THE CONSTANT LOVERS
jd:
The King
has caught the two lovers in their passion
.
he has put them through tortures worthy of the Christians
(sometimes the tortured, sometimes the torturer)
.
His Royal Beingness
will even get His Holiness the Sage *bharata
to curse
the wicked pair
(after a trial)
.
bhAnu the SUN went on

such were the words of
indra
.
then
the Lotus-King
again addressed a *muni of the *bharata family,
who was sitting nearby
:
*jd.1 - अथ इन्द्रेण एवम् उक्तः असौ – So by this *indra it was spoken. = राजा राजीव-लोचनः – The lotus-eyed King = मुनिं भरत-नामानं – to the Muni among those named "*bharata" = पार्श्व-संस्थम् – sitting in Court = उवाच ह – he said: -1-

~sv.1-3 THE SUN continued: Lord, the king thereupon approached the sage *bharata and pleaded that he should punish the recalcitrant couple by cursing them.
THE KING declared
—

Lord.bhagavan,
you
know right from wrong
.
I
see a very wicked soul before you
—
look at that fierce face,
that shocking arrogance
!
look, Lord,
behold that man who
raped
my wife
!
+
Great.muni,
you must cast a curse on all such sinners
—
or _you_ sin,
you
penalize the innocent if you abandon justice
!
*jd.2 - भगवन् सर्व-धर्म-ज्ञ – O lord, all-dharma-knower = पश्यामि सु-दुर्-आत्मनः – I see a very wicked soul = भृशम् – fiercely = अस्य मुखे – in his face = स्फारं धार्ष्ट्यं – shocking arrogant = मद्-दार-हारिणः – my-wife-raping *jd.3 - पाप-अनुरूपम् अस्य आशु – his sin-according-with at once = देहि शापं महा-मुने – give a curse, o great-Muni = यद् अ.वध्य-वधात् पापं – what is a sin, is un.punishable/innocent-penalty to penalize the innocent, = तद् एव हि वध्य-त्यागात् – that indeed is renouncing punishment.
~vlm.2. The king spoke:--Lord, you are acquainted with all morality, and seest this ravisher of my wife, and hearest the arrogant speech, that he utters before our face.
~AB. asyêndrasya mukhe | sphAram pracuram || vadhyasya vadhÂrhasya tyAgAd a-vadhAd api tad eva pApam bhavatÎti hi dharma-zAstre prasiddham i.a.||
~vlm.3. Deign, O great sage! pronounce thy fulmination upon him without delay; because it is a breach of justice to spare the wicked, as it is to hurt the innocent. ~vlm.4. Being thus besought by the great king, *bharata the best of the wise munis; considered well in his mind, the crime of this wicked soul *indra.
~sv.1-3 THE SUN continued: Lord, the king thereupon approached the sage *bharata and pleaded that he should punish the recalcitrant couple by cursing them.

so
spoke the Lion.King
&
then
the muni *bharata,
best of the wise,
accordingly gave thought to
the sin
of that wicked soul
.
Such was the Muni's curse.
*vlm. "Do you, O reprobate sinner,
soon meet with thy perdition,

*jd.4 - इति उक्तः राज-सिंहेन - So it was said by the lion-king. भरतः मुनि-सत्तमः - *bharata the Muni,--best of the wise, यथावत् प्रविचार्य_आशु - accordingly considered carefully पापम् तस्य दुर्.आत्मनः - the sin of that bad-soul.

~vlm.5. And then pronounced his imprecation by saying;---" Do you, O reprobate sinner, soon meet with thy perdition, together with this sinful woman, that is so faithless to her husband."
~sv.3-4-5-6 And, the sage pronounced a curse upon the couple. However, they said to the sage and to the king: "Alas, you are both of little understanding. By thus cursing us you have squandered the merit acquired by penance.
*jd.5 - सह अनया दुष्.कृतिन्या - "Because-of this evil-doing भर्तृ=द्रोह-अभिभूतया - husband=wrong-overcoming विनाशम् व्रज दुर्.बुद्धे - go to destruction, wicked-thinker" इति शापम् विसृष्टवान् - such was the curse he cast. -5-

then those two answered
the *rAjA and the muni bharata,
in these words:

.
it is
a bad bargain
that you make,
trading.away all the merit you have won thru your fierce *tapas
*tapas – ascetic work; or Radiant Fire.
all for the sake of a curse
!
this
curse
of yours
is nothing to us
.
let
the body be destroyed,
we
are not to be destroyed
.
you can't destroy what is within,
for it is subtle,
and consists of chit.Consciousness,
and can't be grasped
:
and so
know us as that
.
~vlm.6. Then they both replied to the king and his venerable sage, saying,--" what fools must ye be, to have thus wasted your imprecation, the great gain of your devotion, on our devoted heads, (knowing that our souls are invincible).
~sv.3-4-5-6 And, the sage pronounced a curse upon the couple. However, they said to the sage and to the king: "Alas, you are both of little understanding. By thus cursing us you have squandered the merit acquired by penance.
*jd.6 - ततस् तौ - Then those two प्रत्य्-ऊचनुः राज-भरतौ - replied to the RAjA and *bharata = इदं वचः - with these words. सु-दुर्-मती युवाम् - Ill-valued by you याभ्यां क्षपितम् - what you have used up दुश्-चरं तपः - hard-won Tapas merit. *jd.7 - अनेन शाप-दानेन - By this curse-giving भवति न किंचित् अवयोः - is nothing at all to us two देहे नष्टे - though the body be destroyed न नौ किंचित् - not for us at all
नश्यति - it destroys स्व-अन्त-रूपयोः - that which is within. *jd.8 - स्व-अन्तम् हि न.हि केन_अपि - What is within, that not at all by whatever means शक्यते नाशितुं क्वचित् - is it possible to destroy however सूक्ष्म-त्वात् - for it is subtle, चिन्.मय-त्वात् च - and consists of Chit Consciousness, दुर्-लक्ष्य-त्वात् च - and not to be grasped: विद्धि नौ - so know us.
#ant —>#svAnta – sva.anta -m.- own end; own death; own territory or domain or province; •• -n.- "seat of the Ego", the heart (as self of the emotions; end-comp. -A) *KSS; a cavern; - #svAntaja -m.- "heart-born", love; - s.vat ~ having a heart *KSS.
~vlm.7. The curse you have pronounced, can do us very little harm; for though our bodies should fall, yet it cannot affect our inward minds and spirits (which are unchangeable). ~vlm.8. The inner principle of the soul, can never be destroyed by any body and anywhere; owing to its inscrutable, subtile and intellectual nature.
~sv.7-8 Your curse will surely destroy our bodies, but we shall lose nothing by that. No one can destroy the mind of others."

~vlm.9. The Sol added:--This fascinated pair, that were over head and ears in love, then fell down by effect of the denunciation, as when the lopped branches fall upon the ground from the parent tree.

so they today,

~sv.13-14 Till now, on account of the total love for each other, they are born together as husband and wife. Even the trees of the forest were inspired and infected by the supreme love and devotion of this couple.
~vlm.13. Therefore wherever they come to be reborn in any shape they always assume by virtue of their delusion and reminiscence, the form of a male and female pair.
~vlm.14. Seeing the true love which subsisted between this loving-pair in the forest, the trees also become enamoured of the other sex of their own kinds (This refers to the attachment of the male and female flowers, long before its discovery by Linneas).
*jd.14 - akRtrima-prema-rasa-anuviddham – sincere-love-emotion-involved = prativIkSya tam kAntam – seeing this beautiful = sneham tayo: – affection of the two –
