Ramayana · Chapter 7.001

prāptarājyasya rāmasya rākṣasānāṃ vadhe kṛte
ājagmur ṛṣayaḥ sarve rāghavaṃ pratinanditum

kauśiko 'tha yavakrīto raibhyaś cyavana eva ca
kaṇvo medhātitheḥ putraḥ pūrvasyāṃ diśi ye śritāḥ

svastyātreyaś ca bhagavān namuciḥ pramucus tathā
ājagmus te sahāgastyā ye śritā dakṣiṇāṃ diśam

pṛṣadguḥ kavaṣo dhaumyo raudreyaś ca mahān ṛṣiḥ
te 'py ājagmuḥ saśiṣyā vai ye śritāḥ paścimāṃ diśam

vasiṣṭhaḥ kaśyapo 'thātrir viśvāmitro 'tha gautamaḥ
jamadagnir bharadvājas te 'pi saptamaharṣayaḥ

saṃprāpyaite mahātmāno rāghavasya niveśanam
viṣṭhitāḥ pratihārārthaṃ hutāśanasamaprabhāḥ

pratihāras tatas tūrṇam agastyavacanād atha
samīpaṃ rāghavasyāśu praviveśa mahātmanaḥ

sa rāmaṃ dṛśya sahasā pūrṇacandrasamadyutim
agastyaṃ kathayām āsa saṃprātam ṛṣibhiḥ saha

śrutvā prāptān munīṃs tāṃs tu bālasūryasamaprabhān
tadovāca nṛpo dvāḥsthaṃ praveśaya yathāsukham

dṛṣṭvā prāptān munīṃs tāṃs tu pratyutthāya kṛtāñjaliḥ
rāmo 'bhivādya prayata āsanāny ādideśa ha

teṣu kāñcanacitreṣu svāstīrṇeṣu sukheṣu ca
yathārham upaviṣṭās te āsaneṣv ṛṣipuṃgavāḥ

rāmeṇa kuśalaṃ pṛṣṭāḥ saśiṣyāḥ sapurogamāḥ
maharṣayo vedavido rāmaṃ vacanam abruvan

kuśalaṃ no mahābāho sarvatra raghunandana
tvāṃ tu diṣṭyā kuśalinaṃ paśyāmo hataśātravam

na hi bhāraḥ sa te rāma rāvaṇo rākṣaseśvaraḥ
sadhanus tvaṃ hi lokāṃs trīn vijayethā na saṃśayaḥ

diṣṭyā tvayā hato rāma rāvaṇaḥ putrapautravān
diṣṭyā vijayinaṃ tvādya paśyāmaḥ saha bhāryayā

diṣṭyā prahasto vikaṭo virūpākṣo mahodaraḥ
akampanaś ca durdharṣo nihatās te niśācarāḥ

yasya pramāṇād vipulaṃ pramāṇaṃ neha vidyate
diṣṭyā te samare rāma kumbhakarṇo nipātitaḥ

diṣṭyā tvaṃ rākṣasendreṇa dvandvayuddham upāgataḥ
devatānām avadhyena vijayaṃ prāptavān asi

saṃkhye tasya na kiṃ cit tu rāvaṇasya parābhavaḥ
dvandvayuddham anuprāpto diṣṭyā te rāvaṇir hataḥ

diṣṭyā tasya mahābāho kālasyevābhidhāvataḥ
muktaḥ suraripor vīra prāptaś ca vijayas tvayā

vismayas tv eṣa naḥ saumya saṃśrutyendrajitaṃ hatam
avadhyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ mahāmāyādharo yudhi

dattvā puṇyām imāṃ vīra saumyām abhayadakṣiṇām
diṣṭyā vardhasi kākutstha jayenāmitrakarśana

śrutvā tu vacanaṃ teṣām ṛṣīṇāṃ bhāvitātmanām
vismayaṃ paramaṃ gatvā rāmaḥ prāñjalir abravīt

bhavantaḥ kumbhakarṇaṃ ca rāvaṇaṃ ca niśācaram
atikramya mahāvīryau kiṃ praśaṃsatha rāvaṇim

mahodaraṃ prahastaṃ ca virūpākṣaṃ ca rākṣasaṃ
atikramya mahāvīryān kiṃ praśaṃsatha rāvaṇim

kīdṛśo vai prabhāvo 'sya kiṃ balaṃ kaḥ parākramaḥ
kena vā kāraṇenaiṣa rāvaṇād atiricyate

śakyaṃ yadi mayā śrotuṃ na khalv ājñāpayāmi vaḥ
yadi guhyaṃ na ced vaktuṃ śrotum icchāmi kathyatām
kathaṃ śakro jitas tena kathaṃ labdhavaraś ca saḥ
