1
tapyamānaṃ tathā rāmaṃ sītāharaṇakarśitam
lokānām abhave yuktaṃ sāmvartakam ivānalam
2
vīkṣamāṇaṃ dhanuḥ sajyaṃ niḥśvasantaṃ muhur muhuḥ
hantukāmaṃ paśuṃ rudraṃ kruddhaṃ dakṣakratau yathā
3
adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ saṃkruddhaṃ dṛṣṭvā rāmaṃ sa lakṣmaṇaḥ
abravīt prāñjalir vākyaṃ mukhena pariśuṣyatā
4
purā bhūtvā mṛdur dāntaḥ sarvabhūtahite rataḥ
na krodhavaśam āpannaḥ prakṛtiṃ hātum arhasi
5
candre lakṣṇīḥ prabhā sūrye gatir vāyau bhuvi kṣamā
etac ca niyataṃ sarvaṃ tvayi cānuttamaṃ yaśaḥ
6
na tu jānāmi kasyāyaṃ bhagnaḥ sāṃgrāmiko rathaḥ
kena vā kasya vā hetoḥ sāyudhaḥ saparicchadaḥ
7
khuranemikṣataś cāyaṃ sikto rudhirabindubhiḥ
deśo nivṛttasaṃgrāmaḥ sughoraḥ pārthivātmaja
8
ekasya tu vimardo 'yaṃ na dvayor vadatāṃ vara
na hi vṛttaṃ hi paśyāmi balasya mahataḥ padam
9
naikasya tu kṛte lokān vināśayitum arhasi
yuktadaṇḍā hi mṛdavaḥ praśāntā vasudhādhipāḥ
10
sadā tvaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ śaraṇyaḥ paramā gatiḥ
ko nu dārapraṇāśaṃ te sādhu manyeta rāghava
11
saritaḥ sāgarāḥ śailā devagandharvadānavāḥ
nālaṃ te vipriyaṃ kartuṃ dīkṣitasyeva sādhavaḥ
12
yena rājan hṛtā sītā tam anveṣitum arhasi
maddvitīyo dhanuṣpāṇiḥ sahāyaiḥ paramarṣibhiḥ
13
samudraṃ ca viceṣyāmaḥ parvatāṃś ca vanāni ca
guhāś ca vividhā ghorā nalinīḥ pārvatīś ca ha
14
devagandharvalokāṃś ca viceṣyāmaḥ samāhitāḥ
yāvan nādhigamiṣyāmas tava bhāryāpahāriṇam
15
na cet sāmnā pradāsyanti patnīṃ te tridaśeśvarāḥ
kosalendra tataḥ paścāt prāptakālaṃ kariṣyasi
16
śīlena sāmnā vinayena sītāṃ; nayena na prāpsyasi cen narendra
tataḥ samutsādaya hemapuṅkhair; mahendravajrapratimaiḥ śaraughaiḥ
