Ramayana · Chapter 2.063

yām eva rātriṃ te dūtāḥ praviśanti sma tāṃ purīm
bharatenāpi tāṃ rātriṃ svapno dṛṣṭo 'yam apriyaḥ

vyuṣṭām eva tu tāṃ rātriṃ dṛṣṭvā taṃ svapnam apriyam
putro rājādhirājasya subhṛśaṃ paryatapyata

tapyamānaṃ samājñāya vayasyāḥ priyavādinaḥ
āyāsaṃ hi vineṣyantaḥ sabhāyāṃ cakrire kathāḥ

vādayanti tathā śāntiṃ lāsayanty api cāpare
nāṭakāny apare prāhur hāsyāni vividhāni ca

sa tair mahātmā bharataḥ sakhibhiḥ priya vādibhiḥ
goṣṭhīhāsyāni kurvadbhir na prāhṛṣyata rāghavaḥ

tam abravīt priyasakho bharataṃ sakhibhir vṛtam
suhṛdbhiḥ paryupāsīnaḥ kiṃ sakhe nānumodase

evaṃ bruvāṇaṃ suhṛdaṃ bharataḥ pratyuvāca ha
śṛṇu tvaṃ yan nimittaṃme dainyam etad upāgatam

svapne pitaram adrākṣaṃ malinaṃ muktamūrdhajam
patantam adriśikharāt kaluṣe gomaye hrade

plavamānaś ca me dṛṣṭaḥ sa tasmin gomayahrade
pibann añjalinā tailaṃ hasann iva muhur muhuḥ

tatas tilodanaṃ bhuktvā punaḥ punar adhaḥśirāḥ
tailenābhyaktasarvāṅgas tailam evāvagāhata

svapne 'pi sāgaraṃ śuṣkaṃ candraṃ ca patitaṃ bhuvi
sahasā cāpi saṃśantaṃ jvalitaṃ jātavedasaṃ

avadīrṇāṃ ca pṛthivīṃ śuṣkāṃś ca vividhān drumān
ahaṃ paśyāmi vidhvastān sadhūmāṃś caiva pārvatān

pīṭhe kārṣṇāyase cainaṃ niṣaṇṇaṃ kṛṣṇavāsasaṃ
prahasanti sma rājānaṃ pramadāḥ kṛṣṇapiṅgalāḥ

tvaramāṇaś ca dharmātmā raktamālyānulepanaḥ
rathena kharayuktena prayāto dakṣiṇāmukhaḥ

evam etan mayā dṛṣṭam imāṃ rātriṃ bhayāvahām
ahaṃ rāmo 'tha vā rājā lakṣmaṇo vā mariṣyati

naro yānena yaḥ svapne kharayuktena yāti hi
acirāt tasya dhūmāgraṃ citāyāṃ saṃpradṛśyate
etannimittaṃ dīno 'haṃ tan na vaḥ pratipūjaye

śuṣyatīva ca me kaṇṭho na svastham iva me manaḥ
jugupsann iva cātmānaṃ na ca paśyāmi kāraṇam

imāṃ hi duḥsvapnagatiṃ niśāmya tām anekarūpām avitarkitāṃ purā
bhayaṃ mahat tad dhṛdayān na yāti me vicintya rājānam acintyadarśanam
