उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

146 NOTES ON [ V. 4- says to राम 'कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य कुशनामस्य धीमतः । जज्ञे परमधर्मिष्ठो गाधिरित्येव नामतः ॥ स पिता मम काकुत्स्थ गाधिः परमधार्मिकः । कुशनप्ताहमेतेाधिया काशिकी रघुनन्दन ॥' बालकाण्ड 34 5--6 but a descendant of कुश ... ; sacrifice of विश्वामित्र by throwing flesh on the altar, the sage came to दशरथ and begged him to send राम with him for destroying the Rakshasas. See रामायण बालकाण्ड chap. 18--21. The अलङ्कार- सर्वस्व (p. 33) cites this verse as an example of the figure of speech called स्मरण, which is defined as 'सदृशानुभवाद्रस्त्वन्तरस्मृति- र्स्मरणम्' एकः लज्जे my heart is ashamed because many direct their effort towards one (single boy). आरम्भ undertaking, effort. लज् lat. conj. A. to feel shame, with अप. Verse 5 The principal sentence is अय शिशु एकैः बलैः आवृतः --this boy being single-handed is surrounded by the armies. एकैः--'एकाकी विर एकैक' इत्यमरः. मदभरेण may be connected with the word भूरिस्फुरत् in the following compound or it may be connected with आवृतः मदभरेण through the advent (lit the weight) of the intoxica- tion (of fighting). वीर० explains 'मदभरेण वीरपानेन समुत्पन्नचित्तमदा- तिशयेन. भूरिस्फुरन्ति कराळानि करकन्दलीषु जटिलानि (निविडानि) शस्त्राण्येषामिति तेषाम् (adj. of बलैः)--(by my soldiers) that hold in their broad hands (palms of hands) multitudes of weapons that are extremely bright and terrible. कलित (past pass. p. of कल्) taken, grasped. कन्दली the plantain tree (that has very broad leaves). जटिल thick. Most editions read समरभारभूरिस्फुरत्० which means 'wea- pons that flash in the van of battle (lit the ground where the weight of the battle falls)'. This is not a very happy reading. There is no propriety in saying that weapons flashed in the van of battle. क्वणन्तीभिः कनककिङ्किणीभिः झणझणायिताः स्यन्दना येषाम् (adj. of बलैः) the chariots of which ring with the tinkling golden bells. किङ्किणी a small bell. अमन्द (अनल्प) मद एव दुर्दिनं येषां ते द्विरदैः गर्वैः डामराणि भयङ्कराणि तैः (बलैः) that are terrific (or tumultuous) on account of the elephants that shower a thick rut. डामर adj. is derived from डमर a riot, tumult. 'डिम्बे डमरविप्लवौ' इत्यमरः. The reading वारिदैः for डामरैः yields a good sense. In that case the dark and big elephants will be appropriately compared to the clouds and the rut flowing from their temples to rain water. P. 110. एभिः--इमैः. एभिः स्यन्दतैः--what are these (soldiers) to this (boy) even collectively, what then if they are taken separately? आभिन्नप्रजानां ममार मारणम्--the destruction of my men. Verse 6 The principal sentence is वीर मुञ्चूर्णनामभिः विशिखैः. व्यान may be taken as an अव्ययीभाव or as an adjective of ०निशितैः
