vrm.2.1	The hurried Dasaratha did not call for the king Kekaya, the maternal uncle of Bharata or the King Janaka as he thought they both could hear the good news even afterwards.
vrm.2.2	In a loud voice resembling that of a kettle drum, resounding the air like a thundering cloud and in a sweet splendid and incomparable voice endowed with the characteristics of a king s voice, King Dasaratha the lord of men spoke to the kings as follows:
vrm.2.2	After understanding the opinion of King Dasaratha, who knew the holy and worldly matters, the Brahmans, important people, urban and rural citizens came to a consensus after discussing together and told the aged king as follows.
vrm.2.2	King Dasaratha, after hearing their words, spoke as follows as though he did not know their mind earlier and sought to know their true intention.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha, accepted their salutations with folded hands resembling lotus buds and spoke good and agreeable words to them as follows: "Oh! I am very much pleased and incomparable is my fortune in that you desire my beloved elder son to be anointed as prince.

vrm.2.3	Afterwards the kings belonging to east, west, north, south as well as those belonging to Mleccha kingdom, Aryaa Vartha kingdom and those ruling in hill and forest areas sat there and attended on King Dasaratha as Devas attended on Devendra.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha was thus not satiated enough in seeing Rama, coming like a cloud that gladdens people by relieving them from the scorching summer heat.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha took into his embrace that beloved son who was standing humbly beside him with folded hands.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha gave Rama a great throne, which was high, excellent and beautiful, decorated with gold and diamonds.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha was as delighted in seeing his beloved son, as one delights in seeing oneself adorned, in a mirror.
vrm.2.3	King Dasaratha, the best among those who have sons, smilingly conversed with his son, and addressed Rama as follows, as Kasyapa does to his eldest son Devendra the ruler of Devas.
vrm.2.3	Having heard those words of the king, seeing their dearest wish gratified, the citizens took leave of the King Dasaratha and returned to their homes full of joy, in order to give thanks and render homage to the Gods.
vrm.2.4	Hearing those words, Sumantra said: King" Dasaratha wants to see you.
vrm.2.5	"Your father King Dasaratha is anointing you affectionately for the princely kingdom tomorrow at dawn even as king Nahusha has done to Yayati".
vrm.2.5	Seeing Vasistha had returned, King Dasaratha alighted from his throne and asked him with regard to his mission.
vrm.2.5	King Dasaratha, after obtaining permission from Vasishta, left that assembly of men and entered his palace as a lion enters a mountain cave.
vrm.2.5	By the entering of King Dasaratha, the palace became more radiant, just as the moon radiates a beautiful sky with its stars.
vrm.2.7	King Dasaratha is going to anoint Rama for the princely kingdom".
vrm.2.7	King" Dasaratha has acted towards you and your son today in the same way as an enemy or a serpent would behave if ignored.
vrm.2.9	King Dasaratha will even jump into a fire for your sake.
vrm.2.9	King Dasaratha may offer you diamonds, pearls, gold and various other precious stones.
vrm.2.10	King Dasaratha ordered for various arrangements to be made for Rama s coronation, took permission to leave from the elders who were present there and entered his palace.
vrm.2.10	King Dasaratha entered his magnificent palace but could not find his beloved kaikeyi on her best couch there.
vrm.2.10	King Dasaratha, after seeing Kaikeyi lying down on floor in the chamber of wrath, became tormented with grief.
vrm.2.11	"Oh, King! no body has insulted me, nor despised me.
vrm.2.11	King" Dasaratha, who has true promise, who has great valour, who knows righteousness and who has good equanimity of mind, is giving boon to me.
vrm.2.11	"Oh, King! Remember what happened in the battle between Devas and Asuras in the olden times.
vrm.2.11	"Oh, King! There, I saved you.
vrm.2.11	"Oh, King! The protection of the Earth, the one who has true promise! I am hunting for those boons, which were given by you and kept with you for safe custody.
vrm.2.11	There afterwards, Kaikeyi spoke these words to Dasaratha who was ready to give boons and who was infatuated by lust: "Oh, King! the lord of Earth, now only I am asking for those boons which were given by you then.
vrm.2.11	"Oh King of the Kings, Dasaratha Be true to your promise and protect your caste, character and birth.
vrm.2.12	After hearing the cruel words of Kaikeyi King Dasaratha got disturbed and suffered great agony for a while.
vrm.2.12	Regaining consciousness after a long time and feeling much distressed and angry the King spoke thus to Kaikeyi, as though consuming her with fire in his eyes
vrm.2.14	King Dasaratha, with bedimmed eyes, was unable, as it were, to see.
vrm.2.14	King Dasaratha hearing his words which were soothing and meaningful, was surrounded with grief once more.
vrm.2.15	King Dasaratha ordered that charioteer there again thus I am not sleeping.
vrm.2.16	King" Dasaratha will give you kingdom, being served by brahmanas, which will invest you with eligibility to perform the great sacrifice at the coronation ceremony like Brahma to Devendra.
vrm.2.20	Protect the righteousness engrained in your race Oh,Rama King Dasaratha ,your father is a man of true promise.
vrm.2.23	"Oh, King! Those who are secritlyadvocating you to live in a forest for fourteen years, will have to reside in forest for fourteen years in that manner.
vrm.2.24	King Dasaratha, supreme commander has authority over you and me also now.
vrm.2.34	King Dasaratha surrounded by women, seeing from a distance his son coming with folded hands, distressed as he was, rose swiftly from his seat.
vrm.2.34	Seeing Rama, King Dasaratha ran speedily towards him.
vrm.2.35	King" Dasaratha is unconquerable as great Indra, unshakable as mountain and imperturbable as a great ocean.
vrm.2.35	There is none other than Rama living in your excellent city who is competent to rule this Ayodhya" "In the event of Rama being installe din the office of the prince Regent, King Dasaratha wielder of the great bow will surely have recourse to the forest, cherishly recollecting the conduct of his forebears"
vrm.2.36	Bharata" will not accept the kingdom, which will become uninhabited, hollow and which will be absolutely unenjoyable like wine, quaffed of its spiriteous part, Oh noble soul!" While Kaikeyi who has cast off her shame was thus uttering th emost cruel words, King Dasaratha spoke these words to that lady with large eyes: Having charged me with a burden, Oh hostile woman, why do you prick me while I am carrying it? Why did you not check beforewhile asking the boons by putting a condition that Rama should not be allowed to take anything with him the deedof sending troups etc with Rama in the begining itself, Oh the vulgar woman!"
vrm.2.36	"The highly righteous King Sagara abandoned Asamanja for perpetration sinful deeds as above.
vrm.2.36	You enjoy the kingdom for a long time, happily together with Bharata the King.
vrm.2.37	Hearing the words of the chief minister, Rama who was well versed in courtesy, spoke then to Dasaratha as follows: "Of what use for me, who have forsaken enjoyments, cast away attachment for everything and am going to live in the forest on nomadic food, Oh king, with an army accompanying me?" "Who, after giving away a first class Elephant, will work out his mind on a rope with which it is tied? What use is there for him through attachment to the rope after abandaning the excellent Elephant?" "Oh, the best among good men! So also, what use is there for me by the army Oh, King, when I am giving away absolutely all.
vrm.2.38	On seeing Seetha wearing bark of trees like a helpless woman, eventhough protected by her husband all the people there loudly cried out: Fie" upon you, Dasaratha!" Pained by that loud cry there, King Dasaratha lost interest in his life, religious merit and esteem.
vrm.2.52	Hearing that command, the chief minister of King Guha brought a charming boat to the bank and reported the matter to Guha.
vrm.2.55	Then Seetha the daughter of King Janaka was please to see the River Yamuna with wonderful sands and waters re echoing to the cry of swans and cranes.
vrm.2.57	Sumantra entered the eighth inner apartment and saw in that white house, King Dasaratha the miserable the sick and the exhausted man on account of the exhausted man on account of the grief for his son.
vrm.2.58	Leaving Rama the beloved of all people and who is interested in the welfare of all human beings, how would all these people would be interested in you by this act of yours? By banishing Rama who is delightful to entire people and who is a virtuous man and by opposing all this entire world, how will you stay as a king? Oh, King! The wise Seetha for her part with her mind like one possessed and forgetting her own existence, stood sighing and static.
vrm.2.59	King Dasaratha, his mind very much despaired with grief and plunged in an ocean of sorrow, very difficult to be crossed, spoke as follows
vrm.2.63	After Rama was sent into exile to the forest, King Dasaratha, on the sixth night at mid night, was recalling his sin done long ago.
vrm.2.63	King Dasaratha, afflicted by grief for his son, recalling his sin, spoke the following words to Kausalya who was suffering from sorrow for her son.
vrm.2.64	Touch me well Thus speaking, King Dasaratha, terribly weeping said to his wife as follows: O, queen! The wrong that was done by me in respect of Rama was not befitting of me.
vrm.2.64	In this manner, King Dasaratha weeping as aforesaid, reached the end of his life in the presence of Kausalya and Sumitra.
vrm.2.64	King Dasaratha of noble appearance, thus speaking, who was already miserable and distressed for sending his son to exile, felt afflicted with extreme grief by the time the mid night passed and forthwith abandoned his life.
vrm.2.67	Markandeya, Moudgalya, Vamadeva, Kasyapa,Katyayana, Goutama and the greatly famous Jabali all these Brahmans together with the ministers turned towards the excellent royal priest Vasishta and one by one spoke as follows: King Dasaratha having obtained death due to grief born of separation from his sons Rama and Lakshmana, the night which burdened like a hundred years, has passed over with great difficulty.
vrm.2.67	King Dasaratha, like a flag, was an identity for us and he has left the world for a heavenly abode.

