Canto 1.011: ALLFRIEND CONSOLES RAMA
VISHVAMITRA THE ALLFRIEND:
Since things are so, gentlemen of great understanding, send and
bring
the darling of the Raghu clan here at once. Lead him as a doe
would lead the Chief Stag of the herd. 1
This madness of the Raghu prince
is not from bad luck, nor from lust: it is his Waking to the dawn
of Discerning Detachment. 2
Bring Rama here at once,
and we
at once will lead him out of this delusion, as the winds disperse
a cloud upon a mountain-top. 3
The darling of the Raghu
clan
needs sprinkling with holy water, drops of logical thought that will
asperge him of his delusion, and bring him to This Highest State. 4
A sip of the Divine Nectar of Deathlessness will wake him up,
delight him, calm him, and soothe him; and it will fatten him as well.
5
He will again do his daily duties, neglecting none, with a . . .
properly interested mind. 6
He will become the Great Suchness,
knowing this Samsara Universe, with neither happy days nor sad:
pebbles and diamonds the same. 7
ANTHILL
Hearing the words of the Muni,
the King, overcome, sent many messages to summon Rama
from his room. 8
And, at last, Prince Rama rose from his Asana
seat,
and came to his father’s presence: it was sunrise over Sunrise
Mountain. 9
He went there with his companions and brothers, to the Presence
Hall,
where the King sat, surrounded by his ministers, like the Godking
Indra seated in his heaven. 10
Approaching, Rama saw the
King,
Dasharatha Charioteer, sitting (like Indra, Lord of Wealth,
in the assembly of the gods) 11 served by Vasishtha the Supreme,
and Vishvamitra the Allfriend, and the many disciples too
of those two Shastra masters; and a council of wise ministers. 12
Attractive girls surrounded him, fanning him with their yak’s-tail
fans:
and they were all as seductive as goddesses in the temple. 13
Vasishtha and Vishvamitra and Dasharatha all could see
the Prince approaching from afar, looking like Guha, Shiva’s son. 14
He was pervaded with pure virtue, as the Snowy Mountain is
with coolness; and everybody sought out his depth and clarity. 15
He was good-looking, equable. His face was noble, and his mind
was nobler still, and deep. His form was beautiful, peaceful. And he
possessed all of the highest skills. 16 Grown-up but blossoming with
youth,
gentle and beautiful, neither anxious nor giddy, he was at
that mind-delighting stage of life. 17
He was a student of this world-
journey, possessed of purity. His one greed was greed for Perfect
Truth. Virtue took shelter in him. 18
Within the cavern of himself
excellence overflowed. His thoughts were imperturbable. His eyes
sought the sight that can’t be excelled. 19
His crown jewels were his many
virtues, that best of the Swift. Beauty in beauty, he blossomed like
a sun-flower in the springtime sun. 20
21 When he bowed down before the court,
the jewels of his coronet glistened upon his head, and they
tinkled. It was like Mount Meru being shaken by an earthquake!
Then, bowing to the Muni-lord, he touched his father’s feet, to do
him honor. So he came to court, the lotus-eyed young Prince Rama. 21
He paid obeisance, first of all, to his father; next, to the two
Munis (each equally); and then, to the Twiceborn; and then, to all
his clansfolk; then, the disciples; and then, finally, to his friends.
22
The people of the Court peeped out at him, from under bowing
heads,
and spoke his praise in obeisance, falling before him one by one. 23
???
Then the equal-minded Rama (as lovely as Sura the Sun),
and all the munis feasted in the _Presence_ of Rama’s father. 25
* ||The room where the King holds Court is called the “Presence
Chamber”. ||
So Rama touched his father’s feet, and the Earth-Lord embraced his
son,
kissed his forehead and stroked his hair, repeatedly caressing him.
26
Likewise the King embraced the FoeSlayer Shatrughna, and also
Lakshmana Luckyman. He was a swan-king kissing lotuses! 27
“Son, sit on my lap,” the Earth-lord said.
(But Rama chose to sit with
his favorite companions, on a carpet on the palace floor.) 28
“Son, you’re of the age of reason. You have your share of
blessings. Don’t
act like a young fool. Don’t give yourself up to feeling miserable.
Learn from your elders, the Twiceborn, the Gurus. Follow their
teaching.
Be good, my son, and do not chase after unworthy delusion.
“So long as you do not pursue the vapid course of delusion,
just so long shall your misfortunes be trivial and far from you." 31
[Transition?!]
VASISHTHA THE SUPREME:
Prince Rama, Master of the Bow, you are a Hero! You’ve beaten
an enemy that digs in deep and spreads out fast: the Sense-Objects.
Why act like an ignorant fool sunk in the Sea of Delusion,
drowned in the rolling waves of thought, tossing until the mind grows
numb? 33
VISHVAMITRA THE ALLFRIEND:
Tell us what is the cause of those flickering sad blue lotus*
eyes?
Tell us what has been troubling you, what is it that confuses you?
34
What is the source of it, the origin, the cause of these thoughts
that
harass the mind like mice or rats that tunnel and plague an old
house? 35
As I think, your manifold thoughts ought to be high: only such high
thinking, Prince, is suitable for you; or the merest commoner. 36
Whatever your desire, pure soul, just tell us, and you will have
it!
All will again be right with you, disturbing thoughts disturb no more.
