Ramayana · Chapter 6.012

atha rāmaḥ prasannātmā śrutvā vāyusutasya ha
pratyabhāṣata durdharṣaḥ śrutavān ātmani sthitam

mamāpi tu vivakṣāsti kā cit prati vibhīṣaṇam
śrutam icchāmi tat sarvaṃ bhavadbhiḥ śreyasi sthitaiḥ

mitrabhāvena saṃprāptaṃ na tyajeyaṃ kathaṃ cana
doṣo yady api tasya syāt satām etad agarhitam

rāmasya vacanaṃ śrutvā sugrīvaḥ plavageśvaraḥ
pratyabhāṣata kākutsthaṃ sauhārdenābhicoditaḥ

kim atra citraṃ dharmajña lokanāthaśikhāmaṇe
yat tvam āryaṃ prabhāṣethāḥ sattvavān sapathe sthitaḥ

mama cāpy antarātmāyaṃ śuddhiṃ vetti vibhīṣaṇam
anumanāc ca bhāvāc ca sarvataḥ suparīkṣitaḥ

tasmāt kṣipraṃ sahāsmābhis tulyo bhavatu rāghava
vibhīṣaṇo mahāprājñaḥ sakhitvaṃ cābhyupaitu naḥ

sa sugrīvasya tad vākyaṃ rāmaḥ śrutvā vimṛśya ca
tataḥ śubhataraṃ vākyam uvāca haripuṃgavam

suduṣṭo vāpy aduṣṭo vā kim eṣa rajanīcaraḥ
sūkṣmam apy ahitaṃ kartuṃ mamāśaktaḥ kathaṃ cana

piśācān dānavān yakṣān pṛthivyāṃ caiva rākṣasān
aṅgulyagreṇa tān hanyām icchan harigaṇeśvara

śrūyate hi kapotena śatruḥ śaraṇam āgataḥ
arcitaś ca yathānyāyaṃ svaiś ca māṃsair nimantritaḥ

sa hi taṃ pratijagrāha bhāryā hartāram āgatam
kapoto vānaraśreṣṭha kiṃ punar madvidho janaḥ

ṛṣeḥ kaṇvasya putreṇa kaṇḍunā paramarṣiṇā
śṛṇu gāthāṃ purā gītāṃ dharmiṣṭhāṃ satyavādinā

baddhāñjalipuṭaṃ dīnaṃ yācantaṃ śaraṇāgatam
na hanyād ānṛśaṃsyārtham api śatruṃ paraṃ pata

ārto vā yadi vā dṛptaḥ pareṣāṃ śaraṇaṃ gataḥ
ariḥ prāṇān parityajya rakṣitavyaḥ kṛtātmanā

sa ced bhayād vā mohād vā kāmād vāpi na rakṣati
svayā śaktyā yathātattvaṃ tat pāpaṃ lokagarhitam

vinaṣṭaḥ paśyatas tasya rakṣiṇaḥ śaraṇāgataḥ
ādāya sukṛtaṃ tasya sarvaṃ gacched arakṣitaḥ

evaṃ doṣo mahān atra prapannānām arakṣaṇe
asvargyaṃ cāyaśasyaṃ ca balavīryavināśanam

kariṣyāmi yathārthaṃ tu kaṇḍor vacanam uttamam
dharmiṣṭhaṃ ca yaśasyaṃ ca svargyaṃ syāt tu phalodaye

sakṛd eva prapannāya tavāsmīti ca yācate
abhayaṃ sarvabhūtebhyo dadāmy etad vrataṃ mama

ānayainaṃ hariśreṣṭha dattam asyābhayaṃ mayā
vibhīṣaṇo vā sugrīva yadi vā rāvaṇaḥ svayam

tatas tu sugrīvavaco niśamya tad dharīśvareṇābhihitaṃ nareśvaraḥ
vibhīṣaṇenāśu jagāma saṃgamaṃ patatrirājena yathā puraṃdaraḥ
