siddhāśrama iti khyātaḥ siddho hy atra mahātapāḥ
3
etasminn eva kāle tu rājā vairocanir baliḥ
nirjitya daivatagaṇān sendrāṃś ca samarudgaṇān
kārayām āsa tad rājyaṃ triṣu lokeṣu viśrutaḥ
4
bales tu yajamānasya devāḥ sāgnipurogamāḥ
samāgamya svayaṃ caiva viṣṇum ūcur ihāśrame
5
balir vairocanir viṣṇo yajate yajñam uttamam
asamāpte kratau tasmin svakāryam abhipadyatām
6
ye cainam abhivartante yācitāra itas tataḥ
yac ca yatra yathāvac ca sarvaṃ tebhyaḥ prayacchati
7

11
mahendrāya punaḥ prādān niyamya balim ojasā
trailokyaṃ sa mahātejāś cakre śakravaśaṃ punaḥ
12
tenaiṣa pūrvam ākrānta āśramaḥ śramanāśanaḥ
mayāpi bhaktyā tasyaiṣa vāmanasyopabhujyate
13
etam āśramam āyānti rākṣasā vighnakāriṇaḥ
atra te puruṣavyāghra hantavyā duṣṭacāriṇaḥ
14
adya gacchāmahe rāma siddhāśramam anuttamam
tad āśramapadaṃ tāta tavāpy etad yathā mama
15
taṃ dṛṣṭvā munayaḥ sarve siddhāśramanivāsinaḥ
utpatyotpatya sahasā viśvāmitram apūjayan
16

tathaiva rājaputrābhyām akurvann atithikriyām
17
muhūrtam atha viśrāntau rājaputrāv ariṃdamau
prāñjalī muniśārdūlam ūcatū raghunandanau
18
adyaiva dīkṣāṃ praviśa bhadraṃ te munipuṃgava
siddhāśramo 'yaṃ siddhaḥ syāt satyam astu vacas tava
19
evam ukto mahātejā viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ
praviveśa tadā dīkṣāṃ niyato niyatendriyaḥ
20
kumārāv api tāṃ rātrim uṣitvā susamāhitau
prabhātakāle cotthāya viśvāmitram avandatām
