Ramayana · Chapter 3.024

avaṣṭabdhadhanuṃ rāmaṃ kruddhaṃ ca ripughātinam
dadarśāśramam āgamya kharaḥ saha puraḥsaraiḥ

taṃ dṛṣṭvā saguṇaṃ cāpam udyamya kharaniḥsvanam
rāmasyābhimukhaṃ sūtaṃ codyatām ity acodayat

sa kharasyājñayā sūtas turagān samacodayat
yatra rāmo mahābāhur eko dhunvan dhanuḥ sthitaḥ

taṃ tu niṣpatitaṃ dṛṣṭvā sarve te rajanīcarāḥ
nardamānā mahānādaṃ sacivāḥ paryavārayan

sa teṣāṃ yātudhānānāṃ madhye rato gataḥ kharaḥ
babhūva madhye tārāṇāṃ lohitāṅga ivoditaḥ

tatas taṃ bhīmadhanvānaṃ kruddhāḥ sarve niśācarāḥ
rāmaṃ nānāvidhaiḥ śastrair abhyavarṣanta durjayam

mudgarair āyasaiḥ śūlaiḥ prāsaiḥ khaḍgaiḥ paraśvadhaiḥ
rākṣasāḥ samare rāmaṃ nijaghnū roṣatatparāḥ

te balāhakasaṃkāśā mahānādā mahābalāḥ
abhyadhāvanta kākutsthaṃ rāmaṃ yuddhe jighāṃsavaḥ

te rāme śaravarṣāṇi vyasṛjan rakṣasāṃ guṇāḥ
śailendram iva dhārābhir varṣamāṇā mahādhanāḥ

sa taiḥ parivṛto ghorai rāghavo rakṣasāṃ gaṇaiḥ
tithiṣv iva mahādevo vṛtaḥ pāriṣadāṃ gaṇaiḥ

tāni muktāni śastrāṇi yātudhānaiḥ sa rāghavaḥ
pratijagrāha viśikhair nadyoghān iva sāgaraḥ

sa taiḥ praharaṇair ghorair bhinnagātro na vivyathe
rāmaḥ pradīptair bahubhir vajrair iva mahācalaḥ

sa viddhaḥ kṣatajādigdhaḥ sarvagātreṣu rāghavaḥ
babhūva rāmaḥ saṃdhyābhrair divākara ivāvṛtaḥ

viṣedur devagandharvāḥ siddhāś ca paramarṣayaḥ
ekaṃ sahastrair bahubhis tadā dṛṣṭvā samāvṛtam

tato rāmaḥ susaṃkruddho maṇḍalīkṛtakārmukaḥ
sasarja niśitān bāṇāñ śataśo 'tha sahasraśaḥ

durāvārān durviṣahān kālapāśopamān raṇe
mumoca līlayā rāmaḥ kaṅkapatrān ajihmagān

te śarāḥ śatrusainyeṣu muktā rāmeṇa līlayā
ādadū rakṣasāṃ prāṇān pāśāḥ kālakṛtā iva

bhittvā rākṣasadehāṃs tāṃs te śarā rudhirāplutāḥ
antarikṣagatā rejur dīptāgnisamatejasaḥ

asaṃkhyeyās tu rāmasya sāyakāś cāpamaṇḍalāt
viniṣpetur atīvogrā rakṣaḥ prāṇāpahāriṇaḥ

tair dhanūṃṣi dhvajāgrāṇi varmāṇi ca śirāṃsi ca
bahūn sahastābharaṇān ūrūn karikaropamān

tato nālīkanārācais tīkṣṇāgraiś ca vikarṇibhiḥ
bhīmam ārtasvaraṃ cakrur bhidyamānā niśācarāḥ

tat sainyaṃ niśitair bāṇair arditaṃ marmabhedibhiḥ
rāmeṇa na sukhaṃ lebhe śuṣkaṃ vanam ivāgninā

ke cid bhīmabalāḥ śūrāḥ śūlān khaḍgān paraśvadhān
cikṣipuḥ paramakruddhā rāmāya rajanīcarāḥ

tāni bāṇair mahābāhuḥ śastrāṇy āvārya rāghavaḥ
jahāra samare prāṇāṃś ciccheda ca śirodharān

avaśiṣṭāś ca ye tatra viṣaṇṇāś ca niśācarāḥ

nivṛttās tu punaḥ sarve dūṣaṇāśrayanirbhayāḥ
rāmam evābhyadhāvanta sālatālaśilāyudhāḥ

tad babhūvādbhutaṃ yuddhaṃ tumulaṃ romaharṣaṇam