vrm.2.92	"She, through whose fault, those two Tigers among men have to obtain a miserable existence and King Dasaratha deprived of his son, has gone to heaven this woman, who is irate, imprudent, arrogant, who esteems herself to be good looking, who is covetous of power, unworthy though noble to all appearance, know her to be Kaikeyi, my mother of wicked and sinful resolve, in whom I see the root cause of my great misfortune.
vrm.2.95	Then, turning away from the mountain, Rama The prospective ruler of Kosala showed Seetha the daughter of the King of Mithila the beautiful river of Mandakini carrying splendid waters.
vrm.2.98	"That enchanting mountain of Chitrakuta resembles the King of Mountains on which Rama is residing, as Kubera is living in the garden of Nandana.
vrm.2.100	"I hope that the King Dasaratha is well, he who is true to his promise, he who performs Rajasuya and Ashvamedha Sacrifices and he who has a righteous resolve.

vrm.2.104	Kausalya embraced the miserable Seetha as a mother her daughter, she who was emaciated because of her stay in the forest and afflicted with grief, and spoke the following words: "How has the daughter of King Janaka, the daughter in law of King Dasaratha and Rama s wife, fallen into such a wretched plight that she is living in a desolate forest?"
vrm.2.105	"O, dear brother! King Dasaratha, our father who was treated with respect by all virtuous men and who secured excellent life span and enjoyments, is not to be pitied.
vrm.2.105	King" Dasaratha, our father, having abandoned his worn out human body, indeed has attained the celstial state, by which he can stroll in the realm of Brahma the highest heaven.
