tato 'bravīn mahātejā rāmo lakṣmaṇam agrataḥ /
sthitaṃ prāggāminaṃ vīraṃ yācamānaṃ kṛtāñjalim

mayādya saha saumitre tvayi gacchati tad vanam /
ko bhariṣyati kausalyāṃ sumitrāṃ vā yaśasvinīm

abhivarṣati kāmair yaḥ parjanyaḥ pṛthivīm iva /
sa kāmapāśaparyasto mahātejā mahīpatiḥ

sā hi rājyam idaṃ prāpya nṛpasyāśvapateḥ sutā /
duḥkhitānāṃ sapatnīnāṃ na kariṣyati śobhanam

evam uktas tu rāmeṇa lakṣmaṇaḥ ślakṣṇayā girā /
pratyuvāca tadā rāmaṃ vākyajño vākyakovidam

tavaiva tejasā vīra bharataḥ pūjayiṣyati /
kausalyāṃ ca sumitrāṃ ca prayato nātra saṃśayaḥ

kausalyā bibhṛyād āryā sahasram api madvidhān /
yasyāḥ sahasraṃ grāmāṇāṃ samprāptam upajīvanam

dhanur ādāya saśaraṃ khanitrapiṭakādharaḥ /
agratas te gamiṣyāmi panthānam anudarśayan

āhariṣyāmi te nityaṃ mūlāni ca phalāni ca /
vanyāni yāni cānyāni svāhārāṇi tapasvinām

bhavāṃs tu saha vaidehyā girisānuṣu raṃsyate /
ahaṃ sarvaṃ kariṣyāmi jāgrataḥ svapataś ca te

rāmas tv anena vākyena suprītaḥ pratyuvāca tam /
vrajāpṛcchasva saumitre sarvam eva suhṛjjanam

ye ca rājño dadau divye mahātmā varuṇaḥ svayam /
janakasya mahāyajñe dhanuṣī raudradarśane

abhedyakavace divye tūṇī cākṣayasāyakau /
ādityavimalau cobhau khaḍgau hemapariṣkṛtau

satkṛtya nihitaṃ sarvam etad ācāryasadmani /
sa tvam āyudham ādāya kṣipram āvraja lakṣmaṇa

sa suhṛjjanam āmantrya vanavāsāya niścitaḥ /
ikṣvākugurum āmantrya jagrāhāyudham uttamam

tad divyaṃ rājaśārdūlaḥ satkṛtaṃ mālyabhūṣitam /
rāmāya darśayāmāsa saumitriḥ sarvam āyudham

tam uvācātmavān rāmaḥ prītyā lakṣmaṇam āgatam /
kāle tvam āgataḥ saumya kāṅkṣite mama lakṣmaṇa

ahaṃ pradātum icchāmi yad idaṃ māmakaṃ dhanam /
