उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

-III. 12 ] UTTARARĀMACHARITA 87 that was formerly familiar to me सञ्जीव...तोषाय that restores to life and gladdens the mind If we read परिमोहनश्च (that brings on a stupor), there is an apparent विरोध This is however not a good reading as the same idea is elaborated in the following half of the verse In सञ्जीवन and परितोषण the affix अन् is कर्तृवाचक while in आनन्दन below it is भाववाचक च तनोति which, having at once removed (my) unconsciousness that was due to excessive grief, brings on dulness (stupor) again by its gladdening effect राम had at first fainted through excessive sorrow When सीता touched him he was restored to consciousness, but her agree- able touch after so many years so transported him that he was on the verge of experiencing (another kind of) stupor (due to extreme joy) आनन्दन = आनन्द एताव तरम् at this time, even this is a great deal to me.

Some read दर्शनाम्, which goes with माम् This is bad सीता was not then in a mood to think too highly of herself The reading जन्मान्तरे संभावित० yields no sense G seems to have read पुन संभावितसुलभलब्धदर्शनस्य which means 'whose sight is as much easily possible in other lives as
