Ramayana · Chapter 3.004

hatvā tu taṃ bhīmabalaṃ virādhaṃ rākṣasaṃ vane
tataḥ sītāṃ pariṣvajya samāśvāsya ca vīryavān
abravīl lakṣmaṇāṃ rāmo bhrātaraṃ dīptatejasaṃ

kaṣṭaṃ vanam idaṃ durgaṃ na ca smo vanagocarāḥ
abhigacchāmahe śīghraṃ śarabhaṅgaṃ tapodhanam

āśramaṃ śarabhaṅgasya rāghavo 'bhijagāma ha

tasya devaprabhāvasya tapasā bhāvitātmanaḥ
samīpe śarabhaṅgasya dadarśa mahad adbhutam

vibhrājamānaṃ vapuṣā sūryavaiśvānaropamam
asaṃspṛśantaṃ vasudhāṃ dadarśa vibudheśvaram

suprabhābharaṇaṃ devaṃ virajo 'mbaradhāriṇam
tadvidhair eva bahubhiḥ pūjyamānaṃ mahātmabhiḥ

haribhir vājibhir yuktam antarikṣagataṃ ratham
dadarśādūratas tasya taruṇādityasaṃnibham

pāṇḍurābhraghanaprakhyaṃ candramaṇḍalasaṃnibham
apaśyad vimalaṃ chatraṃ citramālyopaśobhitam

cāmaravyajane cāgrye rukmadaṇḍe mahādhane
gṛhīte vananārībhyāṃ dhūyamāne ca mūrdhani

gandharvāmarasiddhāś ca bahavaḥ paramarṣayaḥ
antarikṣagataṃ devaṃ vāgbhir agryābhir īḍire

dṛṣṭvā śatakratuṃ tatra rāmo lakṣmaṇam abravīt
ye hayāḥ puruhūtasya purā śakrasya naḥ śrutāḥ
antarikṣagatā divyās ta ime harayo dhruvam

ime ca puruṣavyāghra ye tiṣṭhanty abhito ratham
śataṃ śataṃ kuṇḍalino yuvānaḥ khaḍgapāṇayaḥ

urodeśeṣu sarveṣāṃ hārā jvalanasaṃnibhāḥ
rūpaṃ bibhrati saumitre pañcaviṃśativārṣikam

etad dhi kila devānāṃ vayo bhavati nityadā
yatheme puruṣavyāghrā dṛśyante priyadarśanāḥ

ihaiva saha vaidehyā muhūrtaṃ tiṣṭha lakṣmaṇa
yāvaj janāmy ahaṃ vyaktaṃ ka eṣa dyutimān rathe

tam evam uktvā saumitrim ihaiva sthīyatām iti
abhicakrāma kākutsthaḥ śarabhaṅgāśramaṃ prati

tataḥ samabhigacchantaṃ prekṣya rāmaṃ śacīpatiḥ
śarabhaṅgam anujñāpya vibudhān idam abravīt

ihopayāty asau rāmo yāvan māṃ nābhibhāṣate
niṣṭhāṃ nayata tāvat tu tato māṃ draṣṭum arhati

jitavantaṃ kṛtārthaṃ ca draṣṭāham acirād imam
karma hy anena kartavyaṃ mahad anyaiḥ suduṣkaram

iti vajrī tam āmantrya mānayitvā ca tāpasaṃ
rathena hariyuktena yayau divam ariṃdamaḥ

prayāte tu sahasrākṣe rāghavaḥ saparicchadaḥ
agnihotram upāsīnaṃ śarabhaṅgam upāgamat

tasya pādau ca saṃgṛhya rāmaḥ sītā ca lakṣmaṇaḥ
niṣedus tadanujñātā labdhavāsā nimantritāḥ

tataḥ śakropayānaṃ tu paryapṛcchat sa rāghavaḥ
śarabhaṅgaś ca tat sarvaṃ rāghavāya nyavedayat

mām eṣa varado rāma brahmalokaṃ ninīṣati
jitam ugreṇa tapasā duṣprāpam akṛtātmabhiḥ

ahaṃ jñātvā naravyāghra vartamānam adūrataḥ
brahmalokaṃ na gacchāmi tvām adṛṣṭvā priyātithim

samāgamya gamiṣyāmi tridivaṃ devasevitam
akṣayā naraśārdūla jitā lokā mayā śubhāḥ
brāhmyāś ca nākapṛṣṭhyāś ca pratigṛhṇīṣva māmakān

evam ukto naravyāghraḥ sarvaśāstraviśāradaḥ
ṛṣiṇā śarabhaṅgena rāghavo vākyam abravīt

aham evāhariṣyāmi sarvāṃl lokān mahāmune
āvāsaṃ tv aham icchāmi pradiṣṭam iha kānane

rāghaveṇaivam uktas tu śakratulyabalena vai
śarabhaṅgo mahāprājñaḥ punar evābravīd vacaḥ

sutīkṣṇam abhigaccha tvaṃ śucau deśe tapasvinam
ramaṇīye vanoddeśe sa te vāsaṃ vidhāsyati

eṣa panthā naravyāghra muhūrtaṃ paśya tāta mām
yāvaj jahāmi gātrāṇi jīrṇaṃ tvacam ivoragaḥ

tato 'gniṃ sa samādhāya hutvā cājyena mantravit
śarabhaṅgo mahātejāḥ praviveśa hutāśanam

tasya romāṇi keśāṃś ca dadāhāgnir mahātmanaḥ
jīrṇaṃ tvacaṃ tathāsthīni yac ca māṃsaṃ ca śoṇitam

sa ca pāvakasaṃkāśaḥ kumāraḥ samapadyata
utthāyāgnicayāt tasmāc charabhaṅgo vyarocata

sa lokān āhitāgnīnām ṛṣīṇāṃ ca mahātmanām
devānāṃ ca vyatikramya brahmalokaṃ vyarohata

sa puṇyakarmā bhuvane dvijarṣabhaḥ pitāmahaṃ sānucaraṃ dadarśa ha
pitāmahaś cāpi samīkṣya taṃ dvijaṃ nananda susvāgatam ity uvāca ha
