इत्येवमुक्त्वा मदनाभिपीडितः स लक्ष्मणं वाक्यमनन्यचेतसम्।
विवेश पम्पां नलिनीं मनोहरां रघूत्तमः शोकविषादयन्त्रितः॥
ity evam uktvā madanābhipīḍitaḥ
sa lakṣmaṇaṁ vākyam ananya-cetasam
viveśa pampāṁ nalinīṁ manoharāṁ
raghūttamaḥ śoka-viṣāda-yantritaḥ
iti evam = these; uktvā = after speaking; madana-abhipīḍitaḥ = became tormented by desire [for His wife]; saḥ = He; lakṣmaṇam = to Lakṣmaṇa; vākyam = words; ananya-cetasam = whose attention was unwavering; viveśa = entered to bathe in it; pampām = Pampā; nalinīm = lake; manoharām = the charming; raghu-uttamaḥ = the best of the Raghus; śoka-viṣāda-yantritaḥ = and under the sway of distress and dejection.
After speaking these words to Lakṣmaṇa whose attention was unwavering, the best of the Raghus became tormented by desire [for His wife] and under the sway of distress and dejection, He entered the charming lake Pampā to bathe in it.
1 Rāmāyaṇa-bhūṣaṇa: śokaḥ duḥkhaṁ viṣādaḥ tat-kṛtaḥ kārya-karaṇāpāṭava-rūpa-śarīrāvasādaḥ tābhyāṁ yantritaḥ niyamitaḥ. tat-para-vaśa ity arthaḥ.
Lakṣmaṇa’s attention was unwavering—He was attentively listening to Rāmacandra’s words.
Śoka-viṣāda-yantritaḥ (“under the sway of distress and dejection”) indicates that Lord Rāma’s body was fatigued due to distress and dejection.1
NOTE. We should always remember that Śrī Rāma is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa whom Prabhupāda describes in his purport to Bhagavad-gītā 9.11 in the following words:
The foolish consider Kṛṣṇa an ordinary human being because they do not know the confidential activities of the Supreme Lord and His different energies. […] Because they do not know that Kṛṣṇa has so many transcendental qualifications, they deride Him.
Nor do they know that the appearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in this material world is a manifestation of His internal energy. He is the master of the material energy. As has been explained in several places (mama māyā duratyayā), He claims that the material energy, although very powerful, is under His control, and whoever surrenders unto Him can get out of the control of this material energy. If a soul surrendered to Kṛṣṇa can get out of the influence of material energy, then how can the Supreme Lord, who conducts the creation, maintenance and annihilation of the whole cosmic nature, have a material body like us? So this conception of Kṛṣṇa is complete foolishness. Foolish persons, however, cannot conceive that the Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, appearing just like an ordinary man, can be the controller of all the atoms and of the gigantic manifestation of the universal form. The biggest and the minutest are beyond their conception, so they cannot imagine that a form like that of a human being can simultaneously control the infinite and the minute. Actually although He is controlling the infinite and the finite, He is apart from all this manifestation. It is clearly stated concerning His yogam aiśvaram, His inconceivable transcendental energy, that He can control the infinite and the finite simultaneously and that He can remain aloof from them. Although the foolish cannot imagine how Kṛṣṇa, who appears just like a human being, can control the infinite and the finite, those who are pure devotees accept this, for they know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore they completely surrender unto Him and engage in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, devotional service of the Lord.
