bride: How is the promise verified? Matchless in might the brothers slew In Janasthán the giant crew. And forced the indomitable sea To let them pass to rescue me. 6Theirs was the fiery weapon hurled By him who rules the watery world; Theirs the dire shaft by Indra sped; Theirs was the mystic Brahmá’s Head. In vain they fought, the bold and brave: A coward’s hand their death-wounds gave. By secret shafts and magic spell The brothers, peers of Indra, fell. 7That foe, if seen by Ráma’s eye One moment, had not lived to fly. Though swift as thought, his utmost speed Had failed him in the hour of need. No might, no tear, no prayer may stay Fate’s dark inevitable day. Nor could their matchless valour shield These heroes on the battle field. 8I sorrow for the noble dead, I mourn my hopes for ever fled; But chief my weeping eyes o’erflow For Queen Kauśalyá’s hopeless woe. The widowed queen is counting now Each hour prescribed by Ráma’s vow, And lives because she longs to see Once more her princely sons and me.” 9Then Trijaṭá, of gentler mould Though Rákshas born, her grief consoled: “Dear Queen, thy causeless woe dispel: Thy husband lives, and all is well. Look round: in every Vánar face The light of joyful hope I trace. Not thus, believe me, shine the eyes Of warriors when their leader dies. 10An Army, when the chief is dead, Flies from the field dispirited. Here, undisturbed in firm array, The Vánars by the brothers stay. Love prompts my speech; no longer grieve; Ponder my counsel, and believe. These lips of mine from earliest youth Have spoken, and shall speak, the truth. 11Deep in my heart thy gentle grace And patient virtues hold their place. Turn, lady, turn once more thine eye: Though pierced with shafts the heroes lie, On brows and cheeks with blood-drops wet The light of beauty lingers yet. Such beauty ne’er is found in death, But vanishes with parting breath. 12O, trust the hope these tokens give: The heroes are not dead, but live.” 13Then Sítá joined her hands, and sighed, “O, may thy words be verified!” The car was turned, which fleet as thought The mourning queen to Lanká brought. They led her to the garden, where Again she yielded to despair, Lamenting for the chiefs who bled On earth’s cold bosom with the dead. ‹Previous chapterRamayana Book 6: Yuddha Kanda 47Next chapterRamayana Book 6: Yuddha Kanda 49›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
