Ramayana · Chapter 2.071

tato daśāhe 'tigate kṛtaśauco nṛpātmajaḥ
dvādaśe 'hani saṃprāpte śrāddhakarmāṇy akārayat

brāhmaṇebhyo dadau ratnaṃ dhanam annaṃ ca puṣkalam
bāstikaṃ bahuśuklaṃ ca gāś cāpi śataśas tathā

dāsīdāsaṃ ca yānaṃ ca veśmāni sumahānti ca
brāhmaṇebhyo dadau putro rājñas tasyaurdhvadaihikam

tataḥ prabhātasamaye divase 'tha trayodaśe
vilalāpa mahābāhur bharataḥ śokamūrchitaḥ

citāmūle pitur vākyam idam āha suduḥkhitaḥ

tāta yasmin niṣṛṣṭo 'haṃ tvayā bhrātari rāghave
tasmin vanaṃ pravrajite śūnye tyakto 'smy ahaṃ tvayā

yathāgatir anāthāyāḥ putraḥ pravrājito vanam
tām ambāṃ tāta kausalyāṃ tyaktvā tvaṃ kva gato nṛpa

dṛṣṭvā bhasmāruṇaṃ tac ca dagdhāsthisthānamaṇḍalam
pituḥ śarīra nirvāṇaṃ niṣṭanan viṣasāda ha

sa tu dṛṣṭvā rudan dīnaḥ papāta dharaṇītale
utthāpyamānaḥ śakrasya yantra dhvaja iva cyutaḥ

abhipetus tataḥ sarve tasyāmātyāḥ śucivratam
antakāle nipatitaṃ yayātim ṛṣayo yathā

śatrughnaś cāpi bharataṃ dṛṣṭvā śokapariplutam
visaṃjño nyapatad bhūmau bhūmipālam anusmaran

unmatta iva niścetā vilalāpa suduḥkhitaḥ
smṛtvā pitur guṇāṅgāni tāni tāni tadā tadā

mantharā prabhavas tīvraḥ kaikeyīgrāhasaṃkulaḥ
varadānamayo 'kṣobhyo 'majjayac chokasāgaraḥ

sukumāraṃ ca bālaṃ ca satataṃ lālitaṃ tvayā
kva tāta bharataṃ hitvā vilapantaṃ gato bhavān

nanu bhojyeṣu pāneṣu vastreṣv ābharaṇeṣu ca
pravārayasi naḥ sarvāṃs tan naḥ ko 'dya kariṣyati

avadāraṇa kāle tu pṛthivī nāvadīryate
vihīnā yā tvayā rājñā dharmajñena mahātmanā

pitari svargam āpanne rāme cāraṇyam āśrite
kiṃ me jīvita sāmarthyaṃ pravekṣyāmi hutāśanam

hīno bhrātrā ca pitrā ca śūnyām ikṣvākupālitām
ayodhyāṃ na pravekṣyāmi pravekṣyāmi tapovanam

tayor vilapitaṃ śrutvā vyasanaṃ cānvavekṣya tat

tato viṣaṇṇau śrāntau ca śatrughnabharatāv ubhau
dharaṇyāṃ saṃvyaceṣṭetāṃ bhagnaśṛṅgāv ivarṣabhau

tataḥ prakṛtimān vaidyaḥ pitur eṣāṃ purohitaḥ
vasiṣṭho bharataṃ vākyam utthāpya tam uvāca ha
