Ramayana · Chapter 2.055

vanaṃ gate dharmapare rāme ramayatāṃ vare
kausalyā rudatī svārtā bhartāram idam abravīt

yady apitriṣu lokeṣu prathitaṃ te mayad yaśaḥ
sānukrośo vadānyaś ca priyavādī ca rāghavaḥ

kathaṃ naravaraśreṣṭha putrau tau saha sītayā
duḥkhitau sukhasaṃvṛddhau vane duḥkhaṃ sahiṣyataḥ

sā nūnaṃ taruṇī śyāmā sukumārī sukhocitā
katham uṣṇaṃ ca śītaṃ ca maithilī prasahiṣyate

bhuktvāśanaṃ viśālākṣī sūpadaṃśānvitaṃ śubham
vanyaṃ naivāram āhāraṃ kathaṃ sītopabhokṣyate

gītavāditranirghoṣaṃ śrutvā śubham aninditā
kathaṃ kravyādasiṃhānāṃ śabdaṃ śroṣyaty aśobhanam

mahendradhvajasaṃkāśaḥ kva nu śete mahābhujaḥ
bhujaṃ parighasaṃkāśam upadhāya mahābalaḥ

padmavarṇaṃ sukeśāntaṃ padmaniḥśvāsam uttamam
kadā drakṣyāmi rāmasya vadanaṃ puṣkarekṣaṇam

vajrasāramayaṃ nūnaṃ hṛdayaṃ me na saṃśayaḥ
apaśyantyā na taṃ yad vai phalatīdaṃ sahasradhā

yadi pañcadaśe varṣe rāghavaḥ punar eṣyati
jahyād rājyaṃ ca kośaṃ ca bharatenopabhokṣyate

evaṃ kanīyasā bhrātrā bhuktaṃ rājyaṃ viśāṃ pate
bhrātā jyeṣṭhā variṣṭhāś ca kimarthaṃ nāvamaṃsyate

na pareṇāhṛtaṃ bhakṣyaṃ vyāghraḥ khāditum icchati
evam eva naravyāghraḥ paralīḍhaṃ na maṃsyate

havir ājyaṃ puroḍāśāḥ kuśā yūpāś ca khādirāḥ
naitāni yātayāmāni kurvanti punar adhvare

tathā hy āttam idaṃ rājyaṃ hṛtasārāṃ surām iva
nābhimantum alaṃ rāmo naṣṭasomam ivādhvaram

naivaṃvidham asatkāraṃ rāghavo marṣayiṣyati
balavān iva śārdūlo bāladher abhimarśanam

sa tādṛśaḥ siṃhabalo vṛṣabhākṣo nararṣabhaḥ
svayam eva hataḥ pitrā jalajenātmajo yathā

dvijāti carito dharmaḥ śāstradṛṣṭaḥ sanātanaḥ
yadi te dharmanirate tvayā putre vivāsite

gatir evāk patir nāryā dvitīyā gatir ātmajaḥ
tṛtīyā jñātayo rājaṃś caturthī neha vidyate

tatra tvaṃ caiva me nāsti rāmaś ca vanam āśritaḥ
na vanaṃ gantum icchāmi sarvathā hi hatā tvayā

hataṃ tvayā rājyam idaṃ sarāṣṭraṃ hatas tathātmā saha mantribhiś ca
hatā saputrāsmi hatāś ca paurāḥ sutaś ca bhāryā ca tava prahṛṣṭau

imāṃ giraṃ dāruṇaśabdasaṃśritāṃ niśamya rājāpi mumoha duḥkhitaḥ
tataḥ sa śokaṃ praviveśa pārthivaḥ svaduṣkṛtaṃ cāpi punas tadāsmarat
