Ramayana · Chapter 1.074

rāma dāśarathe vīra vīryaṃ te śrūyate 'dhutam
dhanuṣo bhedanaṃ caiva nikhilena mayā śrutam

tad adbhutam acintyaṃ ca bhedanaṃ dhanuṣas tvayā
tac chrutvāham anuprāpto dhanur gṛhyāparaṃ śubham

tad idaṃ ghorasaṃkāśaṃ jāmadagnyaṃ mahad dhanuḥ
pūrayasva śareṇaiva svabalaṃ darśayasva ca

tad ahaṃ te balaṃ dṛṣṭvā dhanuṣo 'sya prapūraṇe
dvandvayuddhaṃ pradāsyāmi vīryaślāghyam idaṃ tava

tasya tad vacanaṃ śrutvā rājā daśarathas tadā
viṣaṇṇavadano dīnaḥ prāñjalir vākyam abravīt

kṣatraroṣāt praśāntas tvaṃ brāhmaṇasya mahāyaśāḥ
bālānāṃ mama putrāṇām abhayaṃ dātum arhasi

bhārgavāṇāṃ kule jātaḥ svādhyāyavrataśālinām
sahasrākṣe pratijñāya śastraṃ nikṣiptavān asi

sa tvaṃ dharmaparo bhūtvā kāśyapāya vasuṃdharām
dattvā vanam upāgamya mahendrakṛtaketanaḥ

mama sarvavināśāya saṃprāptas tvaṃ mahāmune
na caikasmin hate rāme sarve jīvāmahe vayam

bruvaty evaṃ daśarathe jāmadagnyaḥ pratāpavān
anādṛtyaiva tad vākyaṃ rāmam evābhyabhāṣata

ime dve dhanuṣī śreṣṭhe divye lokābhiviśrute
dṛḍhe balavatī mukhye sukṛte viśvakarmaṇā

atisṛṣṭaṃ surair ekaṃ tryambakāya yuyutsave
tripuraghnaṃ naraśreṣṭha bhagnaṃ kākutstha yat tvayā

idaṃ dvitīyaṃ durdharṣaṃ viṣṇor dattaṃ surottamaiḥ
samānasāraṃ kākutstha raudreṇa dhanuṣā tv idam

tadā tu devatāḥ sarvāḥ pṛcchanti sma pitāmaham
śitikaṇṭhasya viṣṇoś ca balābalanirīkṣayā

abhiprāyaṃ tu vijñāya devatānāṃ pitāmahaḥ
virodhaṃ janayām āsa tayoḥ satyavatāṃ varaḥ

virodhe ca mahad yuddham abhavad romaharṣaṇam
śitikaṇṭhasya viṣṇoś ca parasparajayaiṣiṇoḥ

tadā taj jṛmbhitaṃ śaivaṃ dhanur bhīmaparākramam
huṃkāreṇa mahādevaḥ stambhito 'tha trilocanaḥ

devais tadā samāgamya sarṣisaṃghaiḥ sacāraṇaiḥ
yācitau praśamaṃ tatra jagmatus tau surottamau

jṛmbhitaṃ tad dhanur dṛṣṭvā śaivaṃ viṣṇuparākramaiḥ
adhikaṃ menire viṣṇuṃ devāḥ sarṣigaṇās tadā

dhanū rudras tu saṃkruddho videheṣu mahāyaśāḥ
devarātasya rājarṣer dadau haste sasāyakam

idaṃ ca viṣṇavaṃ rāma dhanuḥ parapuraṃjayam
ṛcīke bhārgave prādād viṣṇuḥ sa nyāsam uttamam

ṛcīkas tu mahātejāḥ putrasyāpratikarmaṇaḥ
pitur mama dadau divyaṃ jamadagner mahātmanaḥ

nyastaśastre pitari me tapobalasamanvite
arjuno vidadhe mṛtyuṃ prākṛtāṃ buddhim āsthitaḥ

vadham apratirūpaṃ tu pituḥ śrutvā sudāruṇam
kṣatram utsādayaṃ roṣāj jātaṃ jātam anekaśaḥ

pṛthivīṃ cākhilāṃ prāpya kāśyapāya mahātmane
yajñasyānte tadā rāma dakṣiṇāṃ puṇyakarmaṇe

dattvā mahendranilayas tapobalasamanvitaḥ
śrutavān dhanuṣo bhedaṃ tato 'haṃ drutam āgataḥ

tad idaṃ vaiṣṇavaṃ rāma pitṛpaitāmahaṃ mahat
kṣatradharmaṃ puraskṛtya gṛhṇīṣva dhanuruttamam

yojayasva dhanuḥ śreṣṭhe śaraṃ parapuraṃjayam
yadi śaknoṣi kākutstha dvandvaṃ dāsyāmi te tataḥ
