Ramayana · Chapter 7.008

hanyamāne bale tasmin padmanābhena pṛṣṭhataḥ
mālyavān saṃnivṛtto 'tha velātiga ivārṇavaḥ

saṃraktanayanaḥ kopāc calan maulir niśācaraḥ
padmanābham idaṃ prāha vacanaṃ paruṣaṃ tadā

nārāyaṇa na jānīṣe kṣatradharmaṃ sanātanam
ayuddhamanaso bhagnān yo 'smān haṃsi yathetaraḥ

parāṅmukhavadhaṃ pāpaṃ yaḥ karoti sureśvara
sa hantā na gataḥ svargaṃ labhate puṇyakarmaṇām

yuddhaśraddhātha vā te 'sti śaṅkhacakragadādhara
ahaṃ sthito 'smi paśyāmi balaṃ darśaya yat tava

uvāca rākṣasendraṃ taṃ devarājānujo balī
yuṣmatto bhayabhītānāṃ devānāṃ vai mayābhayam
rākṣasotsādanaṃ dattaṃ tad etad anupālyate

prāṇair api priyaṃ kāryaṃ devānāṃ hi sadā mayā
so 'haṃ vo nihaniṣyāmi rasātalagatān api

devam evaṃ bruvāṇaṃ tu raktāmburuhalocanam
śaktyā bibheda saṃkruddho rākṣasendro rarāsa ca

mālyavad bhujanirmuktā śaktir ghaṇṭākṛtasvanā
harer urasi babhrāja meghastheva śatahradā

tatas tām eva cotkṛṣya śaktiṃ śaktidharapriyaḥ

sā tasyorasi vistīrṇe hārabhāsāvabhāsite

tataḥ kārṣṇāyasaṃ śūlaṃ kaṇṭakair bahubhiś citam
pragṛhyābhyahanad devaṃ stanayor antare dṛḍham

tathaiva raṇaraktas tu muṣṭinā vāsavānujam
tāḍayitvā dhanurmātram apakrānto niśācaraḥ

tato 'mbare mahāñ śabdaḥ sādhu sādhv iti cotthitaḥ
āhatya rākṣaso viṣṇuṃ garuḍaṃ cāpy atāḍayat

vainateyas tataḥ kruddhaḥ pakṣavātena rākṣasaṃ
