Ramayana · Chapter 2.011

atadarhaṃ mahārājaṃ śayānam atathocitam
yayātim iva puṇyānte devalokāt paricyutam

anartharūpā siddhārthā abhītā bhayadarśinī
punar ākārayām āsa tam eva varam aṅganā

tvaṃ katthase mahārāja satyavādī dṛḍhavrataḥ
mama cemaṃ varaṃ kasmād vidhārayitum icchasi

evam uktas tu kaikeyyā rājā daśarathas tadā
pratyuvāca tataḥ kruddho muhūrtaṃ vihvalann iva

mṛte mayi gate rāme vanaṃ manujapuṃgave
hantānārye mamāmitre rāmaḥ pravrājito vanam

yadi satyaṃ bravīmy etat tad asatyaṃ bhaviṣyati
akīrtir atulā loke dhruvaṃ paribhavaś ca me

tathā vilapatas tasya paribhramitacetasaḥ
astam abhyagamat sūryo rajanī cābhyavartata

sa triyāmā tathārtasya candramaṇḍalamaṇḍitā
rājño vilapamānasya na vyabhāsata śarvarī

tathaivoṣṇaṃ viniḥśvasya vṛddho daśaratho nṛpaḥ
vilalāpārtavad duḥkhaṃ gaganāsaktalocanaḥ

na prabhātaṃ tvayecchāmi mayāyaṃ racito 'ñjaliḥ
atha vā gamyatāṃ śīghraṃ nāham icchāmi nirghṛṇām
nṛśaṃsāṃ kaikeyīṃ draṣṭuṃ yatkṛte vyasanaṃ mahat

evam uktvā tato rājā kaikeyīṃ saṃyatāñjaliḥ
prasādayām āsa punaḥ kaikeyīṃ cedam abravīt

sādhuvṛttasya dīnasya tvadgatasya gatāyuṣaḥ
prasādaḥ kriyatāṃ devi bhadre rājño viśeṣataḥ

śūnyena khalu suśroṇi mayedaṃ samudāhṛtam
kuru sādhu prasādaṃ me bāle sahṛdayā hy asi

viśuddhabhāvasya hi duṣṭabhāvā tāmrekṣaṇasyāśrukalasya rājñaḥ
śrutvā vicitraṃ karuṇaṃ vilāpaṃ bhartur nṛśaṃsā na cakāra vākyam

tataḥ sa rājā punar eva mūrchitaḥ priyām atuṣṭāṃ pratikūlabhāṣiṇīm
samīkṣya putrasya vivāsanaṃ prati kṣitau visaṃjño nipapāta duḥkhitaḥ
