Book Six:

nirvANa Begun

~jd. The Book of nirvANa is as long as the first five Books put together. It is so long that at some point an editor divided it into two parts, of which the first is called #pUrva, and the last is #uttara. Some call them Books 6a and 6b; others (like me) make them Books Six and Seven (y6 & y7).

~consider the division point.

Canto 6.1: The Daily Proceedings of the Assembly

vAlmIki of the ANTHILL said—

उपशम-प्रकरणाd_अनन्तरम्_इदम् शृणु । त्वम् निर्वाण-प्रकरणम् ज्ञातम् निर्वाण-दायि यत् ॥१॥

upazama-prakaraNAt_anantaram idam zRNu | tvam nirvANa-prakaraNam jJAtam nirvANa-dAyi yat ||6|1|1||

now you have heard the Book of Peace

next hear this Book of _nirvANa,

which leads to nirvANa.

upazama-prakaraNAt After the Peaceable Book

anantaram_idam zRNu tvam next hear this, you!

nirvANa-prakaraNam The Book of nirvANa

jJAtam nirvANa-dAyi yat to have known which, bestows nirvANa.

~vlm.1. Válmíki says:—You have heard the relation of the subject of Stoicism or composure of the soul; attend now to that of Nirvána, which will teach you how to attain the final liberation of yourselves.

~sv.1. VÂLMÎKI said: The sage Vasistha had concluded the teaching contained in the upasama prakaranam and he uttered the words, "O rAma, you have heard the upasama prakaranam; now hear the section dealing with liberation."

so he spoke,

that muni-master, in all his magniloquence,

and the young princes heard,

and thought,

and all their thinking struck them dumb.

~vlm.2. As the chief of Sages was saying his magniloquent speech in this manner, and the princes remained mute with their intense attention to the ravishing oration of the Sage:

~sv.2-14. All the kings and the sages who were seated in the court were deeply absorbed in the great Vasistha's discourse; with their attention totally riveted on his words and gestures, they appeared more like figures in a painting than actual living human beings. ...

मुनि-वाग्-अर्थ-निक्षिप्त-मनस्य् अस्त-तपः-क्रिये । राज-लोके गत-स्पन्दे चित्र-अर्पिते इव स्थिते ॥३॥

all that assembled royalty,

amazed,

bemused by what they had heard,

were mute, still, like the figures in a painting of Philosophers.

~vlm.3. The assembled chiefs remained there as silent and motionless portraits, and forgot their devotions and duties, by being impressed in their minds with the sense and words of the Sage's speech.

~AB. astA tyaktA tapo mAnasam bAhyArtha-locanam kriyA zarIra-ceSTA ca yena | tad evAha--gata-spande iti ||

considering reverently

lasad_anguli-bhangena

muni-sArthe sphurad_bhruvi

the whole Assembly sat, deeply pondering on the meaning of his words,

their fingers curled against their brows in thought.

~vlm.4. The assemblage of Saints, was reverently pondering upon the deep sense of the words of the Sage, with their curled brows and signs of their index fingers, (indicating their wonder).

~sv.2-14. All the kings and the sages who were seated in the court were deeply absorbed in the great Vasistha's discourse...

~VA. it is Vasishtha’s fingers and brows are indicated, right? Or the listeners’?

~AS: I think it is the same kings (rAjaloka verse 3) that is being described here.

विस्मय-आलोकन-उल्लास-प्रोत्फुल्ल-नयनालिनि । पुरन्घ्रि-वर्गे गम्भीर-तरु-मन्जरिताम् गते ॥५॥

vismaya-Alokana-ullAsa-protphulla-nayanAlini | puranghri-varge gambhIra-taru-manjaritAm gate ||5||

and there one stands with folded hands, surrendered to perplexity;

and here one frowns, his head hung down, enrapt in sweet confusion.

~vlm.5. The ladies in the Seraglio were lost in wonder, and turned up ward their wondering eyes, resembling a cluster of black bees, sucking intently the nectarious honey of the new blown flowers (of the Sage's speech).

~m.5 The women of the palace were distraught in their great wonderment,

sucking the sweet from every word, like a vast hovering hive of bees.

~sv.5-14. In fact, it seemed that even the sun, the air, the birds and the beasts — the entire nature was absorbed in intently listening to the sage's discourse with their souls absorbed in the sublime exposition of the nature of the innermost self.

~AB. vismaya: paramAshcarya-rUpa: pratyagAtmA tadAlokanollAsena gambhIrA makarandAsvAdanAsaktabhramarair niS-kampa-shabdA yA taru-manjarI tad bhAvam

~VA. with amazed looks they (attending people of assembly)
resembled bees drawn to open tree flower to suck nectar
(purandhrivarge ??)

