Ramayana · Chapter 3.011

sa praviśyāśramapadaṃ lakṣmaṇo rāghavānujaḥ
agastyaśiṣyam āsādya vākyam etad uvāca ha

rājā daśaratho nāma jyeṣṭhas tasya suto balī
rāmaḥ prāpto muniṃ draṣṭuṃ bhāryayā saha sītayā

lakṣmaṇo nāma tasyāhaṃ bhrātā tv avarajo hitaḥ
anukūlaś ca bhaktaś ca yadi te śrotram āgataḥ

te vayaṃ vanam atyugraṃ praviṣṭāḥ pitṛśāsanāt
draṣṭum icchāmahe sarve bhagavantaṃ nivedyatām

tasya tad vacanaṃ śrutvā lakṣmaṇasya tapodhanaḥ
tathety uktvāgniśaraṇaṃ praviveśa niveditum

sa praviśya muniśreṣṭhaṃ tapasā duṣpradharṣaṇam
kṛtāñjalir uvācedaṃ rāmāgamanam añjasā

putrau daśarathasyemau rāmo lakṣmaṇa eva ca
praviṣṭāv āśramapadaṃ sītayā saha bhāryayā

draṣṭuṃ bhavantam āyātau śuśrūṣārtham ariṃdamau
yad atrānantaraṃ tattvam ājñāpayitum arhasi

tataḥ śiṣyād upaśrutya prāptaṃ rāmaṃ salakṣmaṇam
vaidehīṃ ca mahābhāgām idaṃ vacanam abravīt

diṣṭyā rāmaś cirasyādya draṣṭuṃ māṃ samupāgataḥ
manasā kāṅkṣitaṃ hy asya mayāpy āgamanaṃ prati

gamyatāṃ satkṛto rāmaḥ sabhāryaḥ sahalakṣmaṇaḥ
praveśyatāṃ samīpaṃ me kiṃ cāsau na praveśitaḥ

evam uktas tu muninā dharmajñena mahātmanā
abhivādyābravīc chiṣyas tatheti niyatāñjaliḥ

kvāsau rāmo muniṃ draṣṭum etu praviśatu svayam

tato gatvāśramapadaṃ śiṣyeṇa saha lakṣmaṇaḥ
darśayām āsa kākutsthaṃ sītāṃ ca janakātmajām

taṃ śiṣyaḥ praśritaṃ vākyam agastyavacanaṃ bruvan
prāveśayad yathānyāyaṃ satkārārthaṃ susatkṛtam

praviveśa tato rāmaḥ sītayā sahalakṣmaṇaḥ
praśāntahariṇākīrṇam āśramaṃ hy avalokayan

sa tatra brahmaṇaḥ sthānam agneḥ sthānaṃ tathaiva ca
viṣṇoḥ sthānaṃ mahendrasya sthānaṃ caiva vivasvataḥ

somasthānaṃ bhagasthānaṃ sthānaṃ kauberam eva ca
dhātur vidhātuḥ sthānaṃ ca vāyoḥ sthānaṃ tathaiva ca

tataḥ śiṣyaiḥ parivṛto munir apy abhiniṣpatat
taṃ dadarśāgrato rāmo munīnāṃ dīptatejasaṃ
abravīd vacanaṃ vīro lakṣmaṇaṃ lakṣmivardhanam

eṣa lakṣmaṇa niṣkrāmaty agastyo bhagavān ṛṣiḥ
audāryeṇāvagacchāmi nidhānaṃ tapasām imam

evam uktvā mahābāhur agastyaṃ sūryavarcasaṃ
jagrāha paramaprītas tasya pādau paraṃtapaḥ

abhivādya tu dharmātmā tasthau rāmaḥ kṛtāñjaliḥ
sītayā saha vaidehyā tadā rāma salakṣmaṇaḥ

pratigṛhya ca kākutstham arcayitvāsanodakaiḥ
kuśalapraśnam uktvā ca āsyatām iti so 'bravīt

agniṃ hutvā pradāyārghyam atithiṃ pratipūjya ca
vānaprasthena dharmeṇa sa teṣāṃ bhojanaṃ dadau

prathamaṃ copaviśyātha dharmajño munipuṃgavaḥ
uvāca rāmam āsīnaṃ prāñjaliṃ dharmakovidam

anyathā khalu kākutstha tapasvī samudācaran
duḥsākṣīva pare loke svāni māṃsāni bhakṣayet

rājā sarvasya lokasya dharmacārī mahārathaḥ

idaṃ divyaṃ mahac cāpaṃ hemavajravibhūṣitam
vaiṣṇavaṃ puruṣavyāghra nirmitaṃ viśvakarmaṇā

amoghaḥ sūryasaṃkāśo brahmadattaḥ śarottamaḥ
datto mama mahendreṇa tūṇī cākṣayasāyakau

saṃpūrṇau niśitair bāṇair jvaladbhir iva pāvakaiḥ
mahārājata kośo 'yam asir hemavibhūṣitaḥ

anena dhanuṣā rāma hatvā saṃkhye mahāsurān
ājahāra śriyaṃ dīptāṃ purā viṣṇur divaukasām

tad dhanus tau ca tūṇīrau śaraṃ khaḍgaṃ ca mānada
