Ramayana · Chapter 1.014

medhāvī tu tato dhyātvā sa kiṃ cid idam uttamam
labdhasaṃjñas tatas taṃ tu vedajño nṛpam abravīt

iṣṭiṃ te 'haṃ kariṣyāmi putrīyāṃ putrakāraṇāt
atharvaśirasi proktair mantraiḥ siddhāṃ vidhānataḥ

tataḥ prākramad iṣṭiṃ tāṃ putrīyāṃ putra kāraṇāt
juhāva cāgnau tejasvī mantradṛṣṭena karmaṇā

tato devāḥ sagandharvāḥ siddhāś ca paramarṣayaḥ
bhāgapratigrahārthaṃ vai samavetā yathāvidhi

tāḥ sametya yathānyāyaṃ tasmin sadasi devatāḥ
abruvaṃl lokakartāraṃ brahmāṇaṃ vacanaṃ mahat

bhagavaṃs tvatprasādena rāvaṇo nāma rākṣasaḥ
sarvānno bādhate vīryāc chāsituṃ taṃ na śaknumaḥ

tvayā tasmai varo dattaḥ prītena bhagavan purā
mānayantaś ca taṃ nityaṃ sarvaṃ tasya kṣamāmahe

udvejayati lokāṃs trīn ucchritān dveṣṭi durmatiḥ
śakraṃ tridaśarājānaṃ pradharṣayitum icchati

ṛṣīn yakṣān sagandharvān asurān brāhmaṇāṃs tathā
atikrāmati durdharṣo varadānena mohitaḥ

nainaṃ sūryaḥ pratapati pārśve vāti na mārutaḥ
calormimālī taṃ dṛṣṭvā samudro 'pi na kampate

tan manan no bhayaṃ tasmād rākṣasād ghoradarśanāt
vadhārthaṃ tasya bhagavann upāyaṃ kartum arhasi

evam uktaḥ suraiḥ sarvaiś cintayitvā tato 'bravīt
hantāyaṃ vihitas tasya vadhopāyo durātmanaḥ

tena gandharvayakṣāṇāṃ devadānavarakṣasām
avadhyo 'smīti vāg uktā tathety uktaṃ ca tan mayā

nākīrtayad avajñānāt tad rakṣo mānuṣāṃs tadā
tasmāt sa mānuṣād vadhyo mṛtur nānyo 'sya vidyate

etac chrutvā priyaṃ vākyaṃ brahmaṇā samudāhṛtam
devā maharṣayaḥ sarve prahṛṣṭās te 'bhavaṃs tadā

etasminn antare viṣṇur upayāto mahādyutiḥ

tatra tvaṃ mānuṣo bhūtvā pravṛddhaṃ lokakaṇṭakam
avadhyaṃ daivatair viṣṇo samare jahi rāvaṇam

sa hi devān sagandharvān siddhāṃś ca ṛṣisattamān
rākṣaso rāvaṇo mūrkho vīryotsekena bādhate

tad uddhataṃ rāvaṇam ṛddhatejasaṃ pravṛddhadarpaṃ tridaśeśvaradviṣam
virāvaṇaṃ sādhu tapasvikaṇṭakaṃ tapasvinām uddhara taṃ bhayāvaham
