Ramayana · Chapter 3.006

rāmas tu sahito bhrātrā sītayā ca paraṃtapaḥ
sutīkṣṇasyāśramapadaṃ jagāma saha tair dvijaiḥ

sa gatvā dūram adhvānaṃ nadīs tīrtva bahūdakāḥ
dadarśa vipulaṃ śailaṃ mahāmegham ivonnatam

tatas tad ikṣvākuvarau satataṃ vividhair drumaiḥ
kānanaṃ tau viviśatuḥ sītayā saha rāghavau

praviṣṭas tu vanaṃ ghoraṃ bahupuṣpaphaladrumam
dadarśāśramam ekānte cīramālāpariṣkṛtam

tatra tāpasam āsīnaṃ malapaṅkajaṭādharam
rāmaḥ sutīkṣṇaṃ vidhivat tapovṛddham abhāṣata

rāmo 'ham asmi bhagavan bhavantaṃ draṣṭum āgataḥ
tan mābhivada dharmajña maharṣe satyavikrama

sa nirīkṣya tato vīraṃ rāmaṃ dharmabhṛtāṃ varam
samāśliṣya ca bāhubhyām idaṃ vacanam abravīt

svāgataṃ khalu te vīra rāma dharmabhṛtāṃ vara
āśramo 'yaṃ tvayākrāntaḥ sanātha iva sāmpratam

pratīkṣamāṇas tvām eva nārohe 'haṃ mahāyaśaḥ
devalokam ito vīra dehaṃ tyaktvā mahītale

citrakūṭam upādāya rājyabhraṣṭo 'si me śrutaḥ
ihopayātaḥ kākutstho devarājaḥ śatakratuḥ
sarvāṃl lokāñ jitān āha mama puṇyena karmaṇā

teṣu devarṣijuṣṭeṣu jiteṣu tapasā mayā
matprasādāt sabhāryas tvaṃ viharasva salakṣmaṇaḥ

tam ugratapasaṃ dīptaṃ maharṣiṃ satyavādinam
pratyuvācātmavān rāmo brahmāṇam iva vāsavaḥ

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

bhavān sarvatra kuśalaḥ sarvabhūtahite rataḥ
ākhyātaḥ śarabhaṅgena gautamena mahātmanā

evam uktas tu rāmeṇa maharṣir lokaviśrutaḥ
abravīn madhuraṃ vākyaṃ harṣeṇa mahatāplutaḥ

ayam evāśramo rāma guṇavān ramyatām iha
ṛṣisaṃghānucaritaḥ sadā mūlaphalair yutaḥ

imam āśramam āgamya mṛgasaṃghā mahāyaśāḥ
aṭitvā pratigacchanti lobhayitvākutobhayāḥ

tac chrutvā vacanaṃ tasya maharṣer lakṣmaṇāgrajaḥ
uvāca vacanaṃ dhīro vikṛṣya saśaraṃ dhanuḥ

tān ahaṃ sumahābhāga mṛgasaṃghān samāgatān
hanyāṃ niśitadhāreṇa śareṇāśanivarcasā

bhavāṃs tatrābhiṣajyeta kiṃ syāt kṛcchrataraṃ tataḥ
etasminn āśrame vāsaṃ ciraṃ tu na samarthaye

tam evam uktvā varadaṃ rāmaḥ saṃdhyām upāgamat
anvāsya paścimāṃ saṃdhyāṃ tatra vāsam akalpayat

tataḥ śubhaṃ tāpasabhojyam annaṃ svayaṃ sutīkṣṇaḥ puruṣarṣabhābhyām
tābhyāṃ susatkṛtya dadau mahātmā saṃdhyānivṛttau rajanīṃ samīkṣya