37
VALMIKI THE ANTHILL:
So they spoke; and the brightest of the House of the Swift,
hearing the promise of the comfort he was seeking,
gave up his grieving; just as when the storm cloud thunders
the peacock stops his crying for the rain that he longed for. 38

Canto 1.011: ALLFRIEND CONSOLES RAMA
VISHVAMITRA THE ALLFRIEND:
Since things are so, gentlemen of great understanding, send and
bring
the darling of the Raghu clan here at once. Lead him as a doe
would lead the Chief Stag of the herd. 1
This madness of the Raghu prince
is not from bad luck, nor from lust: it is his Waking to the dawn
of Discerning Detachment. 2
Bring Rama here at once,
and we
at once will lead him out of this delusion, as the winds disperse
a cloud upon a mountain-top. 3
The darling of the Raghu
clan
needs sprinkling with holy water, drops of logical thought that will
asperge him of his delusion, and bring him to This Highest State. 4
A sip of the Divine Nectar of Deathlessness will wake him up,
delight him, calm him, and soothe him; and it will fatten him as well.
5
He will again do his daily duties, neglecting none, with a . . .
properly interested mind. 6
He will become the Great Suchness,
knowing this Samsara Universe, with neither happy days nor sad:
pebbles and diamonds the same. 7
ANTHILL
Hearing the words of the Muni,
the King, overcome, sent many messages to summon Rama
from his room. 8
And, at last, Prince Rama rose from his Asana
seat,
and came to his father’s presence: it was sunrise over Sunrise
Mountain. 9
He went there with his companions and brothers, to the Presence
Hall,
where the King sat, surrounded by his ministers, like the Godking
Indra seated in his heaven. 10
Approaching, Rama saw the
King,
Dasharatha Charioteer, sitting (like Indra, Lord of Wealth,
in the assembly of the gods) 11 served by Vasishtha the Supreme,
and Vishvamitra the Allfriend, and the many disciples too
of those two Shastra masters; and a council of wise ministers. 12
Attractive girls surrounded him, fanning him with their yak’s-tail
fans:
and they were all as seductive as goddesses in the temple. 13
Vasishtha and Vishvamitra and Dasharatha all could see
the Prince approaching from afar, looking like Guha, Shiva’s son. 14
He was pervaded with pure virtue, as the Snowy Mountain is
with coolness; and everybody sought out his depth and clarity. 15
He was good-looking, equable. His face was noble, and his mind
was nobler still, and deep. His form was beautiful, peaceful. And he
possessed all of the highest skills. 16 Grown-up but blossoming with
youth,
gentle and beautiful, neither anxious nor giddy, he was at
that mind-delighting stage of life. 17
He was a student of this world-
journey, possessed of purity. His one greed was greed for Perfect
Truth. Virtue took shelter in him. 18
Within the cavern of himself
excellence overflowed. His thoughts were imperturbable. His eyes
sought the sight that can’t be excelled. 19
His crown jewels were his many
virtues, that best of the Swift. Beauty in beauty, he blossomed like
a sun-flower in the springtime sun. 20
21 When he bowed down before the court,
the jewels of his coronet glistened upon his head, and they
tinkled. It was like Mount Meru being shaken by an earthquake!
Then, bowing to the Muni-lord, he touched his father’s feet, to do
him honor. So he came to court, the lotus-eyed young Prince Rama. 21
He paid obeisance, first of all, to his father; next, to the two
Munis (each equally); and then, to the Twiceborn; and then, to all
his clansfolk; then, the disciples; and then, finally, to his friends.
22
The people of the Court peeped out at him, from under bowing
heads,
and spoke his praise in obeisance, falling before him one by one. 23
???
Then the equal-minded Rama (as lovely as Sura the Sun),
and all the munis feasted in the _Presence_ of Rama’s father. 25
* ||The room where the King holds Court is called the “Presence
Chamber”. ||
So Rama touched his father’s feet, and the Earth-Lord embraced his
son,
kissed his forehead and stroked his hair, repeatedly caressing him.
26
Likewise the King embraced the FoeSlayer Shatrughna, and also
Lakshmana Luckyman. He was a swan-king kissing lotuses! 27
“Son, sit on my lap,” the Earth-lord said.
(But Rama chose to sit with
his favorite companions, on a carpet on the palace floor.) 28
“Son, you’re of the age of reason. You have your share of
blessings. Don’t
act like a young fool. Don’t give yourself up to feeling miserable.
Learn from your elders, the Twiceborn, the Gurus. Follow their
teaching.
Be good, my son, and do not chase after unworthy delusion.
“So long as you do not pursue the vapid course of delusion,
just so long shall your misfortunes be trivial and far from you." 31
[Transition?!]
VASISHTHA THE SUPREME:
Prince Rama, Master of the Bow, you are a Hero! You’ve beaten
an enemy that digs in deep and spreads out fast: the Sense-Objects.
Why act like an ignorant fool sunk in the Sea of Delusion,
drowned in the rolling waves of thought, tossing until the mind grows
numb? 33
VISHVAMITRA THE ALLFRIEND:
Tell us what is the cause of those flickering sad blue lotus*
eyes?
Tell us what has been troubling you, what is it that confuses you?
34
What is the source of it, the origin, the cause of these thoughts
that
harass the mind like mice or rats that tunnel and plague an old
house? 35
As I think, your manifold thoughts ought to be high: only such high
thinking, Prince, is suitable for you; or the merest commoner. 36
Whatever your desire, pure soul, just tell us, and you will have
it!
All will again be right with you, disturbing thoughts disturb no more.
37
VALMIKI THE ANTHILL:
So they spoke; and the brightest of the House of the Swift,
hearing the promise of the comfort he was seeking,
gave up his grieving; just as when the storm cloud thunders
the peacock stops his crying for the rain that he longed for. 38
