उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

-V 2] UTTARARĀMACHARITA. 145 [opposed] to him. अविरतं गुणे गुञ्जन्त्यौ कोटी यस्य (with a bow) the ends of which unceasingly twang on the string. G. reads प्रविचलत्- गुणे, which is a good reading. Vide com. चलन्तः पञ्च शिखा यस्य— that has his five locks waving (because of his rapid movements in discharging arrows). तुषार snow, spray. वीरपाने पोतधः 'मानपात्रे शिखी पोतः' इत्यमरः. P. 109. Verse 3. The principal sentence is ०शिशुः एकः मे कौतुकं करोति—this ascetic boy, being single-handed, makes me admire him. मैनाकस्येव is to be connected with ०कुशमण्डस्य नव- प्ररोहः who is as if some unknown and new scion belonging to the race of Raghu. The word वंश means both 'family' and 'bamboo'. From a bamboo also spring up fresh shoots. The reading समत्कोपात् is not good. लव as we are told in verse 9 was only slightly angry, while प्रकोष indicates great wrath. N reads अभिनवोद्भेदः which is not so easily construable as the reading in the text. दलिताः करिकपोलग्रन्थयो यैः, तानि व्योचीनि, टङ्कारैः घोराणि ज्वलि- न्ति च शस्त्राण्यस्त्राणि यस्य (adj. of ०शिशुः)—who has (i. e. discharges) thousands of flaming arrows that shatter the hard (knot-like) temples of elephants and that are terrible in their twanging. Verse 4. The principal sentence is शिशुम् एनम् ऐक्ष्य ०मचरितः प्रमाथे धृष्टधनुषं रघुनन्दनं स्मरामि. अतिलङ्घितः सुरासुरप्रभावः येन (adj. of शिशुम्)— that surpassed the prowess of gods and demons. शिशुम् एनम् दृष्ट्वा रूपं यस्य तथैव रूपम् that has similarly a form resembling (that of Rāma). The reading तदेव, of Gh. and V. is bad. एव must refer to चन्द्रकेतु. It does not sound well that on seeing लव resembling चन्द्रकेतु, सुमन्त्र should remember राम. It is quite proper to say that, on beholding लव resembling राम in features, सुमन्त्र should be put in mind of a particular incident in Rāma's career as a boy. कुशिकसुता विश्वामित्रः तस्य मखं यज्ञं द्विषन्ति इति मखद्विषः राक्षसाः तेषां प्रमाथे प्रमथे destruction. धृष्टं धनुः येन. We expect धृष्टधन्वानम् for ०धनुषम् in accordance with 'धनुषश्च' ५. ४. १३२ (धनुषोऽन्त्यस्य बहुव्रीहेरनङादेशः स्यात्। शार्ङ्गधन्वा । सि. कौ.) धनु as the last member of a बहुव्रीहि becomes धन्वन्. But as the rules about the changes that words undergo at the end of compounds are said to be not obligatory we may justify ०धनुषम्. Compare तत्त्वबोधिनी on विश्रुतधन्वेत्यत्र "तथा चाह 'अनन्तरलक्षणमुत्तरपदवृद्धत्वं युगपद्भवद्' इति पुंवद्भावप्रतिषेध इति चेत्, अत्राहुः। समासविधेरनित्यत्वान्नावङ् ।" In the रामायण (बालकाण्ड chap. 31—34) the genealogy of विश्वामित्र is given as follows:—ब्रह्मा-कुश-कुशनाभ-गाधि-विश्वामित्र while in the विष्णुपुराण, we are told that गाधि कौशिक was the father of विश्वामित्र and son of कुशाश्व, brother of कुशनाभ mentioned above. विश्वामित्र 13
