Ramayana · Chapter 1.056

tataḥ saṃtaptahṛdayaḥ smaran nigraham ātmanaḥ
viniḥśvasya viniḥśvasya kṛtavairo mahātmanā

sa dakṣiṇāṃ diśaṃ gatvā mahiṣyā saha rāghava
tatāpa paramaṃ ghoraṃ viśvāmitro mahātapāḥ
phalamūlāśano dāntaś cacāra paramaṃ tapaḥ

athāsya jajñire putrāḥ satyadharmaparāyaṇāḥ
haviṣpando madhuṣpando dṛḍhanetro mahārathaḥ

pūrṇe varṣasahasre tu brahmā lokapitāmahaḥ
abravīn madhuraṃ vākyaṃ viśvāmitraṃ tapodhanam

jitā rājarṣilokās te tapasā kuśikātmaja
anena tapasā tvāṃ hi rājarṣir iti vidmahe

evam uktvā mahātejā jagāma saha daivataiḥ
triviṣṭapaṃ brahmalokaṃ lokānāṃ parameśvaraḥ

viśvāmitro 'pi tac chrutvā hriyā kiṃ cid avāṅmukhaḥ
duḥkhena mahatāviṣṭaḥ samanyur idam abravīt

tapaś ca sumahat taptaṃ rājarṣir iti māṃ viduḥ
devāḥ sarṣigaṇāḥ sarve nāsti manye tapaḥphalam

evaṃ niścitya manasā bhūya eva mahātapāḥ
tapaś cacāra kākutstha paramaṃ paramātmavān

etasminn eva kāle tu satyavādī jitendriyaḥ
triśaṅkur iti vikhyāta ikṣvāku kulanandanaḥ

tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā yajeyam iti rāghava
gaccheyaṃ svaśarīreṇa devānāṃ paramāṃ gatim

sa vasiṣṭhaṃ samāhūya kathayām āsa cintitam
aśakyam iti cāpy ukto vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā

pratyākhyāto vasiṣṭhena sa yayau dakṣiṇāṃ diśam
vasiṣṭhā dīrgha tapasas tapo yatra hi tepire

triśaṅkuḥ sumahātejāḥ śataṃ paramabhāsvaram
vasiṣṭhaputrān dadṛśe tapyamānān yaśasvinaḥ

so 'bhigamya mahātmānaḥ sarvān eva guroḥ sutān
abhivādyānupūrvyeṇa hriyā kiṃ cid avāṅmukhaḥ
abravīt sumahātejāḥ sarvān eva kṛtāñjaliḥ

śaraṇaṃ vaḥ prapadye 'haṃ śaraṇyāñ śaraṇāgataḥ
pratyākhyāto 'smi bhadraṃ vo vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā

yaṣṭukāmo mahāyajñaṃ tad anujñātum arthatha
guruputrān ahaṃ sarvān namaskṛtya prasādaye

śirasā praṇato yāce brāhmaṇāṃs tapasi sthitān
te māṃ bhavantaḥ siddhyarthaṃ yājayantu samāhitāḥ
saśarīro yathāhaṃ hi devalokam avāpnuyām

pratyākhyāto vasiṣṭhena gatim anyāṃ tapodhanāḥ
guruputrān ṛte sarvān nāhaṃ paśyāmi kāṃ cana

ikṣvākūṇāṃ hi sarveṣāṃ purodhāḥ paramā gatiḥ
tasmād anantaraṃ sarve bhavanto daivataṃ mama
