Ramayana · Chapter 2.057

pratibuddho muhur tena śokopahatacetanaḥ
atha rājā daśarathaḥ sa cintām abhyapadyata

rāmalakṣmaṇayoś caiva vivāsād vāsavopamam
āviveśopasargas taṃ tamaḥ sūryam ivāsuram

sa rājā rajanīṃ ṣaṣṭhīṃ rāme pravrajite vanam
ardharātre daśarathaḥ saṃsmaran duṣkṛtaṃ kṛtam
kausalyāṃ putraśokārtām idaṃ vacanam abravīt

yad ācarati kalyāṇi śubhaṃ vā yadi vāśubham
tad eva labhate bhadre kartā karmajam ātmanaḥ

guru lāghavam arthānām ārambhe karmaṇāṃ phalam
doṣaṃ vā yo na jānāti sa bāla iti hocyate

kaś cid āmravaṇaṃ chittvā palāśāṃś ca niṣiñcati
puṣpaṃ dṛṣṭvā phale gṛdhnuḥ sa śocati phalāgame

so 'ham āmravaṇaṃ chittvā palāśāṃś ca nyaṣecayam
rāmaṃ phalāgame tyaktvā paścāc chocāmi durmatiḥ

labdhaśabdena kausalye kumāreṇa dhanuṣmatā
kumāraḥ śabdavedhīti mayā pāpam idaṃ kṛtam
tad idaṃ me 'nusaṃprāptaṃ devi duḥkhaṃ svayaṃ kṛtam

saṃmohād iha bālena yathā syād bhakṣitaṃ viṣam
evaṃ mamāpy avijñātaṃ śabdavedhyamayaṃ phalam

devy anūḍhā tvam abhavo yuvarājo bhavāmy aham
tataḥ prāvṛḍ anuprāptā madakāmavivardhinī

upāsyahi rasān bhaumāṃs taptvā ca jagad aṃśubhiḥ
paretācaritāṃ bhīmāṃ ravir āviśate diśam

uṣṇam antardadhe sadyaḥ snigdhā dadṛśire ghanāḥ
tato jahṛṣire sarve bhekasāraṅgabarhiṇaḥ

patitenāmbhasā channaḥ patamānena cāsakṛt
ābabhau mattasāraṅgas toyarāśir ivācalaḥ

tasminn atisukhe kāle dhanuṣmān iṣumān rathī
vyāyāma kṛtasaṃkalpaḥ sarayūm anvagāṃ nadīm

nipāne mahiṣaṃ rātrau gajaṃ vābhyāgataṃ nadīm
anyaṃ vā śvāpadaṃ kaṃ cij jighāṃsur ajitendriyaḥ

athāndhakāre tv aśrauṣaṃ jale kumbhasya paryataḥ
acakṣur viṣaye ghoṣaṃ vāraṇasyeva nardataḥ

tato 'haṃ śaram uddhṛtya dīptam āśīviṣopamam
amuñcaṃ niśitaṃ bāṇam aham āśīviṣopamam

tatra vāg uṣasi vyaktā prādurāsīd vanaukasaḥ
hā heti patatas toye vāg abhūt tatra mānuṣī
katham asmadvidhe śastraṃ nipatet tu tapasvini

praviviktāṃ nadīṃ rātrāv udāhāro 'ham āgataḥ
iṣuṇābhihataḥ kena kasya vā kiṃ kṛtaṃ mayā

ṛṣer hi nyasta daṇḍasya vane vanyena jīvataḥ
kathaṃ nu śastreṇa vadho madvidhasya vidhīyate

jaṭābhāradharasyaiva valkalājinavāsasaḥ
ko vadhena mamārthī syāt kiṃ vāsyāpakṛtaṃ mayā

evaṃ niṣphalam ārabdhaṃ kevalānarthasaṃhitam
na kaś cit sādhu manyeta yathaiva gurutalpagam

nemaṃ tathānuśocāmi jīvitakṣayam ātmanaḥ
mātaraṃ pitaraṃ cobhāv anuśocāmi madvidhe

tad etān mithunaṃ vṛddhaṃ cirakālabhṛtaṃ mayā
mayi pañcatvam āpanne kāṃ vṛttiṃ vartayiṣyati

vṛddhau ca mātāpitarāv ahaṃ caikeṣuṇā hataḥ
kena sma nihatāḥ sarve subālenākṛtātmanā

taṃ giraṃ karuṇāṃ śrutvā mama dharmānukāṅkṣiṇaḥ
karābhyāṃ saśaraṃ cāpaṃ vyathitasyāpatad bhuvi

taṃ deśam aham āgamya dīnasattvaḥ sudurmanāḥ
apaśyam iṣuṇā tīre sarayvās tāpasaṃ hatam

sa mām udvīkṣya netrābhyāṃ trastam asvasthacetasaṃ
ity uvāca vacaḥ krūraṃ didhakṣann iva tejasā

kiṃ tavāpakṛtaṃ rājan vane nivasatā mayā
jihīrṣur ambho gurvarthaṃ yad ahaṃ tāḍitas tvayā

ekena khalu bāṇena marmaṇy abhihate mayi
dvāv andhau nihatau vṛddhau mātā janayitā ca me

tau nūnaṃ durbalāv andhau matpratīkṣau pipāsitau
ciram āśākṛtāṃ tṛṣṇāṃ kaṣṭāṃ saṃdhārayiṣyataḥ

na nūnaṃ tapaso vāsti phalayogaḥ śrutasya vā
pitā yan māṃ na jānāti śayānaṃ patitaṃ bhuvi

jānann api ca kiṃ kuryād aśaktir aparikramaḥ
bhidyamānam ivāśaktas trātum anyo nago nagam

pitus tvam eva me gatvā śīghram ācakṣva rāghava
na tvām anudahet kruddho vanaṃ vahnir ivaidhitaḥ

iyam ekapadī rājan yato me pitur āśramaḥ
taṃ prasādaya gatvā tvaṃ na tvāṃ sa kupitaḥ śapet

viśalyaṃ kuru māṃ rājan marma me niśitaḥ śaraḥ
ruṇaddhi mṛdu sotsedhaṃ tīram amburayo yathā

na dvijātir ahaṃ rājan mā bhūt te manaso vyathā
śūdrāyām asmi vaiśyena jāto janapadādhipa

itīva vadataḥ kṛcchrād bāṇābhihatamarmaṇaḥ
tasya tv ānamyamānasya taṃ bāṇam aham uddharam

jalārdragātraṃ tu vilapya kṛcchān marmavraṇaṃ saṃtatam ucchasantam
tataḥ sarayvāṃ tam ahaṃ śayānaṃ samīkṣya bhadre subhṛśaṃ viṣaṇṇaḥ
