The Sorrow  of Sita

 

Translated  By

P.R.Ramachander

( One of my scholarly  friends  send it to me ,I thought it was book  was describing emdless sorrows  of Sita. It  was a two page book. When I read  it, I was mistaken,

   In this book  the  friends  of Sita in Ayodhya  and three  mothers of Rama  request Sita to draw  a picture  of Ravana.She first  refusea and at the  end  draws.

On further  search  I could  find another book by samme  in malayalam  which was 40 pages.It described all sorrows of Sita)

 

Chenchola  Kili Penne, Chenchome  Varika nee

Yenthoru viseshangal  paravanundu  thathe

Yengilo  chollunnundu  irunnor  Anantharam

Anneram kili  thande AAnandam varuthuvan

Anna dhanavum  palum vellavum Panchasaara

Kadali  kanikalum niraye  bhjichine

AArthiye  kalanjudan paraka Vistharichu

 

Oh  bird girl  of red garden , With  pleasure you come

What news have  you to say  , Oh Parrot

If so  , I will  tell you  after  sitting

At that  time  to make  you bird happy

Gave rice , milk , water , sugar

Kadali  Banana fruit and praised you  a lot

Now your desire for lot of food is lost, please tell now

 

AAzhi pennaaya  seetha thanikku  vannor allal

Paaril penkodimaarum  koodi kondu arukathu

Maanichu parayunnu makale  kelkku  iniyum

 

The  troubles which came  for Seetha the  daughter  of ocean

Oh Daughter  hear along  with  all ,’

Ladies  of the world  near me.

Please  hear  with respect

 

AAnanam oru pathum , karangal irupathum

Ravanannu undennu  kettu kelviye  ullu

Avande nirangalum gunavum  Bangikalum

Jnangalkku  palaka mel  varachu kaatta venam

 

WE have  only heard  about that  Ravana ,

He had  ten faces  and  twenty hands

Please  draw on the board and show him to us

Colours, characters and  prettiness

 

Snehichu  parayunnen makale  Madiyaathe

Ammamaarkalum  oththu paranja  nerathingal

Enanga mizhi  seetha  Manassu  vaadi  chonnan

AApathinnathre ithu ningal ennodu  choli

Yen BHarthavariyumbol Raja  dweshamundaam

 

With love  to you  , I am telling  without  laziness

When it was  told ,   along  with the mothers

Seetha  with the pretty eye with faded mind told

“You told  this to me  for  danger

When my  husband knows , it would  be bad feeling of a king”

 

Dweshippan oru moolam illathe irikkunnu

Kala kedathre  yeniku  oronnu  chamanjithe

Ravanan  kattu  kondu poyoru moolathaale

Chaadichaan  aghni  thannil , muzhuki  ponnu jnaanum

Pinneyum  yenikkoru   dhooshanathinnu  ningal

Innivan Roopam  kaanmaan  chollunathu  yennodippol

 

There  was no reason to hate  me,

It was a bad time for me , one thing or other  happened to me

Due  to the reason that  Ravana  kidnapped me

He made  me jump in fire, After drowning  I came out

You are trying to get me another  bad name

You are telling me to see  his form again

 

Yenikkum bharthavinnum  Keerthi  vannathokke

Anartham illatheilla   yennu yellarum   dharichaalum

Palli  vettayum aadeetu   anbodu  varunna  neram

Roopathe  kanum neram  chedikkum  uda  vaallal

Paapathe  cheithidalle amma maarkale  ningal

 

For  me  and my lord  ,  the  fame  that came

Is not without  problems, All of you  please understand

After  playing  the royal hunt, when he willcoming back  with love

He will see  the form and  with his hand sword  he will cut

Oh mothers  please do not do any sins

 

Anneram ammamaarkal  moovarum  orumichu,

Anneram  arul  cheithu Kausalya  devi appol

Yellaam parayaamjnangal  makkale kelkku  iniyum

 

At the  that  time  all the three  mothers joined together

At  that time  lady  Kausalya  told

I will tell you everything , oh daughter , hear  further

EErezhu lokathaalene, Moorthikal moovaraane

Vetta Bharthavinaane, Jangali  moovaraane

Allithaar saranaane, ninnane , makanaane

Bharatha  sathrugnanmaar iruvar  puthraraane

Yennavaraane, nine  chathi cheika illa  oru naalum’

 

When it is lady they join together, Oh daughter  please hear

In the  name  of king Indra, in the  name of feet  of Lord Shiva

In the name of fourteen worlds, In the name of the trinity

In the  name of Brhama  and Vishnu, In the name  of feet of father

In the name  of husband who marries us, In the  name of we three

In the name of one  with thin arrows, In the name of you, In the name of son

In the  name of two sons Bharatha  and Sathrughna

In the  nae of these all , no one  deceived  you at any time

 

Yennanayittu viswasam varumaaru

Thath  kshanam  yeduthu udan  vachithu  mani peedam

Varattu  noorum mashi kuriyum  yeduthudan

Sumithra  devi kondu koduthu  Seethaa  kayyil

 

In my name  to get  belief

Immediately took one gem studded Wooden plank  and kept there

And also  took  lime paste  and  ink mark

Lady  Sumithra took and gave it in hands  of Seetha

 

Anneram muthirnnappol  seethayum  niroopichu

Sathyamai  parayumbol, jnana bahumaaniyaanjaal

Ammamarkku yennodu yere dweshamaayi  varum allo

 

When that time matured, Seetha  decided

When they are  telling on oath,if I do not respect

Mothers  will start  hating me , no

 

AAthmaavil dweshamilla, Janaki  thaanum  appol

Athmavil  Kshama  kondu, mellave  niroopichu

Chanchalam   kondu , manassil  ninachudan

Yengine   avan thande roopathe varaykkunnu

 

There  is no hatred in the soul, At  that time Seethaa

Taking patience in her mind slowly  thought

Due to fickle  mindedness, AS soon I think in the mind

How can draw  a picture of his form

DEivame thuna  yennu  varacha  thala pathum

Mukhthodidakalil  kalarnna  kundaluvum

Velutha  venma yerumm  valiya  mukhangalum

Janicha  kannu  thannil  aghnikal  jwalikkayum

Pathinettilum nalla  deivatham  thonnicheedum

 

Thinking  only  god is her help , she drew the  ten heads

There were  ear  studs  between  each face

The big  faces  with  great  whiteness

The eyes  of the born face  fire was  burning

And the eighteen  eyes showed  godliness
