Ramayana · Chapter 2.076

tām āryagaṇasaṃpūrṇāṃ bharataḥ pragrahāṃ sabhām
dadarśa buddhisaṃpannaḥ pūrṇacandrāṃ niśām iva

āsanāni yathānyāyam āryāṇāṃ viśatāṃ tadā
adṛśyata ghanāpāye pūrṇacandreva śarvarī

rājñas tu prakṛtīḥ sarvāḥ samagrāḥ prekṣya dharmavit
idaṃ purohito vākyaṃ bharataṃ mṛdu cābravīt

tāta rājā daśarathaḥ svargato dharmam ācaran
dhana dhānyavatīṃ sphītāṃ pradāya pṛthivīṃ tava

rāmas tathā satyadhṛtiḥ satāṃ dharmam anusmaran
nājahāt pitur ādeśaṃ śaśī jyotsnām ivoditaḥ

pitrā bhrātrā ca te dattaṃ rājyaṃ nihatakaṇṭakam
tad bhuṅkṣva muditāmātyaḥ kṣipram evābhiṣecaya

udīcyāś ca pratīcyāś ca dākṣiṇātyāś ca kevalāḥ
koṭyāparāntāḥ sāmudrā ratnāny abhiharantu te

tac chrutvā bharato vākyaṃ śokenābhipariplutaḥ

sa bāṣpakalayā vācā kalahaṃsasvaro yuvā
vilalāpa sabhāmadhye jagarhe ca purohitam

caritabrahmacaryasya vidyā snātasya dhīmataḥ
dharme prayatamānasya ko rājyaṃ madvidho haret

kathaṃ daśarathāj jāto bhaved rājyāpahārakaḥ
rājyaṃ cāhaṃ ca rāmasya dharmaṃ vaktum ihārhasi

jyeṣṭhaḥ śreṣṭhaś ca dharmātmā dilīpanahuṣopamaḥ
labdhum arhati kākutstho rājyaṃ daśaratho yathā

anāryajuṣṭam asvargyaṃ kuryāṃ pāpam ahaṃ yadi
ikṣvākūṇām ahaṃ loke bhaveyaṃ kulapāṃsanaḥ

yad dhi mātrā kṛtaṃ pāpaṃ nāhaṃ tad abhirocaye
ihastho vanadurgasthaṃ namasyāmi kṛtāñjaliḥ

rāmam evānugacchāmi sa rājā dvipadāṃ varaḥ
trayāṇām api lokānāṃ rāghavo rājyam arhati

tad vākyaṃ dharmasaṃyuktaṃ śrutvā sarve sabhāsadaḥ

yadi tv āryaṃ na śakṣyāmi vinivartayituṃ vanāt
vane tatraiva vatsyāmi yathāryo lakṣmaṇas tathā

sarvopāyaṃ tu vartiṣye vinivartayituṃ balāt
samakṣam ārya miśrāṇāṃ sādhūnāṃ guṇavartinām

evam uktvā tu dharmātmā bharato bhrātṛvatsalaḥ
samīpastham uvācedaṃ sumantraṃ mantrakovidam

tūrṇam utthāya gaccha tvaṃ sumantra mama śāsanāt
yātrām ājñāpaya kṣipraṃ balaṃ caiva samānaya

evam uktaḥ sumantras tu bharatena mahātmanā

tāḥ prahṛṣṭāḥ prakṛtayo balādhyakṣā balasya ca
