Rāmāyaṇa-rev-2-3 (revised text) · Chapter 2.73

tataḥ prabhātasamaye divase 'tha caturdaśe
sametya rājakartāro bharataṃ vākyam abruvan //

gato daśarathaḥ svargaṃ yo no gurutaro guruḥ
rāmaṃ pravrājya vai jyeṣṭhaṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ ca mahābalam //

tvam adya bhava no rājā rājaputra mahāyaśaḥ
saṃgatyā nāparādhnoti rājyam etad anāyakam //

ābhiṣecanikaṃ sarvam idam ādāya rāghava
pratīkṣate tvāṃ svajanaḥ śreṇayaś ca nṛpātmaja //

rājyaṃ gṛhāṇa bharata pitṛpaitāmahaṃ mahat
abhiṣecaya cātmānaṃ pāhi cāsmān nararṣabha //

ābhiṣecanikaṃ bhāṇḍaṃ kṛtvā sarvaṃ pradakṣiṇam
bharatas taṃ janaṃ sarvaṃ pratyuvāca dhṛtavrataḥ //

jyeṣṭhasya rājatā nityam ucitā hi kulasya naḥ
naivaṃ bhavanto māṃ vaktum arhanti kuśalā janāḥ //

rāmaḥ pūrvo hi no bhrātā bhaviṣyati mahīpatiḥ
ahaṃ tv araṇye vatsyāmi varṣāṇi nava pañca ca //

yujyatāṃ mahatī senā caturaṅgamahābalā
ānayiṣyāmy ahaṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ bhrātaraṃ rāghavaṃ vanāt //

ābhiṣecanikaṃ caiva sarvam etad upaskṛtam
puraskṛtya gamiṣyāmi rāmahetor vanaṃ prati //

tatraiva taṃ naravyāghram abhiṣicya puraskṛtam
āneṣyāmi tu vai rāmaṃ havyavāham ivādhvarāt //

na sakāmāṃ kariṣyāmi svām imāṃ mātṛgandhinīm
vane vatsyāmy ahaṃ durge rāmo rājā bhaviṣyati //

kriyatāṃ śilpibhiḥ panthāḥ samāni viṣamāṇi ca
rakṣiṇaś cānusaṃyāntu pathi durgavicārakāḥ //

evaṃ sambhāṣamāṇaṃ taṃ rāmahetor nṛpātmajam
pratyuvāca janaḥ sarvaḥ śrīmadvākyam anuttamam //

evaṃ te bhāṣamāṇasya padmā śrīr upatiṣṭhatām
yas tvaṃ jyeṣṭhe nṛpasute pṛthivīṃ dātum icchasi //

anuttamaṃ tad vacanaṃ nṛpātmaja prabhāṣitaṃ saṃśravaṇe niśamya ca
praharṣajās taṃ prati bāṣpabindavo nipetur āryānananetrasambhavāḥ //

ūcus te vacanam idaṃ niśamya hṛṣṭāḥ sāmātyāḥ sapariṣado viyātaśokāḥ
panthānaṃ naravarabhaktimāñ janaś ca vyādiṣṭas tava vacanāc ca śilpivargaḥ //
