Ramayana · Chapter 4.061

evam uktvā muniśreṣṭham arudaṃ duḥkhito bhṛśam
atha dhyātvā muhūrtaṃ tu bhagavān idam abravīt

pakṣau ca te prapakṣau ca punar anyau bhaviṣyataḥ
cakṣuṣī caiva prāṇāś ca vikramaś ca balaṃ ca te

purāṇe sumahat kāryaṃ bhaviṣyaṃ hi mayā śrutam
dṛṣṭaṃ me tapasā caiva śrutvā ca viditaṃ mama

rājā daśaratho nāma kaś cid ikṣvākunandanaḥ
tasya putro mahātejā rāmo nāma bhaviṣyati

araṇyaṃ ca saha bhrātrā lakṣmaṇena gamiṣyati
tasminn arthe niyuktaḥ san pitrā satyaparākramaḥ

nairṛto rāvaṇo nāma tasyā bhāryāṃ hariṣyati
rākṣasendro janasthānād avadhyaḥ suradānavaiḥ

sā ca kāmaiḥ pralobhyantī bhakṣyair bhojyaiś ca maithilī
na bhokṣyati mahābhāgā duḥkhamagnā yaśasvinī

paramānnaṃ tu vaidehyā jñātvā dāsyati vāsavaḥ
yad annam amṛtaprakhyaṃ surāṇām api durlabham

tad annaṃ maithilī prāpya vijñāyendrād idaṃ tv iti
agram uddhṛtya rāmāya bhūtale nirvapiṣyati

yadi jīvati me bhartā lakṣmaṇena saha prabhuḥ
devatvaṃ gatayor vāpi tayor annam idaṃ tv iti

eṣyanty anveṣakās tasyā rāmadūtāḥ plavaṃgamāḥ
ākhyeyā rāmamahiṣī tvayā tebhyo vihaṃgama

sarvathā tu na gantavyam īdṛśaḥ kva gamiṣyasi
deśakālau pratīkṣasva pakṣau tvaṃ pratipatsyase

utsaheyam ahaṃ kartum adyaiva tvāṃ sapakṣakam
ihasthas tvaṃ tu lokānāṃ hitaṃ kāryaṃ kariṣyasi

tvayāpi khalu tat kāryaṃ tayoś ca nṛpaputrayoḥ
brāhmaṇānāṃ surāṇāṃ ca munīnāṃ vāsavasya ca

icchāmy aham api draṣṭuṃ bhrātaru rāmalakṣmaṇau
necche ciraṃ dhārayituṃ prāṇāṃs tyakṣye kalevaram
