Chapter 119: Rāma Departs to Daṇḍakāraṇya
Text 2.119.1
अनसूया तु धर्मज्ञा श्रुत्वा तां महतीं कथाम्॥
पर्यष्वजत बाहुभ्यां शिरस्याघ्राय मैथिलीम्॥१॥
anasūyā tu dharmajñā śrutvā tāṁ mahatīṁ kathām
paryaṣvajata bāhubhyāṁ śirasy āghrāya maithilīm
anasūyā tu = Anasūyā; dharmajñā = who knew dharma; śrutvā = after heard; tām = this; mahatīm = great; kathām = description; paryaṣvajata = embraced; bāhubhyām = with her arms; śirasi = on her head; āghrāya = she smelt and; maithilīm = Maithilī.
After Anasūyā who knew dharma heard this great description, she smelt Maithilī on her head and embraced her with her arms.
Rāma stayed overnight at Atri’s āśrama and departed early in the morning. This is described in this chapter.
