Ramayana · Chapter 7.075

tathoktavati rāme tu bharate ca mahātmani
lakṣmaṇo 'pi śubhaṃ vākyam uvāca raghunandanam

aśvamedho mahāyajñaḥ pāvanaḥ sarvapāpmanām
pāvanas tava durdharṣo rocatāṃ kratupuṃgavaḥ

śrūyate hi purāvṛttaṃ vāsave sumahātmani
brahmahatyāvṛtaḥ śakro hayamedhena pāvitaḥ

purā kila mahābāho devāsurasamāgame
vṛtro nāma mahān āsīd daiteyo lokasaṃmataḥ

vistīrṇā yojanaśatam ucchritas triguṇaṃ tataḥ
anurāgeṇa lokāṃs trīn snehāt paśyati sarvataḥ

dharmajñaś ca kṛtajñaś ca buddhyā ca pariniṣṭhitaḥ
śaśāsa pṛthivīṃ sarvāṃ dharmeṇa susamāhitaḥ

tasmin praśāsati tadā sarvakāmadughā mahī
rasavanti prasūtāni mūlāni ca phalāni ca

akṛṣṭapacyā pṛthivī susaṃpannā mahātmanaḥ
sa rājyaṃ tādṛśaṃ bhuṅkte sphītam adbhutadarśanam

tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā tapaḥ kuryām anuttamam
tapo hi paramaṃ śreyas tapo hi paramaṃ sukham

sa nikṣipya sutaṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ paureṣu parameśvaram
tapa ugram upātiṣṭhat tāpayan sarvadevatāḥ

tapas tapyati vṛtre tu vāsavaḥ paramārtavat
viṣṇuṃ samupasaṃkramya vākyam etad uvāca ha

tapasyatā mahābāho lokā vṛtreṇa nirjitāḥ
balavān sa hi dharmātmā nainaṃ śakṣyāmi bādhitum

yady asau tapa ātiṣṭhed bhūya eva sureśvara
yāval lokā dhariṣyanti tāvad asya vaśānugāḥ

tvaṃ cainaṃ paramodāram upekṣasi mahābala
kṣaṇaṃ hi na bhaved vṛtraḥ kruddhe tvayi sureśvara

yadā hi prītisaṃyogaṃ tvayā viṣṇo samāgataḥ
tadā prabhṛti lokānāṃ nāthatvam upalabdhavān

sa tvaṃ prasādaṃ lokānāṃ kuruṣva sumahāyaśaḥ
tvatkṛtena hi sarvaṃ syāt praśāntam ajaraṃ jagat

ime hi sarve viṣṇo tvāṃ nirīkṣante divaukasaḥ
vṛtraghatena mahatā eṣāṃ sāhyaṃ kuruṣva ha

tvayā hi nityaśaḥ sāhyaṃ kṛtam eṣāṃ mahātmanām
asahyam idam anyeṣām agatīnāṃ gatir bhavān
