Ramayana · Chapter 7.029

tatas tamasi saṃjāte rākṣasā daivataiḥ saha
ayudhyanta balonmattāḥ sūdayantaḥ parasparam

tatas tu devasainyena rākṣasānāṃ mahad balam
daśāṃśaṃ sthāpitaṃ yuddhe śeṣaṃ nītaṃ yamakṣayam

tasmiṃs tu tamasā naddhe sarve te devarākṣasāḥ
anyonyaṃ nābhyajānanta yudhyamānāḥ parasparam

indraś ca rāvaṇaś caiva rāvaṇiś ca mahābalaḥ
tasmiṃs tamojālavṛte moham īyur na te trayaḥ

sa tu dṛṣṭvā balaṃ sarvaṃ nihataṃ rāvaṇo raṇe
krodham abhyāgamat tīvraṃ mahānādaṃ ca muktavān

krodhāt sūtaṃ ca durdharṣaḥ syandanastham uvāca ha
parasainyasya madhyena yāvadantaṃ nayasva mām

adyaitāṃs tridaśān sarvān vikramaiḥ samare svayam
nānāśastrair mahāsārair nāśayāmi nabhastalāt

aham indraṃ vadhiṣyāmi varuṇaṃ dhanadaṃ yamam
tridaśān vinihatyāśu svayaṃ sthāsyāmy athopari

viṣādo na ca kartavyaḥ śīghraṃ vāhaya me ratham
dviḥ khalu tvāṃ bravīmy adya yāvadantaṃ nayasva mām

ayaṃ sa nandanoddeśo yatra vartāmahe vayam
naya mām adya tatra tvam udayo yatra parvataḥ

tasya tad vacanaṃ śrutvā turagān sa manojavān
ādideśātha śatrūṇāṃ madhyenaiva ca sārathiḥ

tasya taṃ niścayaṃ jñātvā śakro deveśvaras tadā

surāḥ śṛṇuta madvākyaṃ yat tāvan mama rocate
jīvann eva daśagrīvaḥ sādhu rakṣo nigṛhyatām

eṣa hy atibalaḥ sainye rathena pavanaujasā
gamiṣyati pravṛddhormiḥ samudra iva parvaṇi

na hy eṣa hantuṃ śakyo 'dya varadānāt sunirbhayaḥ
tad grahīṣyāmahe rakṣo yattā bhavata saṃyuge

yathā baliṃ nigṛhyaitat trailokyaṃ bhujyate mayā
evam etasya pāpasya nigraho mama rocate

tato 'nyaṃ deśam āsthāya śakraḥ saṃtyajya rāvaṇam

uttareṇa daśagrīvaḥ praviveśānivartitaḥ
dakṣiṇena tu pārśvena praviveśa śatakratuḥ

tataḥ sa yojanaśataṃ praviṣṭo rākṣasādhipaḥ
devatānāṃ balaṃ kṛtsnaṃ śaravarṣair avākirat

tataḥ śakro nirīkṣyātha praviṣṭaṃ taṃ balaṃ svakam

etasminn antare nādo mukto dānavarākṣasaiḥ
hā hatāḥ smeti taṃ dṛṣṭvā grastaṃ śakreṇa rāvaṇam

tato rathaṃ samāruhya rāvaṇiḥ krodhamūrchitaḥ

sa tāṃ praviśya māyāṃ tu dattāṃ gopatinā purā
adṛśyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ tat sainyaṃ samavākirat

tataḥ sa devān saṃtyajya śakram evābhyayād drutam

sa mātaliṃ hayāṃś caiva tāḍayitvā śarottamaiḥ
mahendraṃ bāṇavarṣeṇa śīghrahasto hy avākirat

tataḥ śakro rathaṃ tyaktva visṛjya ca sa mātalim
airāvataṃ samāruhya mṛgayām āsa rāvaṇim

sa tu māyā balād rakṣaḥ saṃgrāme nābhyadṛśyata
kiramāṇaḥ śaraughena mahendram amitaujasaṃ

rāvaṇas tu samāsādya vasvādityamarudgaṇān
na śaśāka raṇe sthātuṃ na yoddhuṃ śastrapīḍitaḥ

taṃ tu dṛṣṭvā pariśrāntaṃ prahārair jarjaracchavim
rāvaṇiḥ pitaraṃ yuddhe 'darśanastho 'bravīd idam

āgaccha tāta gacchāvo nivṛttaṃ raṇakarma tat

atha raṇavigatajvaraḥ prabhur vijayam avāpya niśācarādhipaḥ
bhavanam abhi tato jagāma hṛṣṭaḥ svasutam avāpya ca vākyam abravīt

atibalasadṛśaiḥ parākramais tair mama kulamānavivardhanaṃ kṛtam
yad amarasamavikrama tvayā tridaśapatis tridaśāś ca nirjitāḥ

tvaritam upanayasva vāsavaṃ nagaram ito vraja sainyasaṃvṛtaḥ
aham api tava gacchato drutaṃ saha sacivair anuyāmi pṛṣṭhataḥ

atha sa balavṛtaḥ savāhanas tridaśapatiṃ parigṛhya rāvaṇiḥ
svabhavanam upagamya rākṣaso muditamanā visasarja rākṣasān
