Ramayana · Chapter 2.097

taṃ tu rāmaḥ samāśvāsya bhrātaraṃ guruvatsalam
lakṣmaṇena saha bhrātrā praṣṭuṃ samupacakrame

kim etad iccheyam ahaṃ śrotuṃ pravyāhṛtaṃ tvayā
yasmāt tvam āgato deśam imaṃ cīrajaṭājinī

yannimittam imaṃ deśaṃ kṛṣṇājinajaṭādharaḥ
hitvā rājyaṃ praviṣṭas tvaṃ tat sarvaṃ vaktum arhasi

ity uktaḥ kekayīputraḥ kākutsthena mahātmanā
pragṛhya balavad bhūyaḥ prāñjalir vākyam abravīt

āryaṃ tātaḥ parityajya kṛtvā karma suduṣkaram
gataḥ svargaṃ mahābāhuḥ putraśokābhipīḍitaḥ

striyā niyuktaḥ kaikeyyā mama mātrā paraṃtapa
cakāra sumahat pāpam idam ātmayaśoharam

sā rājyaphalam aprāpya vidhavā śokakarśitā
patiṣyati mahāghore niraye jananī mama

tasya me dāsabhūtasya prasādaṃ kartum arhasi
abhiṣiñcasva cādyaiva rājyena maghavān iva

imāḥ prakṛtayaḥ sarvā vidhavā māturaś ca yāḥ
tvat sakāśam anuprāptāḥ prasādaṃ kartum arhasi

tadānupūrvyā yuktaṃ ca yuktaṃ cātmani mānada
rājyaṃ prāpnuhi dharmeṇa sakāmān suhṛdaḥ kuru

bhavatv avidhavā bhūmiḥ samagrā patinā tvayā
śaśinā vimaleneva śāradī rajanī yathā

ebhiś ca sacivaiḥ sārdhaṃ śirasā yācito mayā
bhrātuḥ śiṣyasya dāsasya prasādaṃ kartum arhasi

tad idaṃ śāśvataṃ pitryaṃ sarvaṃ sacivamaṇḍalam
pūjitaṃ puruṣavyāghra nātikramitum utsahe

evam uktvā mahābāhuḥ sabāṣpaḥ kekayīsutaḥ
rāmasya śirasā pādau jagrāha bharataḥ punaḥ

taṃ mattam iva mātaṅgaṃ niḥśvasantaṃ punaḥ punaḥ
bhrātaraṃ bharataṃ rāmaḥ pariṣvajyedam abravīt

kulīnaḥ sattvasaṃpannas tejasvī caritavrataḥ
rājyahetoḥ kathaṃ pāpam ācaret tvadvidho janaḥ

na doṣaṃ tvayi paśyāmi sūkṣmam apy ari sūdana
na cāpi jananīṃ bālyāt tvaṃ vigarhitum arhasi

yāvat pitari dharmajña gauravaṃ lokasatkṛte
tāvad dharmabhṛtāṃ śreṣṭha jananyām api gauravam

etābhyāṃ dharmaśīlābhyāṃ vanaṃ gaccheti rāghava
mātā pitṛbhyām ukto 'haṃ katham anyat samācare

tvayā rājyam ayodhyāyāṃ prāptavyaṃ lokasatkṛtam
vastavyaṃ daṇḍakāraṇye mayā valkalavāsasā

evaṃ kṛtvā mahārājo vibhāgaṃ lokasaṃnidhau
vyādiśya ca mahātejā divaṃ daśaratho gataḥ

sa ca pramāṇaṃ dharmātmā rājā lokagurus tava
pitrā dattaṃ yathābhāgam upabhoktuṃ tvam arhasi

caturdaśa samāḥ saumya daṇḍakāraṇyam āśritaḥ
upabhokṣye tv ahaṃ dattaṃ bhāgaṃ pitrā mahātmanā

yad abravīn māṃ naralokasatkṛtaḥ pitā mahātmā vibudhādhipopamaḥ
tad eva manye paramātmano hitaṃ na sarvalokeśvarabhāvam avyayam
