Ramayana · Chapter 7.071

etad ākhyāya rāmāya maharṣiḥ kumbhasaṃbhavaḥ
asyām evāparaṃ vākyaṃ kathāyām upacakrame

tataḥ sa daṇḍaḥ kākutstha bahuvarṣagaṇāyutam
akarot tatra mandātmā rājyaṃ nihatakaṇṭakam

atha kāle tu kasmiṃś cid rājā bhārgavam āśramam
ramaṇīyam upākrāmac caitre māsi manorame

tatra bhārgavakanyāṃ sa rūpeṇāpratimāṃ bhuvi
vicarantīṃ vanoddeśe daṇḍo 'paśyad anuttamām

sa dṛṣṭvā tāṃ sudurmedhā anaṅgaśarapīḍitaḥ
abhigamya susaṃvignaḥ kanyāṃ vacanam abravīt

kutas tvam asi suśroṇi kasya vāsi sutā śubhe
pīḍito 'ham anaṅgena pṛcchāmi tvāṃ sumadhyame

tasya tv evaṃ bruvāṇasya mohonmattasya kāminaḥ
bhārgavī pratyuvācedaṃ vacaḥ sānunayaṃ nṛpam

bhārgavasya sutāṃ viddhi devasyākliṣṭakarmaṇaḥ
arajāṃ nāma rājendra jyeṣṭhām āśramavāsinīm

guruḥ pitā me rājendra tvaṃ ca śiṣyo mahātmanaḥ
vyasanaṃ sumahat kruddhaḥ sa te dadyān mahātapāḥ

yadi vātra mayā kāryaṃ dharmadṛṣṭena satpathā
varayasva nṛpa śreṣṭha pitaraṃ me mahādyutim

anyathā tu phalaṃ tubhyaṃ bhaved ghorābhisaṃhitam
krodhena hi pitā me 'sau trailokyam api nirdahet

evaṃ bruvāṇām arajāṃ daṇḍaḥ kāmaśarārditaḥ
pratyuvāca madonmattaḥ śirasy ādhāya so 'ñjalim

prasādaṃ kuru suśroṇi na kālaṃ kṣeptum arhasi
tvatkṛte hi mama prāṇā vidīryante śubhānane

tvāṃ prāpya hi vadho vāpi pāpaṃ vāpi sudāruṇam
bhaktaṃ bhajasva māṃ bhīru bhajamānaṃ suvihvalam

evam uktvā tu tāṃ kanyāṃ dorbhyāṃ gṛhya balād balī
visphurantīṃ yathākāmaṃ maithunāyopacakrame

tam anarthaṃ mahāghoraṃ daṇḍaḥ kṛtvā sudāruṇam
nagaraṃ prayayau cāśu madhumantam anuttamam

arajāpi rudantī sā āśramasyāvidūrataḥ
pratīkṣate susaṃtrastā pitaraṃ devasaṃnibham
