Rāmāyaṇa, Ayodhyākāṇḍa, 92
niveśya senāṃ tu vibhuḥ padbhyāṃ pādavatāṃ varaḥ /
abhigantuṃ sa kākutstham iyeṣa guruvartakam

niviṣṭamātre sainye tu yathoddeśaṃ vinītavat /
bharato bhrātaraṃ vākyaṃ śatrughnam idam abravīt

kṣipraṃ vanam idaṃ saumya narasaṃghaiḥ samantataḥ /
lubdhaiś ca sahitair ebhis tvam anveṣitum arhasi

yāvan na rāmaṃ drakṣyāmi lakṣmaṇaṃ vā mahābalam /
vaidehīṃ vā mahābhāgāṃ na me śāntir bhaviṣyati

yāvan na candrasaṃkāśaṃ drakṣyāmi śubham ānanam /
bhrātuḥ padmapalāśākṣaṃ na me śāntir bhaviṣyati

yāvan na caraṇau bhrātuḥ pārthivavyañjanānvitau /
śirasā dhārayiṣyāmi na me śāntir bhaviṣyati

yāvan na rājye rājyārhaḥ pitṛpaitāmahe sthitaḥ /
abhiṣekajalaklinno na me śāntir bhaviṣyati

kṛtakṛtyā mahābhāgā vaidehī janakātmajā /
bhartāraṃ sāgarāntāyāḥ pṛthivyā yānugacchati

subhagaś citrakūṭo 'sau girirājopamo giriḥ /
yasmin vasati kākutsthaḥ kubera iva nandane

kṛtakāryam idaṃ durgaṃ vanaṃ vyālaniṣevitam /
yad adhyāste mahātejā rāmaḥ śastrabhṛtāṃ varaḥ

evam uktvā mahātejā bharataḥ puruṣarṣabhaḥ /
padbhyām eva mahātejāḥ praviveśa mahad vanam

sa tāni drumajālāni jātāni girisānuṣu /
puṣpitāgrāṇi madhyena jagāma vadatāṃ varaḥ

sa gireś citrakūṭasya sālam āsādya puṣpitam /
rāmāśramagatasyāgner dadarśa dhvajam ucchritam

taṃ dṛṣṭvā bharataḥ śrīmān mumoda sahabāndhavaḥ /
atra rāma iti jñātvā gataḥ pāram ivāmbhasaḥ

sa citrakūṭe tu girau niśāmya rāmāśramaṃ puṇyajanopapannam /
guhena sārdhaṃ tvarito jagāma punar niveśyaiva camūṃ mahātmā
