Ramayana · Chapter 1.038

viśvāmitravacaḥ śrutvā kathānte raghunandana
uvāca paramaprīto muniṃ dīptam ivānalam

śrotum ichāmi bhadraṃ te vistareṇa kathām imām
pūrvako me kathaṃ brahman yajñaṃ vai samupāharat

viśvāmitras tu kākutstham uvāca prahasann iva
śrūyatāṃ vistaro rāma sagarasya mahātmanaḥ

śaṃkaraśvaśuro nāma himavān acalottamaḥ
vindhyaparvatam āsādya nirīkṣete parasparam

tayor madhye pravṛtto 'bhūd yajñaḥ sa puruṣottama
sa hi deśo naravyāghra praśasto yajñakarmaṇi

tasyāśvacaryāṃ kākutstha dṛḍhadhanvā mahārathaḥ
aṃśumān akarot tāta sagarasya mate sthitaḥ

tasya parvaṇi taṃ yajñaṃ yajamānasya vāsavaḥ
rākṣasīṃ tanum āsthāya yajñiyāśvam apāharat

hriyamāṇe tu kākutstha tasminn aśve mahātmanaḥ
upādhyāya gaṇāḥ sarve yajamānam athābruvan

ayaṃ parvaṇi vegena yajñiyāśvo 'panīyate
hartāraṃ jahi kākutstha hayaś caivopanīyatām

yajñac chidraṃ bhavaty etat sarveṣām aśivāya naḥ
tat tathā kriyatāṃ rājan yathāchidraḥ kratur bhavet

upādhyāya vacaḥ śrutvā tasmin sadasi pārthivaḥ
ṣaṣṭiṃ putrasahasrāṇi vākyam etad uvāca ha

gatiṃ putrā na paśyāmi rakṣasāṃ puruṣarṣabhāḥ
mantrapūtair mahābhāgair āsthito hi mahākratuḥ

tad gacchata vicinvadhvaṃ putrakā bhadram astu vaḥ
samudramālinīṃ sarvāṃ pṛthivīm anugacchata

ekaikaṃ yojanaṃ putrā vistāram abhigacchata

yāvat turagasaṃdarśas tāvat khanata medinīm
tam eva hayahartāraṃ mārgamāṇā mamājñayā

dīkṣitaḥ pautrasahitaḥ sopādhyāyagaṇo hy aham
iha sthāsyāmi bhadraṃ vo yāvat turagadarśanam

ity uktvā hṛṣṭamanaso rājaputrā mahābalāḥ
jagmur mahītalaṃ rāma pitur vacanayantritāḥ

yojanāyām avistāram ekaiko dharaṇītalam
bibhiduḥ puruṣavyāghra vajrasparśasamair bhujaiḥ

śūlair aśanikalpaiś ca halaiś cāpi sudāruṇaiḥ
bhidyamānā vasumatī nanāda raghunandana

nāgānāṃ vadhyamānānām asurāṇāṃ ca rāghava
rākṣasānāṃ ca durdharṣaḥ sattvānāṃ ninado 'bhavat

yojanānāṃ sahasrāṇi ṣaṣṭiṃ tu raghunandana
bibhidur dharaṇīṃ vīrā rasātalam anuttamam

evaṃ parvatasaṃbādhaṃ jambūdvīpaṃ nṛpātmajāḥ
khananto nṛpaśārdūla sarvataḥ paricakramuḥ

tato devāḥ sagandharvāḥ sāsurāḥ sahapannagāḥ
saṃbhrāntamanasaḥ sarve pitāmaham upāgaman

te prasādya mahātmānaṃ viṣaṇṇavadanās tadā
ūcuḥ paramasaṃtrastāḥ pitāmaham idaṃ vacaḥ

bhagavan pṛthivī sarvā khanyate sagarātmajaiḥ
bahavaś ca mahātmāno vadhyante jalacāriṇaḥ

ayaṃ yajñahano 'smākam anenāśvo 'panīyate
iti te sarvabhūtāni nighnanti sagarātmajaḥ
