Abhanga 1098

This abhang names the Rāmē-sōḍavilī-Sītā register (R-c 9):

When Rāvaṇa-vadha; all relation cut — and you have to recognize this register
When Lankā-rājya to Bibhīṣaṇa; long-time established — and you accept this image
When limit of audārya; what to describe — and you allow this image

केला रावणाचा वध । अवघा तोडिला संबंध ॥१॥ लंकाराज्यें बिभीषणा । केली चिरकाळ स्थापना ॥ध्रु.॥ उदार्याची सीमा । काय वर्णू रघुरामा ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे माझा दाता । रामें सोडविली सीता ॥३॥

Rāmacaritra abhanga 9. Four claims:

  1. रावण-वध — संबंध-तोड. All-relation-cut-claim. Did Rāvaṇa-vadha; cut off all sambandha*. (Killing Rāvaṇa cut all his relationships at the root.)

  3. उदार्य-सीमा — Raghu-rāma. Limit-of-audārya-claim. The sīma of audārya (generosity); what shall I varṇa, Raghu-rāmā? (Rāma is the limit of audārya — gave Lankā away to the brother of his enemy.)

  4. Tuka: दाता — Sītā-सोडविली. Sītā-freed-claim. Tuka says: my dātā; Rāmē sōḍavilī Sītā.