~AS: purandhri (also purandhrI) is the word indicating woman, here the royal women are being described.
The royal women with their eyes wide open in amazement appeared like a quiet (gambhIra) bees on a sprout (intensely sucking the nectar).

In the sky

at the fourth hour of evening

the daymaker sun had set

as in the cooling rise of Wisdom

there comes a kind of peace...

khe In the sky

vAsara-catur.bhAga=deze at the fourth hour of evening

dinakare sthite when the daymaker sun had set

kiMcit_jnAna-udayAt_saumye kiMcit_zamam_upeyuSi x -6- ##

#vas 2 to shine —> #vasar —> #vAsara -adj.- relating to or appearing in the morning, matutinal, early; • -m.-n.- day (as opp. to "night"), a day (in general), a week-day; • time, turn, succession (v.l. <vAra>).

~vlm.6. The glorious sun sank down in the sky, at the fourth or last watch of the day; and was shorn of his radiant beams as he was setting in the west; (as a man becomes mild with his knowledge of truth at the end of his journey through life).

~m.6 Far in the west the sun sank down; it was the fourth quarter of day;

and one by one the sunbeams faded, as the sun himself sought rest.

~AB. yatra vAsarasya caturtha-bhAga-fourth quarter mAtra-avazeSa: lakSyate tasmin deze pradeze zravaNAya iva sthite | ata: eva kiMcit jnAna-udayAd iva saumye dRSTi-priye kiMcit tApopazamam upeyuSi iva ity uttarAd anukRSya anvaya: ||

zravaNAya_eva saMzAnte vitAna-spanda-mAlite | maunam maruti mandAra-madhura-Amoda=dAyini ||7||

a calm spreads like the scent of mandAra blossoms in the wind

after hearing his words,

silence.

~vlm.7. The winds blew softly at the eve of the day, as if to listen to the sermon of the Sage, and wafted about the sweets of his moving speech, like the fragrance of the gently shaking mandara flowers.

~m.7 But all were calmed by the address, like a field of mandara blooms that tremble in the breeze; and then the breeze relents, and they grow still.

~AB. zravaNAya iva saMzAnte iti etad dehalI-dIpa-nyAyena maruti iti atra api saMbadhyate | kusuma-vitAna-spandena mAlite sragviNi | ata eva mandAra-madhurAmoda-dAyini ||

~vlm.8. All other sounds were drowned in the deep meditation of the audience, as when the humming of the humble bees, is pushed in their repose, amidst the cell of blooming flowers at night.

~m.8 They thought of all that they had heard, thoughts like a hive of bumble-bees

that browse within a field of flowers, and sleep on petals when night falls.

~vlm.9. The bubbling waters of the pearly lakes, sparkled unmoved amidst their embroidered beds; as if they were intently attentive to listen to the words of the Sage, which dropped as strings of pearls from his flippant lips. (So the verse of Hafiz affixed to the title page of Sir William Jone's Persian grammar: "Thou hast spoken thy verse, and strung a string of pearls)."

~m.9 The rays of the departing day held scattered particles of dust, like a naked ascetic's skin, sheen sprinkled with dust and ashes.

~vlm.10. The pencil of the declining ray penetrating the windows of the palace, bespoke the halting of the departing sun, under the cooling shade of the royal canopy, after his weary journey all along the livelong day.

~m.10 The royal party, crowned with coronets, were wooed into silence by the encanting word of BestofAll, the seer Vasishtha.

मुक्ताजाल-प्रभाजाल-भस्मना_उद्ध्वलित-आत्मनि । शंसति_इव शमम् शाम्यद्_दिन-देहे दिव-आतपे ॥११॥

muktAjAla-prabhA

~vlm.11. The pearly rays (or bright beams) of the parting day, being covered by the dust and mist of the dusk, it seemed to be besmeared as the body of a dervish with dust and ashes; and had gained its coolness after its journey under the burning sun (The cool and dusky eve of the day is compared with the dust-sprinkled body of the ascetic approaching to his cell).

~m.11 With bawling of the babies in the nursery, birds in their cages, hungry, the women all returned to their palace, to nurture them.

~vlm.12. The chiefs of men with their heads and hands decorated with flowers, were so regaled with the sweet speech of the Sage, that they altogether remained enrapt in their senses and minds.

Like bees bumbling back to the hive, the birds flew from the fig-tree grove,

and in the moonlit darkness, eyelashes were fluttering like fans.

Now the light, fearful of the darkening shadows of the forest

flew through the palace windows and took shelter in the lamps within.

~vlm.14. Now the dust flung by the pinions of fluttering bees, covered the petals of the night blooming kumuda flowers; and the flapping chouries were now at rest, with the tremulous eyelids of the princes.

