Ramayana · Chapter 3.051

kham utpatantaṃ taṃ dṛṣṭvā maithilī janakātmajā
duḥkhitā paramodvignā bhaye mahati vartinī

roṣarodanatāmrākṣī bhīmākṣaṃ rākṣasādhipam
rudatī karuṇaṃ sītā hriyamāṇedam abravīt

na vyapatrapase nīca karmaṇānena rāvaṇa
jñātvā virahitāṃ yo māṃ corayitvā palāyase

tvayaiva nūnaṃ duṣṭātman bhīruṇā hartum icchatā
mamāpavāhito bhartā mṛgarūpeṇa māyayā
yo hi mām udyatas trātuṃ so 'py ayaṃ vinipātitaḥ

paramaṃ khalu te vīryaṃ dṛśyate rākṣasādhama
viśrāvya nāmadheyaṃ hi yuddhe nāsti jitā tvayā

īdṛśaṃ garhitaṃ karma kathaṃ kṛtvā na lajjase
striyāś ca haraṇaṃ nīca rahite ca parasya ca

kathayiṣyanti lokeṣu puruṣāḥ karma kutsitam
sunṛśaṃsam adharmiṣṭhaṃ tava śauṇḍīryamāninaḥ

dhik te śauryaṃ ca sattvaṃ ca yat tvayā kathitaṃ tadā
kulākrośakaraṃ loke dhik te cāritram īdṛśam

kiṃ śakyaṃ kartum evaṃ hi yaj javenaiva dhāvasi
muhūrtam api tiṣṭhasva na jīvan pratiyāsyasi

na hi cakṣuḥpathaṃ prāpya tayoḥ pārthivaputrayoḥ
sasainyo 'pi samartaḥs tvaṃ muhūrtam api jīvitum

na tvaṃ tayoḥ śarasparśaṃ soḍhuṃ śaktaḥ kathaṃ cana
vane prajvalitasyeva sparśam agner vihaṃgamaḥ

sādhu kṛtvātmanaḥ pathyaṃ sādhu māṃ muñca rāvaṇa
matpradharṣaṇaruṣṭo hi bhrātrā saha patir mama
vidhāsyati vināśāya tvaṃ māṃ yadi na muñcasi

yena tvaṃ vyavasāyena balān māṃ hartum icchasi
vyavasāyaḥ sa te nīca bhaviṣyati nirarthakaḥ

na hy ahaṃ tam apaśyantī bhartāraṃ vibudhopamam
utsahe śatruvaśagā prāṇān dhārayituṃ ciram

na nūnaṃ cātmanaḥ śreyaḥ pathyaṃ vā samavekṣase
mṛtyukāle yathā martyo viparītāni sevate

mumūrṣūṇāṃ hi sarveṣāṃ yat pathyaṃ tan na rocate
paśyāmīva hi kaṇṭhe tvāṃ kālapāśāvapāśitam

yathā cāsmin bhayasthāne na bibheṣe daśānana
vyaktaṃ hiraṇmayān hi tvaṃ saṃpaśyasi mahīruhān

nadīṃ vairataṇīṃ ghorāṃ rudhiraughanivāhinīm
khaḍgapatravanaṃ caiva bhīmaṃ paśyasi rāvaṇa

taptakāñcanapuṣpāṃ ca vaidūryapravaracchadām
drakṣyase śālmalīṃ tīkṣṇām āyasaiḥ kaṇṭakaiś citām

na hi tvam īdṛśaṃ kṛtvā tasyālīkaṃ mahātmanaḥ
dhārituṃ śakṣyasi ciraṃ viṣaṃ pītveva nirghṛṇaḥ

baddhas tvaṃ kālapāśena durnivāreṇa rāvaṇa
kva gato lapsyase śarma bhartur mama mahātmanaḥ

nimeṣāntaramātreṇa vinā bhrātaram āhave
rākṣasā nihatā yena sahasrāṇi caturdaśa

sa kathaṃ rāghavo vīraḥ sarvāstrakuśalo balī
na tvāṃ hanyāc charais tīkṣṇair iṣṭabhāryāpahāriṇam

etac cānyac ca paruṣaṃ vaidehī rāvaṇāṅkagā
bhayaśokasamāviṣṭā karuṇaṃ vilalāpa ha

tathā bhṛśārtāṃ bahu caiva bhāṣiṇīṃ vilalāpa pūrvaṃ karuṇaṃ ca bhāminīm
jahāra pāpas taruṇīṃ viveṣṭatīṃ nṛpātmajām āgatagātravepathum
