Ramayana · Chapter 2.050

atha rātryāṃ vyatītāyām avasuptam anantaram
prabodhayām āsa śanair lakṣmaṇaṃ raghunandanaḥ

saumitre śṛṇu vanyānāṃ valgu vyāharatāṃ svanam
saṃpratiṣṭhāmahe kālaḥ prasthānasya paraṃtapa

sa suptaḥ samaye bhrātrā lakṣmaṇaḥ pratibodhitaḥ
jahau nidrāṃ ca tandrīṃ ca prasaktaṃ ca pathi śramam

tata utthāya te sarve spṛṣṭvā nadyāḥ śivaṃ jalam
panthānam ṛṣiṇoddiṣṭaṃ citrakūṭasya taṃ yayuḥ

tataḥ saṃprasthitaḥ kāle rāmaḥ saumitriṇā saha

paśya bhallātakān phullān narair anupasevitān
phalapatrair avanatān nūnaṃ śakṣyāmi jīvitum

paśya droṇapramāṇāni lambamānāni lakṣmaṇa