~vlm.15. The rays of the sun, fearing to be waylaid by the dark night shade, which had now got loose from the dark mountain caves, fled through the windows to the inner apartment of the palace; (which was already lighted with lamps).

आसीद् दिन-चतुर्-भाग-सत्ता-वेदन-तत्पर: । भेरीपटह-शङ्खानाम् दिङ्-मुखापुरको ध्वनि: ॥१६॥

~vlm.16. The time watches of the royal palace, knowing it to be passed the fourth watch of the day, sounded aloud their drums and trumpets, mingled with the sound of conch-shells, loudly resounding on all sides.

~m.16. It was now the fourth quarter of day, and the watcmen proclaimed its coming with kettle-drums and conch trumpets.

~vlm.17. The high-sounding speech of the sage, was drowned under the loud peal of the jarring instruments; as the sonorous sound of the peacock is hushed under the uproar of roaring clouds.

~ m.17. The words of the sage were lost in the fanfare of the night, as the cattering of peacocks is silenced by the rumbling storm cloud. The birds in their caged trembled in fear of the din, and the palm-fronds fluttered as if the earth were shaking.

आययु: भय-वित्रस्ता: बाला: धात्री-कुच-अन्तरम् । सारवम् प्रावृषि_इव_अब्.दा: प्रोन्नतम् शृङ्ग-कोटिरम् ॥१९॥

~vlm.18. The birds in the cages, began to quake and shake their wings with fear; and the leaves and branches of the lofty palm trees, shook in the gardens, as by a tremendous earthquake.

The babies suck the mountainous breasts of their nurses,

but,

alarmed by all the noise,

earfillingly fearful of it,

~vlm.19. The babes sleeping on the breasts of their nurses, trembled with fear at the loud uproar; and they cried as the smoking clouds of the rainy season, resounding between the two mountain craigs resembling the breasts. (It is common in Indian poetry to compare the swelling breasts to rising hills, and say Kucha-giri).

~jd. Breast-Mountain. Twin Peaks.

~m.19. And now the babies cried from between their mothers' breasts, sounding like the roar of the rainstorm ecoing between twin peaks.

the babies suck the mountainous breasts of their nurses,

but,

alarmed by all the noise,

earfillingly fearful of it,

make more noise,

cry like clouds bawling-out Mount Hair-horn.

#karAla -adj.- opening wide, cleaving asunder, gaping (as a wound; as a mouth; &c); formidable, dreadful, terrible; • -m.- musk-deer; -n.- a sort of basil.

~vlm.20. This noise made the helmets of the chieftains, shed the dust of their decorating flowers all about the hall; as the moving waves of the lake, sprinkle the drops of water upon the land.

zAnta-zaGkha-svane zanai:

and the sound of conch trumpets grew still...

* dAzaratha – belonging to dazaratha.

~vlm.21. Thus the palace of Dasharatha being full of trepidation at the close of the day, regained its quiet at the gradual fall of the fanfare of sounding conch shells, and the hubbub of drum beatings at the advance of night.

~m.21. And so the court, so muc aroused by the day's address at last approaced the evening worship and rest. And so the sage completed his instruction of the Son of the Swift, there in the presence of the Great Assembly.

संहरन् प्रस्तुतम् वस्तु वचो मधुर-वृत्तिमत् । उवाच मुनि-शार्दूल: सभा-मध्ये रघ्Ûद्वहम् ॥२२॥

saMharan prastutam vastu vaco madhura-vRttimat | uvAca muni-zArdUla: sabhA-madhye raghÛdvaham ||22||

~vlm.22. The Sage put a stop to his present discourse, and addressed Ráma then sitting in the midst of the assembly, in a sweet voice and graceful language. (Mudhura-Vritti is the middle or graceful style between the high and low).

राघवानघ वाग्-जालम् मया_एतत् प्रविसारितम् । तेन चित्त-खगम् बद्ध्वा क्रोडी-कृत्यात्मताम् नय ॥२३॥

this is the path to follow, sAdhu, by Your Grace, right now!

~vlm.25. Ponder upon it repeatedly, and consider it well in thy mind, and go on in this way to conduct yourself in life (viz. by expression of your desires, weakening the mind, restraining the breathing, and acquiring of knowledge).

~sv.25. You should contemplate this truth again and again, from beginning to end, reflect upon it and you should march along this path now, O noble one.

Thus the noise startled the chiefs, which shook their bodies, and these shook their heads, which caused their helmets to shake: these again shook the garlands of flowers upon them, and at last shed their dust on the ground. This kind of figure is called Krama mála corresponding with Metalepsis gradation; as we have in the following instance of Dido's exclamation in Virgil.

Enquiring constantly into what remains, follow this path from this day forth; otherwise you will fall into the pit, like a careless elephant.
