Ramayana · Chapter 7.066

nāradasya tu tad vākyaṃ śrutvāmṛtamayaṃ yathā
praharṣam atulaṃ lebhe lakṣmaṇaṃ cedam abravīt

gaccha saumya dvijaśreṣṭhaṃ samāśvāsaya lakṣmaṇa
bālasya ca śarīraṃ tat tailadroṇyāṃ nidhāpaya

gandhaiś ca paramodārais tailaiś ca susugandhibhiḥ
yathā na kṣīyate bālas tathā saumya vidhīyatām

yathā śarīre bālasya guptasyākliṣṭakarmaṇaḥ
vipattiḥ paribhedo vā bhaven na ca tathā kuru

tathā saṃdiśya kākutstho lakṣmaṇaṃ śubhalakṣaṇam
manasā puṣpakaṃ dadhyāv āgaccheti mahāyaśāḥ

iṅgitaṃ sa tu vijñāya puṣpako hemabhūṣitaḥ
ājagāma muhūrtena saṃpīpaṃ rāghavasya vai

so 'bravīt praṇato bhūtvā ayam asmi narādhipa
vaśyas tava mahābāho kiṃkaraḥ samupasthitaḥ

bhāṣitaṃ ruciraṃ śrutvā puṣpakasya narādhipaḥ
abhivādya maharṣīs tān vimānaṃ so 'dhyarohata

dhanur gṛhītvā tūṇīṃ ca khagdaṃ ca ruciraprabham
nikṣipya nagare vīrau saumitribharatāv ubhau

prāyāt pratīcīṃ sa marūn vicinvaṃś ca samantataḥ
uttarām agamac chrīmān diśaṃ himavadāvṛtam

apaśyamānas tatrāpi svalpam apy atha duṣkṛtam
pūrvām api diśaṃ sarvām athāpaśyan narādhipaḥ

dakṣiṇāṃ diśam ākrāmat tato rājarṣinandanaḥ
śaivalasyottare pārśve dadarśa sumahat saraḥ

tasmin sarasi tapyantaṃ tāpasaṃ sumahat tapaḥ
dadarśa rāghavaḥ śrīmāṃl lambamānam adho mukham

athainaṃ samupāgamya tapyantaṃ tapa uttamam
uvāca rāghavo vākyaṃ dhanyas tvam asi suvrata

kasyāṃ yonyāṃ tapovṛddhavartase dṛḍhavikrama
kautūhalāt tvāṃ pṛcchāmi rāmo dāśarathir hy aham

manīṣitas te ko nv arthaḥ svargalābho varāśrayaḥ
yam aśritya tapas taptaṃ śrotum icchāmi tāpasa

brāhmaṇo vāsi bhadraṃ te kṣatriyo vāsi durjayaḥ
vaiśyo vā yadi vā śūdraḥ satyam etad bravīhi me
