Ramayana · Chapter 6.015

tato madhyāt samudrasya sāgaraḥ svayam utthitaḥ
udayan hi mahāśailān meror iva divākaraḥ
pannagaiḥ saha dīptāsyaiḥ samudraḥ pratyadṛśyata

snigdhavaidūryasaṃkāśo jāmbūnadavibhūṣitaḥ
raktamālyāmbaradharaḥ padmapatranibhekṣaṇaḥ

sāgaraḥ samatikramya pūrvam āmantrya vīryavān
abravīt prāñjalir vākyaṃ rāghavaṃ śarapāṇinam

pṛthivī vāyur ākāśam āpo jyotiś ca rāghavaḥ
svabhāve saumya tiṣṭhanti śāśvataṃ mārgam āśritāḥ

tat svabhāvo mamāpy eṣa yad agādho 'ham aplavaḥ
vikāras tu bhaved rādha etat te pravadāmy aham

na kāmān na ca lobhād vā na bhayāt pārthivātmaja
grāhanakrākulajalaṃ stambhayeyaṃ kathaṃ cana

vidhāsye rāma yenāpi viṣahiṣye hy ahaṃ tathā
grāhā na prahariṣyanti yāvat senā tariṣyati

ayaṃ saumya nalo nāma tanujo viśvakarmaṇaḥ
pitrā dattavaraḥ śrīmān pratimo viśvakarmaṇaḥ

eṣa setuṃ mahotsāhaḥ karotu mayi vānaraḥ
tam ahaṃ dhārayiṣyāmi tathā hy eṣa yathā pitā

evam uktvodadhir naṣṭaḥ samutthāya nalas tataḥ
abravīd vānaraśreṣṭho vākyaṃ rāmaṃ mahābalaḥ

ahaṃ setuṃ kariṣyāmi vistīrṇe varuṇālaye
pituḥ sāmarthyam āsthāya tattvam āha mahodadhiḥ

mama mātur varo datto mandare viśvakarmaṇā
aurasas tasya putro 'haṃ sadṛśo viśvakarmaṇā

na cāpy aham anukto vai prabrūyām ātmano guṇān
kāmam adyaiva badhnantu setuṃ vānarapuṃgavāḥ

tato nisṛṣṭarāmeṇa sarvato hariyūthapāḥ
abhipetur mahāraṇyaṃ hṛṣṭāḥ śatasahasraśaḥ

te nagān nagasaṃkāśāḥ śākhāmṛgagaṇarṣabhāḥ
babhañjur vānarās tatra pracakarṣuś ca sāgaram

te sālaiś cāśvakarṇaiś ca dhavair vaṃśaiś ca vānarāḥ
kuṭajair arjunais tālais tikalais timiśair api

bilvakaiḥ saptaparṇaiś ca karṇikāraiś ca puṣpitaiḥ
cūtaiś cāśokavṛkṣaiś ca sāgaraṃ samapūrayan

samūlāṃś ca vimūlāṃś ca pādapān harisattamāḥ
indraketūn ivodyamya prajahrur harayas tarūn

prakṣipyamāṇair acalaiḥ sahasā jalam uddhatam
samutpatitam ākāśam apāsarpat tatas tataḥ

daśayojanavistīrṇaṃ śatayojanam āyatam
nalaś cakre mahāsetuṃ madhye nadanadīpateḥ

śilānāṃ kṣipyamāṇānāṃ śailānāṃ tatra pātyatām
babhūva tumulaḥ śabdas tadā tasmin mahodadhau

sa nalena kṛtaḥ setuḥ sāgare makarālaye
śuśubhe subhagaḥ śrīmān svātīpatha ivāmbare

tato devāḥ sagandharvāḥ siddhāś ca paramarṣayaḥ

āplavantaḥ plavantaś ca garjantaś ca plavaṃgamāḥ
tam acintyam asahyaṃ ca adbhutaṃ lomaharṣaṇam
dadṛśuḥ sarvabhūtāni sāgare setubandhanam

tāni koṭisahasrāṇi vānarāṇāṃ mahaujasām
badhnantaḥ sāgare setuṃ jagmuḥ pāraṃ mahodadheḥ

viśālaḥ sukṛtaḥ śrīmān subhūmiḥ susamāhitaḥ
aśobhata mahāsetuḥ sīmanta iva sāgare

tataḥ pare samudrasya gadāpāṇir vibhīṣaṇaḥ
pareṣām abhighatārtham atiṣṭhat sacivaiḥ saha

agratas tasya sainyasya śrīmān rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ
jagāma dhanvī dharmātmā sugrīveṇa samanvitaḥ

anye madhyena gacchanti pārśvato 'nye plavaṃgamāḥ
salile prapatanty anye mārgam anye na lebhire
ke cid vaihāyasa gatāḥ suparṇā iva pupluvuḥ

ghoṣeṇa mahatā ghoṣaṃ sāgarasya samucchritam
bhīmam antardadhe bhīmā tarantī harivāhinī

vānarāṇāṃ hi sā tīrṇā vāhinī nala setunā
tīre niviviśe rājñā bahumūlaphalodake

tad adbhutaṃ rāghava karma duṣkaraṃ samīkṣya devāḥ saha siddhacāraṇaiḥ
upetya rāmaṃ sahitā maharṣibhiḥ samabhyaṣiñcan suśubhair jalaiḥ pṛthak

jayasva śatrūn naradeva medinīṃ sasāgarāṃ pālaya śāśvatīḥ samāḥ
