Lakshmana’s Counsel to the Enraged Rama
खुरनेमिक्षतश्चायं सिक्तो रुधिरबिन्धुभिः।।।।देशो निर्वृत्तसङ्ग्रामस्सुघोरः पार्थिवात्मज।
khuranēmikṣataś cāyaṃ sikto rudhirabindubhiḥ |
deśo nirvṛttasaṅgrāmaḥ sughoraḥ pārthivātmaja ||
اے شہزادے! یہ زمین کھروں اور رتھ کے پہیوں کی دھار سے زخمی ہے اور خون کے قطروں سے تر ہے؛ یہاں نہایت ہولناک جنگ ہو چکی ہے۔
To destroy the world for the mistake of a single person is not proper. Why and by whom is this war-chariot broken with weapons and all its accesories I do not know.
