Ramayana · Chapter 7.014

tataḥ sa sacivaiḥ sārdhaṃ ṣaḍbhir nityaṃ balotkaṭaiḥ
mahodaraprahastābhyāṃ mārīcaśukasāraṇaiḥ

dhūmrākṣeṇa ca vīreṇa nityaṃ samaragṛdhnunā
vṛtaḥ saṃprayayau śrīmān krodhāl lokān dahann iva

purāṇi sa nadīḥ śailān vanāny upavanāni ca
atikramya muhūrtena kailāsaṃ girim āviśat

taṃ niviṣṭaṃ girau tasmin rākṣasendraṃ niśamya tu
rājño bhrātāyam ity uktvā gatā yatra dhaneśvaraḥ

gatvā tu sarvam ācakhyur bhrātus tasya viniścayam
anujñātā yayuś caiva yuddhāya dhanadena te

tato balasya saṃkṣobhaḥ sāgarasyeva vardhataḥ
abhūn nairṛtarājasya giriṃ saṃcālayann iva

tato yuddhaṃ samabhavad yakṣarākṣasasaṃkulam
vyathitāś cābhavaṃs tatra sacivās tasya rakṣasaḥ

taṃ dṛṣṭvā tādṛśaṃ sainyaṃ daśagrīvo niśācaraḥ
harṣān nādaṃ tataḥ kṛtvā roṣāt samabhivartata

ye tu te rākṣasendrasya sacivā ghoravikramaḥ

tato gadābhiḥ parighair asibhiḥ śaktitomaraiḥ
vadhyamāno daśagrīvas tat sainyaṃ samagāhata

tair nirucchvāsavat tatra vadhyamāno daśānanaḥ
varṣamāṇair iva ghanair yakṣendraiḥ saṃnirudhyata

sa durātmā samudyamya kāladaṇḍopamāṃ gadām
praviveśa tataḥ sainyaṃ nayan yakṣān yamakṣayam

sa kakṣam iva vistīrṇaṃ śuṣkendhanasamākulam
vātenāgnir ivāyatto 'dahat sainyaṃ sudāruṇam

tais tu tasya mṛdhe 'mātyair mahodaraśukādibhiḥ
alpāvaśiṣṭās te yakṣāḥ kṛtā vātair ivāmbudāḥ

ke cit tv āyudhabhagnāṅgāḥ patitāḥ samarakṣitau
oṣṭhān svadaśanais tīkṣṇair daṃśanto bhuvi pātitāḥ

bhayād anyonyam āliṅgya bhraṣṭaśastrā raṇājire
niṣedus te tadā yakṣāḥ kūlā jalahatā iva

hatānāṃ svargasaṃsthānāṃ yudhyatāṃ pṛthivītale

tena yakṣeṇa mārīco viṣṇuneva samāhataḥ
patitaḥ pṛthivīṃ bheje kṣīṇapuṇya ivāmbarāt

prāptasaṃjño muhūrtena viśramya ca niśācaraḥ
taṃ yakṣaṃ yodhayām āsa sa ca bhagnaḥ pradudruve

tataḥ kāñcanacitrāṅgaṃ vaidūryarajatokṣitam
maryādāṃ dvārapālānāṃ toraṇaṃ tat samāviśat

tato rāma daśagrīvaṃ praviśantaṃ niśācaram
sūryabhānur iti khyāto dvārapālo nyavārayat

tatas toraṇam utpāṭya tena yakṣeṇa tāḍitaḥ
rākṣaso yakṣasṛṣṭena toraṇena samāhataḥ
na kṣitiṃ prayayau rāma varāt salilayoninaḥ

sa tu tenaiva taṃ yakṣaṃ toraṇena samāhanat
nādṛśyata tadā yakṣo bhasma tena kṛtas tu saḥ

tataḥ pradudruvuḥ sarve yakṣā dṛṣṭvā parākramam
