Chapter 39
1
vilapantīṃ tathā tāṃ tu kausalyāṃ pramadottamām
idaṃ dharme sthitā dharmyaṃ sumitrā vākyam abravīt
2
tavārye sadguṇair yuktaḥ putraḥ sa puruṣottamaḥ
kiṃ te vilapitenaivaṃ kṛpaṇaṃ ruditena vā
3
yas tavārye gataḥ putras tyaktvā rājyaṃ mahābalaḥ
sādhu kurvan mahātmānaṃ pitaraṃ satyavādinām
4
śiṣṭair ācarite samyak śaśvat pretya phalodaye
rāmo dharme sthitaḥ śreṣṭho na sa śocyaḥ kadā cana
5
vartate cottamāṃ vṛttiṃ lakṣmaṇo 'smin sadānaghaḥ
dayāvān sarvabhūteṣu lābhas tasya mahātmanaḥ
6
araṇyavāse yad duḥkhaṃ jānatī vai sukhocitā
anugacchati vaidehī dharmātmānaṃ tavātmajam
7
kīrtibhūtāṃ patākāṃ yo loke bhrāmayati prabhuḥ
damasatyavrataparaḥ kiṃ na prāptas tavātmajaḥ
8
vyaktaṃ rāmasya vijñāya śaucaṃ māhātmyam uttamam
na gātram aṃśubhiḥ sūryaḥ saṃtāpayitum arhati
9
śivaḥ sarveṣu kāleṣu kānanebhyo viniḥsṛtaḥ
rāghavaṃ yuktaśītoṣṇaḥ seviṣyati sukho 'nilaḥ
10
śayānam anaghaṃ rātrau pitevābhipariṣvajan
raśmibhiḥ saṃspṛśañ śītaiś candramā hlādayiṣyati
11
dadau cāstrāṇi divyāni yasmai brahmā mahaujase
dānavendraṃ hataṃ dṛṣṭvā timidhvajasutaṃ raṇe
12
pṛthivyā saha vaidehyā śriyā ca puruṣarṣabhaḥ
kṣipraṃ tisṛbhir etābhiḥ saha rāmo 'bhiṣekṣyate
13
duḥkhajaṃ visṛjanty asraṃ niṣkrāmantam udīkṣya yam
samutsrakṣyasi netrābhyāṃ kṣipram ānandajaṃ payaḥ
14
abhivādayamānaṃ taṃ dṛṣṭvā sasuhṛdaṃ sutam
mudāśru mokṣyase kṣipraṃ meghalekeva vārṣikī
15
putras te varadaḥ kṣipram ayodhyāṃ punar āgataḥ
karābhyāṃ mṛdupīnābhyāṃ caraṇau pīḍayiṣyati
16
niśamya tal lakṣmaṇamātṛvākyaṃ; rāmasya mātur naradevapatnyāḥ
sadyaḥ śarīre vinanāśa śokaḥ; śaradgato megha ivālpatoyaḥ
