Chapter 21
1
tato nipatitāṃ tārāṃ cyutāṃ tārām ivāmbarāt
śanair āśvāsayām āsa hanūmān hariyūthapaḥ
2
guṇadoṣakṛtaṃ jantuḥ svakarmaphalahetukam
avyagras tad avāpnoti sarvaṃ pretya śubhāśubham
3
śocyā śocasi kaṃ śocyaṃ dīnaṃ dīnānukampase
kaś ca kasyānuśocyo 'sti dehe 'smin budbudopame
4
aṅgadas tu kumāro 'yaṃ draṣṭavyo jīvaputrayā
āyatyā ca vidheyāni samarthāny asya cintaya
5
jānāsy aniyatām evaṃ bhūtānām āgatiṃ gatim
tasmāc chubhaṃ hi kartavyaṃ paṇḍite naihalaukikam
6
yasmin harisahasrāṇi prayutāny arbudāni ca
vartayanti kṛtāṃśāni so 'yaṃ diṣṭāntam āgataḥ
7
yad ayaṃ nyāyadṛṣṭārthaḥ sāmadānakṣamāparaḥ
gato dharmajitāṃ bhūmiṃ nainaṃ śocitum arhasi
8
sarve ca hariśārdūla putraś cāyaṃ tavāṅgadaḥ
haryṛṣkapatirājyaṃ ca tvatsanātham anindite
9
tāv imau śokasaṃtaptau śanaiḥ preraya bhāmini
tvayā parigṛhīto 'yam aṅgadaḥ śāstu medinīm
10
saṃtatiś ca yathādṛṣṭā kṛtyaṃ yac cāpi sāmpratam
rājñas tat kriyatāṃ sarvam eṣa kālasya niścayaḥ
11
saṃskāryo harirājas tu aṅgadaś cābhiṣicyatām
siṃhāsanagataṃ putraṃ paśyantī śāntim eṣyasi
12
sā tasya vacanaṃ śrutvā bhartṛvyasanapīḍitā
abravīd uttaraṃ tārā hanūmantam avasthitam
13
aṅgada pratirūpāṇāṃ putrāṇām ekataḥ śatam
hatasyāpy asya vīrasya gātrasaṃśleṣaṇaṃ varam
14
na cāhaṃ harirājasya prabhavāmy aṅgadasya vā
pitṛvyastasya sugrīvaḥ sarvakāryeṣv anantaraḥ
15
na hy eṣā buddhir āstheyā hanūmann aṅgadaṃ prati
pitā hi bandhuḥ putrasya na mātā harisattama
16
na hi mama harirājasaṃśrayāt; kṣamataram asti paratra ceha vā
abhimukhahatavīrasevitaṃ; śayanam idaṃ mama sevituṃ kṣamam
