1
surakāryam idaṃ rambhe kartavyaṃ sumahat tvayā
lobhanaṃ kauśikasyeha kāmamohasamanvitam
2
tathoktā sāpsarā rāma sahasrākṣeṇa dhīmatā
vrīḍitā prāñjalir bhūtvā pratyuvāca sureśvaram
3
ayaṃ surapate ghoro viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ
krodham utsrakṣyate ghoraṃ mayi deva na saṃśayaḥ
tato hi me bhayaṃ deva prasādaṃ kartum arhasi
4
tām uvāca sahasrākṣo vepamānāṃ kṛtāñjalim
mā bhaiṣi rambhe bhadraṃ te kuruṣva mama śāsanam
5
kokilo hṛdayagrāhī mādhave ruciradrume
ahaṃ kandarpasahitaḥ sthāsyāmi tava pārśvataḥ
6
tvaṃ hi rūpaṃ bahuguṇaṃ kṛtvā paramabhāsvaram
tam ṛṣiṃ kauśikaṃ rambhe bhedayasva tapasvinam
7
sā śrutvā vacanaṃ tasya kṛtvā rūpam anuttamam
lobhayām āsa lalitā viśvāmitraṃ śucismitā
8
kokilasya tu śuśrāva valgu vyāharataḥ svanam
saṃprahṛṣṭena manasā tata enām udaikṣata
9
atha tasya ca śabdena gītenāpratimena ca
darśanena ca rambhāyā muniḥ saṃdeham āgataḥ
10
sahasrākṣasya tat karma vijñāya munipuṃgavaḥ
rambhāṃ krodhasamāviṣṭaḥ śaśāpa kuśikātmajaḥ
11
yan māṃ lobhayase rambhe kāmakrodhajayaiṣiṇam
daśavarṣasahasrāṇi śailī sthāsyasi durbhage
12
brāhmaṇaḥ sumahātejās tapobalasamanvitaḥ
uddhariṣyati rambhe tvāṃ matkrodhakaluṣīkṛtām
13
evam uktvā mahātejā viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ
aśaknuvan dhārayituṃ kopaṃ saṃtāpam āgataḥ
14
tasya śāpena mahatā rambhā śailī tadābhavat
vacaḥ śrutvā ca kandarpo maharṣeḥ sa ca nirgataḥ
15
kopena sa mahātejās tapo 'paharaṇe kṛte
indriyair ajitai rāma na lebhe śāntim ātmanaḥ
