Ramayana · Chapter 6.052

tad uktam atikāyasya balino bāhuśālinaḥ
kumbhakarṇasya vacanaṃ śrutvovāca mahodaraḥ

kumbhakarṇakule jāto dhṛṣṭaḥ prākṛtadarśanaḥ
avalipto na śaknoṣi kṛtyaṃ sarvatra veditum

na hi rājā na jānīte kumbhakarṇa nayānayau
tvaṃ tu kaiśorakād dhṛṣṭaḥ kevalaṃ vaktum icchasi

sthānaṃ vṛddhiṃ ca hāniṃ ca deśakālavibhāgavit
ātmanaś ca pareṣāṃ ca budhyate rākṣasarṣabha

yat tu śakyaṃ balavatā kartuṃ prākṛtabuddhinā
anupāsitavṛddhena kaḥ kuryāt tādṛśaṃ budhaḥ

yāṃs tu dharmārthakāmāṃs tvaṃ bravīṣi pṛthag āśrayān
anuboddhuṃ svabhāvena na hi lakṣaṇam asti te

karma caiva hi sarveṣāṃ kāraṇānāṃ prayojanam
śreyaḥ pāpīyasāṃ cātra phalaṃ bhavati karmaṇām

niḥśreyasa phalāv eva dharmārthāv itarāv api

aihalaukikapāratryaṃ karma pumbhir niṣevyate
karmāṇy api tu kalpyāni labhate kāmam āsthitaḥ

tatra kḷptam idaṃ rājñā hṛdi kāryaṃ mataṃ ca naḥ
śatrau hi sāhasaṃ yat syāt kim ivātrāpanīyate

ekasyaivābhiyāne tu hetur yaḥ prakṛtas tvayā

ye purā nirjitās tena janasthāne mahaujasaḥ
rākṣasāṃs tān pure sarvān bhītān adyāpi paśyasi

taṃ siṃham iva saṃkruddhaṃ rāmaṃ daśarathātmajam
sarpaṃ suptam ivābuddhyā prabodhayitum icchasi

jvalantaṃ tejasā nityaṃ krodhena ca durāsadam
kas taṃ mṛtyum ivāsahyam āsādayitum arhati

saṃśayastham idaṃ sarvaṃ śatroḥ pratisamāsane
ekasya gamanaṃ tatra na hi me rocate tava

hīnārthas tu samṛddhārthaṃ ko ripuṃ prākṛto yathā
niścitaṃ jīvitatyāge vaśam ānetum icchati

yasya nāsti manuṣyeṣu sadṛśo rākṣasottama
katham āśaṃsase yoddhuṃ tulyenendravivasvatoḥ

evam uktvā tu saṃrabdhaṃ kumbhakarṇaṃ mahodaraḥ
uvāca rakṣasāṃ madhye rāvaṇo lokarāvaṇam

labdhvā punas tāṃ vaidehīṃ kimarthaṃ tvaṃ prajalpasi

ahaṃ dvijihvaḥ saṃhrādī kumbhakarṇo vitardanaḥ
