Ramayana · Chapter 2.077

tataḥ samutthitaḥ kālyam āsthāya syandanottamam
prayayau bharataḥ śīghraṃ rāmadarśanakāṅkṣayā

agrataḥ prayayus tasya sarve mantripurodhasaḥ
adhiruhya hayair yuktān rathān sūryarathopamān

navanāgasahasrāṇi kalpitāni yathāvidhi
anvayur bharataṃ yāntam ikṣvāku kulanandanam

ṣaṣṭhī rathasahasrāṇi dhanvino vividhāyudhāḥ
anvayur bharataṃ yāntaṃ rājaputraṃ yaśasvinam

śataṃ sahasrāṇy aśvānāṃ samārūḍhāni rāghavam
anvayur bharataṃ yāntaṃ rājaputraṃ yaśasvinam

kaikeyī ca sumitrā ca kausalyā ca yaśasvinī
rāmānayanasaṃhṛṣṭā yayur yānena bhāsvatā

prayātāś cāryasaṃghātā rāmaṃ draṣṭuṃ salakṣmaṇam
tasyaiva ca kathāś citrāḥ kurvāṇā hṛṣṭamānasāḥ

meghaśyāmaṃ mahābāhuṃ sthirasattvaṃ dṛḍhavratam
kadā drakṣyāmahe rāmaṃ jagataḥ śokanāśanam

dṛṣṭa eva hi naḥ śokam apaneṣyati rāghavaḥ
tamaḥ sarvasya lokasya samudyann iva bhāskaraḥ

ity evaṃ kathayantas te saṃprahṛṣṭāḥ kathāḥ śubhāḥ
pariṣvajānāś cānyonyaṃ yayur nāgarikās tadā

ye ca tatrāpare sarve saṃmatā ye ca naigamāḥ
rāmaṃ prati yayur hṛṣṭāḥ sarvāḥ prakṛtayas tadā

maṇi kārāś ca ye ke cit kumbhakārāś ca śobhanāḥ
sūtrakarmakṛtaś caiva ye ca śastropajīvinaḥ

māyūrakāḥ krākacikā rocakā vedhakās tathā
dantakārāḥ sudhākārās tathā gandhopajīvinaḥ

suvarṇakārāḥ prakhyātās tathā kambaladhāvakāḥ
snāpakācchādakā vaidyā dhūpakāḥ śauṇḍikās tathā

rajakās tunnavāyāś ca grāmaghoṣamahattarāḥ
śailūṣāś ca saha strībhir yānti kaivartakās tathā

samāhitā vedavido brāhmaṇā vṛttasaṃmatāḥ
gorathair bharataṃ yāntam anujagmuḥ sahasraśaḥ

suveṣāḥ śuddhavasanās tāmramṛṣṭānulepanāḥ
sarve te vividhair yānaiḥ śanair bharatam anvayuḥ

prahṛṣṭamuditā senā sānvayāt kaikayīsutam
vyavatiṣṭhata sā senā bharatasyānuyāyinī

nirīkṣyānugatāṃ senāṃ tāṃ ca gaṅgāṃ śivodakām
bharataḥ sacivān sarvān abravīd vākyakovidaḥ

niveśayata me sainyam abhiprāyeṇa sarvaśaḥ
viśrāntaḥ pratariṣyāmaḥ śva idānīṃ mahānadīm

dātuṃ ca tāvad icchāmi svar gatasya mahīpateḥ
aurdhvadeha nimittārtham avatīryodakaṃ nadīm

tasyaivaṃ bruvato 'mātyās tathety uktvā samāhitāḥ
nyaveśayaṃs tāṃś chandena svena svena pṛthakpṛthak

niveśya gaṅgām anu tāṃ mahānadīṃ camūṃ vidhānaiḥ paribarha śobhinīm
uvāsa rāmasya tadā mahātmano vicintayāno bharato nivartanam
