उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

—II. 19 ] UTTARARĀMACHARITA. 71 blue hue 'शोभा कान्तिद्युतिश्छवि' इत्यमरः. अविरल...मण्डितानि—अविरलं निविष्टा नीलबहलच्छाया (नीला बहला च छाया येषां ते च्छायाः) च ते तरवस्तरव- षां षण्डं तेन मण्डितानि—adorned with rows of young trees which are situated close together and which have dark and abundant foliage. षण्ड—पञ्—'मृगादिकदम्बे षण्डमभिधाय' इत्यमर प्रस्रब्धानि विविधमृगयूथानि यस्मिन् where the herds of various kinds of beasts are at ease (free from fear). मध्यमारण्यकानि the forests in the middle. This reading is better than महारण्यानि On p 43 of the text शम्बूक drew the attention of राम to big forests that were on the border of जनस्थान Afterwards he casts his eye still forward and calls upon राम also to do the same. Hence the word मध्यमारण्यकानि as contrasted with उपप्रन्तरारण्यानि is prefera- ble. महारण्यानि would not serve to distinguish these forests from those already seen, nor to locate them. For पवने, some read पपन्ते which is not good It would mean '(forests) that are covered with borders that have &c The reading छायातह० is not good. We may explain as 'छायाप्रधाना तरव' Verse 20 The principal sentence is इह निर्झरिण्यः वहन्ति (rivulets flow) समद तोया (adj of निर्झरिण्य )—समदा (मदेन सह वर्तन्तेति) शकुन्ता तै आक्रान्ता (सङ्कुला) वानीरवीरुध तासा प्रसवा (पुष्पाणि) तै सुरभि शीतं स्वच्छं च तोयं यासाम्—the waters of which are clear, cool and fragrant with the flowers of वानीर creepers full of intoxicated birds वानीर—a kind of cane वीरुध् √ (from रुह् with वि) a creeper 'लता प्रतानिनी वीरुद्गुल्मिन्युल्लप इत्यपि इत्यमर फलभरस्य परिपाक (पीडा) तेन श्याम जम्बूतिकुञ्ज तस्मिन् स्खलन तेन मुखराणि भूयांसि स्रोतांसि यासाम्—the many streams of which resound being obstructed (lit. stumbling) in the bowers of जम्बू trees that are dark on account of the ripening of their loads of fruit This verse occurs in महावीर० V 40 Some read वानीरमुक्त० which means '(flowers) that are dropped down by वानीर creepers.' Verse 21. The principal sentence in the first half of the verse is अद्य भल्लुकयूना जम्बूरुतानि स्फातं दधते दधते—third person plural present of धा दधति--कृतानि here the howlings of young bears residing in the caves (of mountains), being heightened by echoes, assume intensity कुहराणि (बिलानि) भवन्ते सेवन्ते इति कुहरभाज तेषाम् मन्दकेषु युवान तैषाम् 'अग्र भल्लुके। ऋक्षाच्छभल्लभालुका' इत्यमर अनुरणित (प्रतिशब्द) तेन गुरुणी स्फीतान् (from the root स्फी I P A -to increase, spread about) increase जम्बूकार—the noise made at the time of spitting The howlings of bears are increased in their intensity manifold by the reverberations made in
