Ramayana · Chapter 3.001

praviśya tu mahāraṇyaṃ daṇḍakāraṇyam ātmavān
dadarśa rāmo durdharṣas tāpasāśramamaṇḍalam

kuśacīraparikṣiptaṃ brāhmyā lakṣmyā samāvṛtam
yathā pradīptaṃ durdharśaṃ gagane sūryamaṇḍalam

śaraṇyaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ susamṛṣṭājiraṃ sadā
pūjitaṃ copanṛttaṃ ca nityam apsarasāṃ gaṇaiḥ

viśālair agniśaraṇaiḥ srugbhāṇḍair ajinaiḥ kuśaiḥ
samidbhis toyakalaśaiḥ phalamūlaiś ca śobhitam

āraṇyaiś ca mahāvṛkṣaiḥ puṇyaiḥ svāduphalair vṛtam
balihomārcitaṃ puṇyaṃ brahmaghoṣanināditam

puṣpair vanyaiḥ parikṣiptaṃ padminyā ca sapadmayā
phalamūlāśanair dāntaiś cīrakṛṣṇājināmbaraiḥ

sūryavaiśvānarābhaiś ca purāṇair munibhir vṛtam
puṇyaiś a niyatāhāraiḥ śobhitaṃ paramarṣibhiḥ

tad brahmabhavanaprakhyaṃ brahmaghoṣanināditam
brahmavidbhir mahābhāgair brāhmaṇair upaśobhitam

tad dṛṣṭvā rāghavaḥ śrīmāṃs tāpasāśramamaṇḍalam
abhyagacchan mahātejā vijyaṃ kṛtvā mahad dhanuḥ

divyajñānopapannās te rāmaṃ dṛṣṭvā maharṣayaḥ
abhyagacchaṃs tadā prītā vaidehīṃ ca yaśasvinīm

te taṃ somam ivodyantaṃ dṛṣṭvā vai dharmacāriṇaḥ
maṅgalāni prayuñjānāḥ pratyagṛhṇan dṛḍhavratāḥ

rūpasaṃhananaṃ lakṣmīṃ saukumāryaṃ suveṣatām
dadṛśur vismitākārā rāmasya vanavāsinaḥ

vaidehīṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ rāmaṃ netrair animiṣair iva
āścaryabhūtān dadṛśuḥ sarve te vanacāriṇaḥ

atrainaṃ hi mahābhāgāḥ sarvabhūtahite ratāḥ
atithiṃ parṇaśālāyāṃ rāghavaṃ saṃnyaveśayan

tato rāmasya satkṛtya vidhinā pāvakopamāḥ
ājahrus te mahābhāgāḥ salilaṃ dharmacāriṇaḥ

mūlaṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ vanyam āśramaṃ ca mahātmanaḥ
nivedayītvā dharmajñās tataḥ prāñjalayo 'bruvan

dharmapālo janasyāsya śaraṇyaś ca mahāyaśāḥ
pūjanīyaś ca mānyaś ca rājā daṇḍadharo guruḥ

indrasyaiva caturbhāgaḥ prajā rakṣati rāghava
rājā tasmād vanān bhogān bhuṅkte lokanamaskṛtaḥ

te vayaṃ bhavatā rakṣyā bhavadviṣayavāsinaḥ
nagarastho vanastho vā tvaṃ no rājā janeśvaraḥ

nyastadaṇḍā vayaṃ rājañ jitakrodhā jitendriyāḥ
rakṣitavyās tvayā śaśvad garbhabhūtās tapodhanāḥ

evam uktvā phalair mūlaiḥ puṣpair vanyaiś ca rāghavam
anyaiś ca vividhāhāraiḥ salakṣmaṇam apūjayan

tathānye tāpasāḥ siddhā rāmaṃ vaiśvānaropamāḥ
nyāyavṛttā yathānyāyaṃ tarpayām āsur īśvaram
