yudhyamānau tu tau dṛṣṭvā prasaktau nararākṣasau
śūraḥ sa rāvaṇabhrātā tasthau saṃgrāmamūrdhani

tato visphārayām āsa mahad dhanur avasthitaḥ
utsasarja ca tīkṣṇāgrān rākṣaseṣu mahāśarān

te śarāḥ śikhisaṃkāśā nipatantaḥ samāhitāḥ
rākṣasān dārayām āsur vajrā iva mahāgirīn

ciccheduḥ samare vīrān rākṣasān rākṣasottamāḥ

rākṣasais taiḥ parivṛtaḥ sa tadā tu vibhīṣaṇaḥ
babhau madhye prahṛṣṭānāṃ kalabhānām iva dvipaḥ

tataḥ saṃcodayāno vai harīn rakṣoraṇapriyān
uvāca vacanaṃ kāle kālajño rakṣasāṃ varaḥ

eko 'yaṃ rākṣasendrasya parāyaṇam iva sthitaḥ
etac cheṣaṃ balaṃ tasya kiṃ tiṣṭhata harīśvarāḥ

asmin vinihate pāpe rākṣase raṇamūrdhani
rāvaṇaṃ varjayitvā tu śeṣam asya balaṃ hatam

prahasto nihato vīro nikumbhaś ca mahābalaḥ
kumbhakarṇaś ca kumbhaś ca dhūmrākṣaś ca niśācaraḥ

akampanaḥ supārśvaś ca cakramālī ca rākṣasaḥ
kampanaḥ sattvavantaś ca devāntakanarāntakau

etān nihatyātibalān bahūn rākṣasasattamān
bāhubhyāṃ sāgaraṃ tīrtvā laṅghyatāṃ goṣpadaṃ laghu

etāvad iha śeṣaṃ vo jetavyam iha vānarāḥ
hatāḥ sarve samāgamya rākṣasā baladarpitāḥ

ayuktaṃ nidhanaṃ kartuṃ putrasya janitur mama
ghṛṇām apāsya rāmārthe nihanyāṃ bhrātur ātmajam

hantukāmasya me bāṣpaṃ cakśuś caiva nirudhyate
tad evaiṣa mahābāhur lakṣmaṇaḥ śamayiṣyati

jāmbavān api taiḥ sarvaiḥ svayūthair abhisaṃvṛtaḥ
aśmabhis tāḍayām āsa nakhair dantaiś ca rākṣasān

nighnantam ṛkṣādhipatiṃ rākṣasās te mahābalāḥ
parivavrur bhayaṃ tyaktvā tam anekavidhāyudhāḥ

śaraiḥ paraśubhis tīkṣṇaiḥ paṭṭasair yaṣṭitomaraiḥ
jāmbavantaṃ mṛdhe jaghnur nighnantaṃ rākṣasīṃ camūm

sa saṃprahāras tumulaḥ saṃjajñe kapirākṣasām

tau prayuddhau tadā vīrau mṛdhe lakṣmaṇarākṣasau
śaraughān abhivarṣantau jaghnatus tau parasparam

abhīkṣṇam antardadhatuḥ śarajālair mahābalau

na hy ādānaṃ na saṃdhānaṃ dhanuṣo vā parigrahaḥ
na vipramokṣo bāṇānāṃ na vikarṣo na vigrahaḥ

na muṣṭipratisaṃdhānaṃ na lakṣyapratipādanam

nihataṃ sārathiṃ dṛṣṭvā samare rāvaṇātmajaḥ
prajahau samaroddharṣaṃ viṣaṇṇaḥ sa babhūva ha

viṣaṇṇavadanaṃ dṛṣṭvā rākṣasaṃ hariyūthapāḥ
tataḥ paramasaṃhṛṣṭo lakṣmaṇaṃ cābhyapūjayan

tataḥ pramāthī śarabho rabhaso gandhamādanaḥ
