Note the words of राम in the रामायण 'अकीर्तिर्यस्य गीयते लोके भूतस्य कस्यचित् ॥ पतत्याधोधोभावात् यावच्छब्दः प्रगीयते । अकीर्तिर्निन्द्यते देवैः की- र्तिर्लोकेषु पूज्यते ॥ कीर्त्यर्थं तु समारम्भः सर्वेषां सुमहात्मनाम् । अप्यहं जीवितं जह्यां यु- ष्मांश्चापि सपुत्रकान्। अपवादभयाद्भीतः किं पुनर्जनकात्मजाम्।' उत्तरकाण्ड 45 12–15 P 27 स्वन्या एव अनुग्रहः तेन पवित्रित्ता वपुः परा यया that rendered the earth holy by (conferring upon it) the favour of being born of her. राम says that the earth was blessed in having such a daughter as सीता. निमिजनकनन्दिनि O daughter of Nimi and Janaka. निमि was son of इक्ष्वाकु and ancestor of जनक. He began a सत्र and chose वसिष्ठ as his होता, who asked him to wait for 500 years, as he had no time then. The king sat silent and after- wards finished the सत्र with the help of गौतम and others. वसिष्ठ cursed him to be विदेह (to be deprived of his body). He cursed वसिष्ठ that he would die. वसिष्ठ was born again as the son of मित्र and वरुण. The gods gave निमि a boon, whereby he was placed in the eye of all beings. See विष्णुपुराण IV. 5, see रामायण उत्तरकाण्ड 57 'नेत्रेषु सर्वभूतानां वायुभूतोश्चरिष्यसि ॥ तत्कृते च निमिष्यन्ति चक्षूंषि पृथिवीपते । वायुभूतेन चरता निश्चयार्थं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥'. पावकवसिष्ठारुन्धतीभिः प्रशस्तं शीलं तेन श्लाघते इति श्लाघिनी तस्याः सम्बुद्धिः—endowed with a charact- er that is praised by fire, वसिष्ठ and अरुन्धती. See notes p. 10, where fire says about सीता 'पापमस्यां न विद्यते'. राममयं जीवितं यस्याः whose life was full of राम (and of nothing else) i. e. to whom राम was all your life. The reading रामैकजीविते is good and means 'whose sole life was राम'. महारम्ये वासः तस्मिन् प्रियसखी तातप्रिये who was liked by my father (दशरथ). स्तोकवादिनि who talked little. ईदृशः परिणामः such an end. Verse 43 जगन्ति the worlds. अशुच्या unholy, foul. नाथवन्त that have a protector. वीर० explains "अहं लोकानामधीशः, मम त्वं नाथा । तथा च 'दरद्वैते तस्य तद्गतम्' इति न्यायेन लोकाना- मपि त्वमेव नाधिकेत्याशयः । यद्वा त्वं मयि आश्वस्ततयास्थिता, अहं च त्वयि तथैवास्थितः ।
