Ramayana · Chapter 3.037

evam asmi tadā muktaḥ kathaṃ cit tena saṃyuge
idānīm api yad vṛttaṃ tac chṛṇuṣva yad uttaram

rākṣasābhyām ahaṃ dvābhyām anirviṇṇas tathā kṛtaḥ
sahito mṛgarūpābhyāṃ praviṣṭo daṇḍakāvanam

dīptajihvo mahākāyas tīkṣṇaśṛṇgo mahābalaḥ
vyacaran daṇḍakāraṇyaṃ māṃsabhakṣo mahāmṛgaḥ

agnihotreṣu tīrtheṣu caityavṛkṣeṣu rāvaṇa
atyantaghoro vyacaraṃs tāpasāṃs tān pradharṣayan

nihatya daṇḍakāraṇye tāpasān dharmacāriṇaḥ
rudhirāṇi pibaṃs teṣāṃ tathā māṃsāni bhakṣayan

ṛṣimāṃsāśanaḥ krūras trāsayan vanagocarān
tadā rudhiramatto 'haṃ vyacaraṃ daṇḍakāvanam

tadāhaṃ daṇḍakāraṇye vicaran dharmadūṣakaḥ
āsādayaṃ tadā rāmaṃ tāpasaṃ dharmam āśritam

vaidehīṃ ca mahābhāgāṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ ca mahāratham
tāpasaṃ niyatāhāraṃ sarvabhūtahite ratam

so 'haṃ vanagataṃ rāmaṃ paribhūya mahābalam
tāpaso 'yam iti jñātvā pūrvavairam anusmaran

abhyadhāvaṃ susaṃkruddhas tīkṣṇaśṛṅgo mṛgākṛtiḥ
jighāṃsur akṛtaprajñas taṃ prahāram anusmaran

tena muktās trayo bāṇāḥ śitāḥ śatrunibarhaṇāḥ
vikṛṣya balavac cāpaṃ suparṇānilatulyagāḥ

te bāṇā vajrasaṃkāśāḥ sughorā raktabhojanāḥ
ājagmuḥ sahitāḥ sarve trayaḥ saṃnataparvaṇaḥ

parākramajño rāmasya śaṭho dṛṣṭabhayaḥ purā
samutkrāntas tato muktas tāv ubhau rākṣasau hatau

śareṇa mukto rāmasya kathaṃ cit prāpya jīvitam
iha pravrājito yuktas tāpaso 'haṃ samāhitaḥ

vṛkṣe vṛkṣe hi paśyāmi cīrakṛṣṇājināmbaram
gṛhītadhanuṣaṃ rāmaṃ pāśahastam ivāntakam

api rāmasahasrāṇi bhītaḥ paśyāmi rāvaṇa
rāmabhūtam idaṃ sarvam araṇyaṃ pratibhāti me

rāmam eva hi paśyāmi rahite rākṣaseśvara
dṛṣṭvā svapnagataṃ rāmam udbhramāmi vicetanaḥ

rakārādīni nāmāni rāmatrastasya rāvaṇa
ratnāni ca rathāś caiva trāsaṃ saṃjanayanti me

ahaṃ tasya prabhāvajño na yuddhaṃ tena te kṣamam
raṇe rāmeṇa yudhyasva kṣamāṃ vā kuru rākṣasa
na te rāmakathā kāryā yadi māṃ draṣṭum icchasi

idaṃ vaco bandhuhitārthinā mayā yathocyamānaṃ yadi nābhipatsyase
sabāndhavas tyakṣyasi jīvitaṃ raṇe hato 'dya rāmeṇa śarair ajihmagaiḥ
