Now, there on Suvela ›r∂ Råma uttered words befitting a mortal as He looked at
Lakmaƒa, ìAlthough it is now past midnight, Hanumån has not yet turned up!î ›r∂ Råma
raised His younger brother and clasped him to His bosom. ìBrother, you could never
bear to see me in distress, since your disposition has always been so tender. On my
account you left both father and mother and exposed yourself to the cold, the heat and
the winds of the forest. Where is that old love now, brother, that you refuse to get up
even on hearing my lament? Had I known that I would lose my brother in the forest, I
would never have obeyed even my fatherís command. Sons, riches, wives, houses and
kinsfolk in this world repeatedly come and go; but a real brother cannot be had again in
this world. Ponder this in your mind and arise, dear brother. As a bird is utterly miserable
without wings, a serpent without its head-jewel and a noble elephant without its trunk, so
is my life without you, brother, in case stupid fate compels me to survive. With what face
shall I return to Ayodhyå after sacrificing a beloved brother for the sake of my wife. I
would rather have suffered obloquy in the world (for my inability to recover my wife); for
after all the loss of a wife is not a serious loss. Now, however, my unfeeling and stony
heart will endure both that obloquy and the deep anguish of your loss, my son. Your
motherís only son, you are the sole prop of her life. Yet she took you by the hand and
entrusted you to me, knowing that I would make you happy in everyway and that I am
your greatest well-wisher. What answer shall I give her when I go back? Why should you
not get up and advise me, brother?î Thus lamented the Dispeller of sorrow in diverse
ways; and tears flowed from His eyes which resembled the petals of a lotus. Umå,
(continues Lord ›iva,) the Lord of the Raghus is one (without a second) and indivisible;
He exhibited the ways of human being only because He is so compassionate to His
devotees. (1ó9)
