[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Looking for a verse: अवश्यं भाविभावानां.....

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear friends,

Though deviating from the subject line, kindly permit me to add that even the Bhagavad Gita has 21 verses common with the Yogavashishtha.

Regards,
Sunil KB

 Thanks for
 the link which hints at the Yogavasishtha source. If there
 is a
 YV unicode resource, maybe we can
 search for this verse there. YV is a very
 old text and Sri Vidyaranya has quoted
 extensively from there in the JVM.
 In fact
 in the Panchadashi context, this verse appears amidst some
 other
 verses, from the BG, etc. which are
 all citations. Hence it is likely that
 this
 verse is from a source outside the Panchadashi.
 
 The Yogavasishtha also
 presents Rama as deeply affected by the ways of the
 world, life, etc. and that is where the enquiry
 into the nature of samsāra,
 remedy, etc.
 start as a dialogue between Vasishtha and Rama.
 
 There are said to be half a
 dozen commentaries to the YV. Vidyaranya says
 while referring to the YV verses, 'vālmiki
 says...'. So, there has been a
 belief
 that the YV is also a part of Ramayana or an independent
 work by
 Valmiki.
 
 The inclusion of Rama along with Nala and
 Yudhishthira is somewhat strange.
 However,
 in the Valmiki Ramayana we have verses from the mouth of
 Rama
 expressing the miserable times he is
 undergoing.

 Plunged in deep grief, Rama heaved hot sighs
 and said these words to
 griefstricken
 Lakshmana, *weeping:*
 
 न
 मद्विधो
 दुष्कृतकर्मकारी
 मन्ये द्वितीयोऽस्ति
 वसुन्धरायाम्।
 शोकेन शोको हि
 परम्पराया मा मेति
 भिन्दन्हृदयं
 मनश्च।।3.63.3।।
 I think
 there is none on earth like me who has performed such
 forbidden
 acts. One grief after the other is
 successively piercing my heart and my
 mind.
 
 पूर्वं मया
 नूनमभीप्सितानि
 पापानि
 कर्माण्यसकृत्कृतानि।
 तत्रायमद्यापतितो
 विपाको दुःखेन दुःखं
 यदहं विशामि।।3.63.4।।
 In the past I had certainly done some sinful
 deeds I often liked the
 consequences of
 which have descended on me now as I am experiencing one
 sorrow after another.
 
 राज्यप्रणाशस्स्वजनैर्वियोगः
 पितुर्विनाशो
 जननीवियोगः।
 सर्वाणि मे
 लक्ष्मण
 शोकवेगमापूरयन्ति
 प्रविचिन्तितानि।।3.63.5।।
 O Lakshmana, loss of kingdom, separation from
 kith and kin, death of
 father, separation
 from mother--all these thoughts augment my sorrow faster
 and in greater measure.
 
 सर्वं तु दुःखं मम
 लक्ष्मणेदं शान्तं
 शरीरे वनमेत्य
 शून्यम्।
 सीतावियोगात्पुनरप्युदीर्णं
 काष्ठैरिवाग्निस्सहसा
 प्रदीप्तः।।3.63.6।।
 O Lakshmana, all this sorrow calmed down when I
 came to this solitary
 forest. But with
 Sita's separation, it was rekindled just as fire
 blazes
 forth again with logs of wood.
