Chapter 45
1
hateṣu teṣu putreṣu ditiḥ paramaduḥkhitā
mārīcaṃ kāśyapaṃ rāma bhartāram idam abravīt
2
hataputrāsmi bhagavaṃs tava putrair mahābalaiḥ
śakrahantāram icchāmi putraṃ dīrghatapo'rjitam
3
sāhaṃ tapaś cariṣyāmi garbhaṃ me dātum arhasi
īdṛśaṃ śakrahantāraṃ tvam anujñātum arhasi
4
tasyās tadvacanaṃ śrutvā mārīcaḥ kāśyapas tadā
pratyuvāca mahātejā ditiṃ paramaduḥkhitām
5
evaṃ bhavatu bhadraṃ te śucir bhava tapodhane
janayiṣyasi putraṃ tvaṃ śakra hantāram āhave
6
pūrṇe varṣasahasre tu śucir yadi bhaviṣyasi
putraṃ trailokya hantāraṃ mattas tvaṃ janayiṣyasi
7
evam uktvā mahātejāḥ pāṇinā sa mamārja tām
samālabhya tataḥ svastīty uktvā sa tapase yayau
8
gate tasmin naraśreṣṭha ditiḥ paramaharṣitā
kuśaplavanam āsādya tapas tepe sudāruṇam
9
tapas tasyāṃ hi kurvatyāṃ paricaryāṃ cakāra ha
sahasrākṣo naraśreṣṭha parayā guṇasaṃpadā
10
agniṃ kuśān kāṣṭham apaḥ phalaṃ mūlaṃ tathaiva ca
nyavedayat sahasrākṣo yac cānyad api kāṅkṣitam
11
gātrasaṃvāhanaiś caiva śramāpanayanais tathā
śakraḥ sarveṣu kāleṣu ditiṃ paricacāra ha
12
atha varṣasahasretu daśone raghu nandana
ditiḥ paramasaṃprītā sahasrākṣam athābravīt
13
tapaś carantyā varṣāṇi daśa vīryavatāṃ vara
avaśiṣṭāni bhadraṃ te bhrātaraṃ drakṣyase tataḥ
14
tam ahaṃ tvatkṛte putra samādhāsye jayotsukam
trailokyavijayaṃ putra saha bhokṣyasi vijvaraḥ
15
evam uktvā ditiḥ śakraṃ prāpte madhyaṃ divākare
nidrayāpahṛtā devī pādau kṛtvātha śīrṣataḥ
16
dṛṣṭvā tām aśuciṃ śakraḥ pādataḥ kṛtamūrdhajām
śiraḥsthāne kṛtau pādau jahāsa ca mumoda ca
17
tasyāḥ śarīravivaraṃ viveśa ca puraṃdaraḥ
garbhaṃ ca saptadhā rāma bibheda paramātmavān
18
bidhyamānas tato garbho vajreṇa śataparvaṇā
ruroda susvaraṃ rāma tato ditir abudhyata
19
mā rudo mā rudaś ceti garbhaṃ śakro 'bhyabhāṣata
bibheda ca mahātejā rudantam api vāsavaḥ
20
na hantavyo na hantavya ity evaṃ ditir abravīt
niṣpapāta tataḥ śakro mātur vacanagauravāt
21
prāñjalir vajrasahito ditiṃ śakro 'bhyabhāṣata
aśucir devi suptāsi pādayoḥ kṛtamūrdhajā
22
tadantaram ahaṃ labdhvā śakrahantāram āhave
abhindaṃ saptadhā devi tan me tvaṃ kṣantum arhasi
