उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

38 NOTES ON [ I 34- the grace of which resembled that of a necklace of moonstones that had begun to ooze being touched by the rays of the moon The points of similarity between the arm of सीता and the necklace of moonstones are three, both are fair, both are to be placed round the neck and lastly both had drops upon them, the neck lace melted by the touch of lunar rays, while the arm perspired through fear and fatigue सीता was struck with fear when she saw in the picture such fearful scenes as those of the meeting of परशुराम, शूर्पणखा &c. इन्दव—from इन्दु इन्दोरयमिन्दव It is a convention of Sanskrit poets that the moonstone oozes when touched by the rays of the moon Note below 'द्रवति च हिमरश्मावुद्गते चन्द्रकान्त' Act VI 12 This verse occurs in the मालतीमाधव VIII 3, where we read समूढसान्द्रसस्वेद० तथा कारयन्-making her do so i e placing her arm round his neck किमेतत्—what is this? राम is not able accurately to describe the indescribable sensations he feels on placing Sita s arm round his neck P 23 Verse 35 विनि मिति वा It is not possible to deter- mine whether it is pleasure or pain शक्य qualifies विकार (emotion) राम says that his emotion is something higher, more exquisite than the ordinary sensations of pleasures and pains. It partakes of the character of the state of bliss (मोक्ष) which transcends all ordinary pleasures and pains प्रमोहो- मन् nor is it possible to determine whether it is stupor, sleep, spreading (circulation) of poison or intoxication. तव संमील्यति य at each touch of thine a certain emotion that overpowers all my senses bewilders my consciousness and shuts it up परिमूढ- इन्द्रियगणं यस्मिन् The reading प्रबोध for प्रमोह seems at first sight to be better, as it presents a contrast to निद्रा but if we look at the last two lines, it appears to us that the reading प्रमोह is more in keeping with the words परिमूढेन्द्रियगण and भ्रमयति G seems to have read संमोहयति for संमीलयति It is not bad, though it is not as good as the one in the text The reading समुन्मीलयति of V is bad as it is not in keeping with what precedes On चैतन्यम्, वीर० says 'चैतन्यमन्तःकरणावच्छिन्नचैतन्यम् । जीवचैतन्यमिति यावत् । अद्वैतमतप्रक्रिय येत्युक्तम् । मदान्तरात्मानमिति फलितोऽर्थः' स्थिर परम्—You are constant in your favour, what else than this can it be ? स्थिर प्रमाद नेराग् सीता means—though many years have elapsed since our marriage, your love for me is as ardent as it was during the first years after marriage All the emotions that you feel are due to this your love for me, and not to any special virtues
