Ramayana · Chapter 1.049

tataḥ prāguttarāṃ gatvā rāmaḥ saumitriṇā saha
viśvāmitraṃ puraskṛtya yajñavāṭam upāgamat

rāmas tu muniśārdūlam uvāca sahalakṣmaṇaḥ
sādhvī yajñasamṛddhir hi janakasya mahātmanaḥ

bahūnīha sahasrāṇi nānādeśanivāsinām
brāhmaṇānāṃ mahābhāga vedādhyayanaśālinām

ṛṣivāṭāś ca dṛśyante śakaṭīśatasaṃkulāḥ
deśo vidhīyatāṃ brahman yatra vatsyāmahe vayam

rāmasya vacanaṃ śrutvā viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ
niveśam akarod deśe vivikte salilāyute

viśvāmitraṃ muniśreṣṭhaṃ śrutvā sa nṛpatis tadā
śatānandaṃ puraskṛtya purohitam aninditam

ṛtvijo 'pi mahātmānas tv arghyam ādāya satvaram
viśvāmitrāya dharmeṇa dadur mantrapuraskṛtam

pratigṛhya tu tāṃ pūjāṃ janakasya mahātmanaḥ
papraccha kuśalaṃ rājño yajñasya ca nirāmayam

sa tāṃś cāpi munīn pṛṣṭvā sopādhyāya purodhasaḥ
yathānyāyaṃ tataḥ sarvaiḥ samāgacchat prahṛṣṭavān

atha rājā muniśreṣṭhaṃ kṛtāñjalir abhāṣata
āsane bhagavān āstāṃ sahaibhir munisattamaiḥ

janakasya vacaḥ śrutvā niṣasāda mahāmuniḥ
purodhā ṛtvijaś caiva rājā ca saha mantribhiḥ

āsaneṣu yathānyāyam upaviṣṭān samantataḥ
dṛṣṭvā sa nṛpatis tatra viśvāmitram athābravīt

adya yajñasamṛddhir me saphalā daivataiḥ kṛtā
adya yajñaphalaṃ prāptaṃ bhagavaddarśanān mayā

dhanyo 'smy anugṛhīto 'smi yasya me munipuṃgava
yajñopasadanaṃ brahman prāpto 'si munibhiḥ saha

dvādaśāhaṃ tu brahmarṣe śeṣam āhur manīṣiṇaḥ
tato bhāgārthino devān draṣṭum arhasi kauśika

ity uktvā muniśārdūlaṃ prahṛṣṭavadanas tadā
punas taṃ paripapraccha prāñjaliḥ prayato nṛpaḥ

imau kumārau bhadraṃ te devatulyaparākramau
gajasiṃhagatī vīrau śārdūlavṛṣabhopamau

padmapatraviśālākṣau khaḍgatūṇīdhanurdharau
aśvināv iva rūpeṇa samupasthitayauvanau

yadṛcchayaiva gāṃ prāptau devalokād ivāmarau
kathaṃ padbhyām iha prāptau kimarthaṃ kasya vā mune

varāyudhadharau vīrau kasya putrau mahāmune
bhūṣayantāv imaṃ deśaṃ candrasūryāv ivāmbaram

parasparasya sadṛśau pramāṇeṅgitaceṣṭitaiḥ
kākapakṣadharau vīrau śrotum icchāmi tattvataḥ

tasya tad vacanaṃ śrutvā janakasya mahātmanaḥ
nyavedayan mahātmānau putrau daśarathasya tau

siddhāśramanivāsaṃ ca rākṣasānāṃ vadhaṃ tathā
tac cāgamanam avyagraṃ viśālāyāś ca darśanam

ahalyādarśanaṃ caiva gautamena samāgamam
mahādhanuṣi jijñāsāṃ kartum āgamanaṃ tathā

etat sarvaṃ mahātejā janakāya mahātmane
nivedya virarāmātha viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ
