renouncing all his personal comforts and greed. If, my lord, you return to Ayodhyå,
everyone will be a gainer. And if we obey your orders, we shall gain in millions of ways.
Obedience to you constitutes the highest gain both materially and spiritually; nay, it is the
consummation of all meritorious acts and the ornament of all good destinies. My lord,
listen to a request of mine and then do as you deem fit. I have brought with me, duly
arranged, all the requisites for the coronation ceremony. Kindly have it brought into use,
my lord, if it so pleases you.î (1ó4)

secure under your protection. Or else, send back both the younger brothers (Lakmaƒa
and ›atrughna) and let me accompany you, my lord.î (268)

ìOr (as a third alternative) we three brothers may remain in the forest, while S∂tå
and yourself may return to Ayodhyå. Do that, O ocean of mercy, which may please your
heart, my lord. You have thrown the whole burden on me, my master; but I have no
ethical insight nor any idea of religion. I am actuated by self-interest in whatever I say;
a man in distress loses his senses. Shame herself would be ashamed to look at a
servant who evades compliance with an order given by his master. Even though I am
such an unfathomable ocean of faults, my master (yourself) out of affection for me
praises me as a noble soul. Now, O merciful one, I will submit to that proposition which
will spare my lord an awkward situation. Swearing by my lordís feet I tell you in good faith
that this is the only way to ensure the happiness of the world .î (1ó4)
