Ramayana · Chapter 1.030

atha tāṃ rajanīṃ tatra kṛtārthau rāmalakṣaṇau
ūṣatur muditau vīrau prahṛṣṭenāntarātmanā

prabhātāyāṃ tu śarvaryāṃ kṛtapaurvāhṇikakriyau
viśvāmitram ṛṣīṃś cānyān sahitāv abhijagmatuḥ

abhivādya muniśreṣṭhaṃ jvalantam iva pāvakam
ūcatur madhurodāraṃ vākyaṃ madhurabhāṣiṇau

imau svo muniśārdūla kiṃkarau samupasthitau
ājñāpaya yatheṣṭaṃ vai śāsanaṃ karavāva kim

evam ukte tatas tābhyāṃ sarva eva maharṣayaḥ
viśvāmitraṃ puraskṛtya rāmaṃ vacanam abruvan

maithilasya naraśreṣṭha janakasya bhaviṣyati
yajñaḥ paramadharmiṣṭhas tatra yāsyāmahe vayam

tvaṃ caiva naraśārdūla sahāsmābhir gamiṣyasi
adbhutaṃ ca dhanūratnaṃ tatra tvaṃ draṣṭum arhasi

tad dhi pūrvaṃ naraśreṣṭha dattaṃ sadasi daivataiḥ
aprameyabalaṃ ghoraṃ makhe paramabhāsvaram

nāsya devā na gandharvā nāsurā na ca rākṣasāḥ
kartum āropaṇaṃ śaktā na kathaṃ cana mānuṣāḥ

dhanuṣas tasya vīryaṃ hi jijñāsanto mahīkṣitaḥ
na śekur āropayituṃ rājaputrā mahābalāḥ

tad dhanur naraśārdūla maithilasya mahātmanaḥ
tatra drakṣyasi kākutstha yajñaṃ cādbhutadarśanam

tad dhi yajñaphalaṃ tena maithilenottamaṃ dhanuḥ
yācitaṃ naraśārdūla sunābhaṃ sarvadaivataiḥ

evam uktvā munivaraḥ prasthānam akarot tadā
sarṣisaṃghaḥ sakākutstha āmantrya vanadevatāḥ

svasti vo 'stu gamiṣyāmi siddhaḥ siddhāśramād aham
uttare jāhnavītīre himavantaṃ śiloccayam

pradakṣiṇaṃ tataḥ kṛtvā siddhāśramam anuttamam
uttarāṃ diśam uddiśya prasthātum upacakrame

taṃ vrajantaṃ munivaram anvagād anusāriṇām
śakaṭī śatamātraṃ tu prayāṇe brahmavādinām

mṛgapakṣigaṇāś caiva siddhāśramanivāsinaḥ
anujagmur mahātmānaṃ viśvāmitraṃ mahāmunim

te gatvā dūram adhvānaṃ lambamāne divākare
vāsaṃ cakrur munigaṇāḥ śoṇākūle samāhitāḥ

te 'staṃ gate dinakare snātvā hutahutāśanāḥ
viśvāmitraṃ puraskṛtya niṣedur amitaujasaḥ

rāmo 'pi sahasaumitrir munīṃs tān abhipūjya ca
agrato niṣasādātha viśvāmitrasya dhīmataḥ

atha rāmo mahātejā viśvāmitraṃ mahāmunim
papraccha muniśārdūlaṃ kautūhalasamanvitaḥ

bhagavan ko nv ayaṃ deśaḥ samṛddhavanaśobhitaḥ
śrotum icchāmi bhadraṃ te vaktum arhasi tattvataḥ

codito rāmavākyena kathayām āsa suvrataḥ
tasya deśasya nikhilam ṛṣimadhye mahātapāḥ
