Ramayana · Chapter 4.026

abhiṣikte tu sugrīve praviṣṭe vānare guhām
ājagāma saha bhrātrā rāmaḥ prasravaṇaṃ girim

śārdūlamṛgasaṃghuṣṭaṃ siṃhair bhīmaravair vṛtam
nānāgulmalatāgūḍhaṃ bahupādapasaṃkulam

ṛkṣavānaragopucchair mārjāraiś ca niṣevitam
megharāśinibhaṃ śailaṃ nityaṃ śucijalāśrayam

tasya śailasya śikhare mahatīm āyatāṃ guhām
pratyagṛhṇata vāsārthaṃ rāmaḥ saumitriṇā saha

avasat tatra dharmātmā rāghavaḥ sahalakṣmaṇaḥ
bahudṛśyadarīkuñje tasmin prasravaṇe girau

susukhe 'pi bahudravye tasmin hi dharaṇīdhare
vasatas tasya rāmasya ratir alpāpi nābhavat
hṛtāṃ hi bhāryāṃ smarataḥ prāṇebhyo 'pi garīyasīm

udayābhyuditaṃ dṛṣṭvā śaśāṅkaṃ ca viśeṣataḥ
āviveśa na taṃ nidrā niśāsu śayanaṃ gatam

tat samutthena śokena bāṣpopahatacetasaṃ

tulyaduḥkho 'bravīd bhrātā lakṣmaṇo 'nunayan vacaḥ

alaṃ vīra vyathāṃ gatvā na tvaṃ śocitum arhasi
śocato hy avasīdanti sarvārthā viditaṃ hi te

bhavān kriyāparo loke bhavān devaparāyaṇaḥ
āstiko dharmaśīlaś ca vyavasāyī ca rāghava

na hy avyavasitaḥ śatruṃ rākṣasaṃ taṃ viśeṣataḥ
samarthas tvaṃ raṇe hantuṃ vikramair jihmakāriṇam

samunmūlaya śokaṃ tvaṃ vyavasāyaṃ sthiraṃ kuru
tataḥ saparivāraṃ taṃ nirmūlaṃ kuru rākṣasaṃ

parivartayituṃ śaktaḥ kim aṅga puna rāvaṇam

ahaṃ tu khalu te vīryaṃ prasuptaṃ pratibodhaye
dīptair āhutibhiḥ kāle bhasmac channam ivānalam

lakṣmaṇasya tu tad vākyaṃ pratipūjya hitaṃ śubham
