Ramayana · Chapter 7.096

avāṅmukham atho dīnaṃ dṛṣṭvā somam ivāplutam
rāghavaṃ lakṣmaṇo vākyaṃ hṛṣṭo madhuram abravīt

na saṃtāpaṃ mahābāho madarthaṃ kartum arhasi
pūrvanirmāṇabaddhā hi kālasya gatir īdṛśī

jahi māṃ saumya visrabdaḥ pratijñāṃ paripālaya
hīnapratijñāḥ kākutstha prayānti narakaṃ narāḥ

yadi prītir mahārāja yady anugrāhyatā mayi
jahi māṃ nirviśaṅkas tvaṃ dharmaṃ vardhaya rāghava

lakṣmaṇena tathoktas tu rāmaḥ pracalitendriyaḥ
mantriṇaḥ samupānīya tathaiva ca purodhasaṃ

abravīc ca yathāvṛttaṃ teṣāṃ madhye narādhipaḥ
durvāso'bhigamaṃ caiva pratijñāṃ tāpasasya ca

tac chrutvā mantriṇaḥ sarve sopādhyāyāḥ samāsata
vasiṣṭhas tu mahātejā vākyam etad uvāca ha

dṛṣṭam etan mahābāho kṣayaṃ te lomaharṣaṇam
lakṣmaṇena viyogaś ca tava rāma mahāyaśaḥ

tyajainaṃ balavān kālo mā pratijñāṃ vṛthā kṛthāḥ
vinaṣṭāyāṃ pratijñāyāṃ dharmo hi vilayaṃ vrajet

tato dharme vinaṣṭe tu trailokye sacarācaram
sadevarṣigaṇaṃ sarvaṃ vinaśyeta na saṃśayaḥ

sa tvaṃ puruṣaśārdūla trailokyasyābhipālanam
lakṣmaṇasya vadhenādya jagat svasthaṃ kuruṣva ha

teṣāṃ tat samavetānāṃ vākyaṃ dharmārthasaṃhitam
śrutvā pariṣado madhye rāmo lakṣmaṇam abravīt

visarjaye tvāṃ saumitre mā bhūd dharmaviparyayaḥ
tyāgo vadho vā vihitaḥ sādhūnām ubhayaṃ samam

rāmeṇa bhāṣite vākye bāṣpavyākulitekṣaṇaḥ
lakṣmaṇas tvaritaḥ prāyāt svagṛhaṃ na viveśa ha

sa gatvā sarayūtīram upaspṛśya kṛtāñjaliḥ
nigṛhya sarvasrotāṃsi niḥśvāsaṃ na mumoca ha

anucchvasantaṃ yuktaṃ taṃ saśakrāḥ sāpsarogaṇāḥ
devāḥ sarṣigaṇāḥ sarve puṣpair avakiraṃs tadā

adṛśyaṃ sarvam anujaiḥ saśarīraṃ mahābalam
pragṛhya lakṣmaṇaṃ śakro divaṃ saṃpraviveśa ha
