Ramayana · Chapter 7.056

evam uktvā tu kākutsthaṃ praśasya ca punaḥ punaḥ
punar evāparaṃ vākyam uvāca raghunandanaḥ

imāny aśvasahasrāṇi catvāri puruṣarṣabha
rathānāṃ ca sahasre dve gajānāṃ śatam eva ca

antarāpaṇavīthyaś ca nānāpaṇyopaśobhitāḥ
anugacchantu śatrughna tathaiva naṭanartakāḥ

hiraṇyasya suvarṇasya ayutaṃ puruṣarṣabha
gṛhītvā gaccha śatrughna paryāptadhanavāhanaḥ

balaṃ ca subhṛtaṃ vīra hṛṣṭapuṣṭam anuttamam
saṃbhāṣya saṃpradānena rañjayasva narottama

na hy arthās tatra tiṣṭhanti na dārā na ca bāndhavāḥ
suprīto bhṛtyavargas tu yatra tiṣṭhati rāghava

ato hṛṣṭajanākīrṇāṃ prasthāpya mahatīṃ camūm
eka eva dhanuṣpānis tad gaccha tvaṃ madhor vanam

yathā tvāṃ na prajānāti gacchantaṃ yuddhakāṅkṣiṇam
lavaṇas tu madhoḥ putras tathā gaccher aśaṅkitaḥ

na tasya mṛtyur anyo 'sti kaś cid dhi puruṣarṣabha
darśanaṃ yo 'bhigaccheta sa vadhyo lavaṇena hi

sa grīṣme vyapayāte tu varṣarātra upasthite
hanyās tvaṃ lavaṇaṃ saumya sa hi kālo 'sya durmateḥ

maharṣīṃs tu puraskṛtya prayāntu tava sainikāḥ
yathā grīṣmāvaśeṣeṇa tareyur jāhnavījalam

tataḥ sthāpya balaṃ sarvaṃ nadītīre samāhitaḥ
agrato dhanuṣā sārdhaṃ gaccha tvaṃ laghuvikrama

evam uktas tu rāmeṇa śatrughnas tān mahābalān
senāmukhyān samānīya tato vākyam uvāca ha

ete vo gaṇitā vāsā yatra yatra nivatsyatha
sthātavyaṃ cāvirodhena yathā bādhā na kasya cit

tathā tāṃs tu samājñāpya niryāpya ca mahad balam
kausalyāṃ ca sumitrāṃ ca kaikeyīṃ cābhyavādayat

rāmaṃ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā śirasābhipraṇamya ca
rāṇeṇa cābhyanujñātaḥ śatrughnaḥ śatrutāpanaḥ

lakṣmaṇaṃ bharataṃ caiva praṇipatya kṛtāñjaliḥ
purodhasaṃ vasiṣṭhaṃ ca śatrughnaḥ prayatātmavān
pradakṣiṇam atho kṛtvā nirjagāma mahābalaḥ
