Ramayana · Chapter 3.026

kharaṃ tu rāmābhimukhaṃ prayāntaṃ vāhinīpatiḥ
rākṣasas triśirā nāma saṃnipatyedam abravīt

māṃ niyojaya vikrānta saṃnivartasva sāhasāt
paśya rāmaṃ mahābāhuṃ saṃyuge vinipātitam

pratijānāmi te satyam āyudhaṃ cāham ālabhe
yathā rāmaṃ vadhiṣyāmi vadhārhaṃ sarvarakṣasām

ahaṃ vāsya raṇe mṛtyur eṣa vā samare mama
vinivartya raṇotsāhaṃ muhūrtaṃ prāśniko bhava

prahṛṣṭo vā hate rāme janasthānaṃ prayāsyasi
mayi vā nihate rāmaṃ saṃyugāyopayāsyasi

kharas triśirasā tena mṛtyulobhāt prasāditaḥ
gaccha yudhyety anujñāto rāghavābhimukho yayau

triśirāś ca rathenaiva vājiyuktena bhāsvatā
abhyadravad raṇe rāmaṃ triśṛṅga iva parvataḥ

śaradhārā samūhān sa mahāmegha ivotsṛjan
vyasṛjat sadṛśaṃ nādaṃ jalārdrasyeva dundubheḥ

āgacchantaṃ triśirasaṃ rākṣasaṃ prekṣya rāghavaḥ
dhanuṣā pratijagrāha vidhunvan sāyakāñ śitān

sa saṃprahāras tumulo rāma triśirasor mahān
babhūvātīva balinoḥ siṃhakuñjarayor iva

tatas triśirasā bāṇair lalāṭe tāḍitas tribhiḥ
amarṣī kupito rāmaḥ saṃrabdham idam abravīt

aho vikramaśūrasya rākṣasasyedṛśaṃ balam
puṣpair iva śarair yasya lalāṭe 'smi parikṣataḥ
mamāpi pratigṛhṇīṣva śarāṃś cāpaguṇacyutān

evam uktvā tu saṃrabdhaḥ śarān āśīviṣopamān
triśiro vakṣasi kruddho nijaghāna caturdaśa

caturbhis turagān asya śaraiḥ saṃnataparvabhiḥ
nyapātayata tejasvī caturas tasya vājinaḥ

aṣṭabhiḥ sāyakaiḥ sūtaṃ rathopasthe nyapātayat
rāmaś ciccheda bāṇena dhvajaṃ cāsya samucchritam

tato hatarathāt tasmād utpatantaṃ niśācaram
bibheda rāmas taṃ bāṇair hṛdaye so 'bhavaj jaḍaḥ

sāyakaiś cāprameyātmā sāmarṣas tasya rakṣasaḥ
śirāṃsy apātayat trīṇi vegavadbhis tribhiḥ śataiḥ

sa bhūmau śoṇitodgārī rāmabāṇābhipīḍitaḥ
nyapatat patitaiḥ pūrvaṃ svaśirobhir niśācaraḥ

hataśeṣās tato bhagnā rākṣasāḥ kharasaṃśrayāḥ
dravanti sma na tiṣṭhanti vyāghratrastā mṛgā iva

tān kharo dravato dṛṣṭvā nivartya ruṣitaḥ svayam
rāmam evābhidudrāva rāhuś candramasaṃ yathā
