Ramayana · Chapter 2.089

atha śailād viniṣkramya maithilīṃ kosaleśvaraḥ
adarśayac chubhajalāṃ ramyāṃ mandākinīṃ nadīm

abravīc ca varārohāṃ cārucandranibhānanām
videharājasya sutāṃ rāmo rājīvalocanaḥ

vicitrapulināṃ ramyāṃ haṃsasārasasevitām
kusumair upasaṃpannāṃ paśya mandākinīṃ nadīm

nānāvidhais tīraruhair vṛtāṃ puṣpaphaladrumaiḥ
rājantīṃ rājarājasya nalinīm iva sarvataḥ

mṛgayūthanipītāni kaluṣāmbhāṃsi sāmpratam
tīrthāni ramaṇīyāni ratiṃ saṃjanayanti me

jaṭājinadharāḥ kāle valkalottaravāsasaḥ
ṛṣayas tv avagāhante nadīṃ mandākinīṃ priye

ādityam upatiṣṭhante niyamād ūrdhvabāhavaḥ
ete 'pare viśālākṣi munayaḥ saṃśitavratāḥ

mārutoddhūta śikharaiḥ pranṛtta iva parvataḥ
pādapaiḥ patrapuṣpāṇi sṛjadbhir abhito nadīm

kaccin maṇinikāśodāṃ kaccit pulinaśālinīm

nirdhūtān vāyunā paśya vitatān puṣpasaṃcayān
poplūyamānān aparān paśya tvaṃ jalamadhyagān

tāṃś cātivalgu vacaso rathāṅgāhvayanā dvijāḥ
adhirohanti kalyāṇi niṣkūjantaḥ śubhā giraḥ

darśanaṃ citrakūṭasya mandākinyāś ca śobhane
adhikaṃ puravāsāc ca manye ca tava darśanāt

vidhūtakaluṣaiḥ siddhais tapodamaśamānvitaiḥ

sakhīvac ca vigāhasva sīte mandakinīm imām
kamalāny avamajjantī puṣkarāṇi ca bhāmini

tvaṃ paurajanavad vyālān ayodhyām iva parvatam
manyasva vanite nityaṃ sarayūvad imāṃ nadīm

lakṣmaṇaś caiva dharmātmā mannideśe vyavasthitaḥ
