Ramayana · Chapter 6.080

tataḥ paulastya sacivāḥ śrutvā cendrajitaṃ hatam
ācacakṣur abhijñāya daśagrīvāya savyathāḥ

yuddhe hato mahārāja lakṣmaṇena tavātmajaḥ
vibhīṣaṇasahāyena miṣatāṃ no mahādyute

śūraḥ śūreṇa saṃgamya saṃyugeṣv aparājitaḥ
lakṣṇanena hataḥ śūraḥ putras te vibudhendrajit

sa taṃ pratibhayaṃ śrutvā vadhaṃ putrasya dāruṇam
ghoram indrajitaḥ saṃkhye kaśmalaṃ prāviśan mahat

upalabhya cirāt saṃjñāṃ rājā rākṣasapuṃgavaḥ
putraśokārdito dīno vilalāpākulendriyaḥ

hā rākṣasacamūmukhya mama vatsa mahāratha
jitvendraṃ katham adya tvaṃ lakṣmaṇasya vaśaṃ gataḥ

nanu tvam iṣubhiḥ kruddho bhindyāḥ kālāntakāv api
mandarasyāpi śṛṅgāṇi kiṃ punar lakṣmaṇaṃ raṇe

adya vaivasvato rājā bhūyo bahumato mama

eṣa panthāḥ suyodhānāṃ sarvāmaragaṇeṣv api
yaḥ kṛte hanyate bhartuḥ sa pumān svargam ṛcchati

adya devagaṇāḥ sarve lokapālās tatharṣayaḥ
hatam indrajitaṃ dṛṣṭvā sukhaṃ svapsyanti nirbhayāḥ

adya lokās trayaḥ kṛtsnāḥ pṛthivī ca sakānanā
ekenendrajitā hīnā śūṇyeva pratibhāti me

adya nairṛtakanyāyāṃ śroṣyāmy antaḥpure ravam
