Chapter 35
1
ity uktas tārayā vākyaṃ praśritaṃ dharmasaṃhitam
mṛdusvabhāvaḥ saumitriḥ pratijagrāha tadvacaḥ
2
tasmin pratigṛhīte tu vākye harigaṇeśvaraḥ
lakṣmaṇāt sumahat trāsaṃ vastraṃ klinnam ivātyajat
3
tataḥ kaṇṭhagataṃ mālyaṃ citraṃ bahuguṇaṃ mahat
ciccheda vimadaś cāsīt sugrīvo vānareśvaraḥ
4
sa lakṣmaṇaṃ bhīmabalaṃ sarvavānarasattamaḥ
abravīt praśritaṃ vākyaṃ sugrīvaḥ saṃpraharṣayan
5
pranaṣṭā śrīś ca kīrtiś ca kapirājyaṃ ca śāśvatam
rāmaprasādāt saumitre punaḥ prāptam idaṃ mayā
6
kaḥ śaktas tasya devasya khyātasya svena karmaṇā
tādṛśaṃ vikramaṃ vīra pratikartum ariṃdama
7
sītāṃ prāpsyati dharmātmā vadhiṣyati ca rāvaṇam
sahāyamātreṇa mayā rāghavaḥ svena tejasā
8
sahāyakṛtyaṃ hi tasya yena sapta mahādrumāḥ
śailaś ca vasudhā caiva bāṇenaikena dāritāḥ
9
dhanur visphāramāṇasya yasya śabdena lakṣmaṇa
saśailā kampitā bhūmiḥ sahāyais tasya kiṃ nu vai
10
anuyātrāṃ narendrasya kariṣye 'haṃ nararṣabha
gacchato rāvaṇaṃ hantuṃ vairiṇaṃ sapuraḥsaram
11
yadi kiṃ cid atikrāntaṃ viśvāsāt praṇayena vā
preṣyasya kṣamitavyaṃ me na kaś cin nāparādhyati
12
iti tasya bruvāṇasya sugrīvasya mahātmanaḥ
abhaval lakṣmaṇaḥ prītaḥ preṃṇā cedam uvāca ha
13
sarvathā hi mama bhrātā sanātho vānareśvara
tvayā nāthena sugrīva praśritena viśeṣataḥ
14
yas te prabhāvaḥ sugrīva yac ca te śaucam uttamam
arhas taṃ kapirājyasya śriyaṃ bhoktum anuttamām
15
sahāyena ca sugrīva tvayā rāmaḥ pratāpavān
vadhiṣyati raṇe śatrūn acirān nātra saṃśayaḥ
16
dharmajñasya kṛtajñasya saṃgrāmeṣv anivartinaḥ
upapannaṃ ca yuktaṃ ca sugrīva tava bhāṣitam
17
doṣajñaḥ sati sāmarthye ko 'nyo bhāṣitum arhati
varjayitvā mama jyeṣṭhaṃ tvāṃ ca vānarasattama
18
sadṛśaś cāsi rāmasya vikrameṇa balena ca
sahāyo daivatair dattaś cirāya haripuṃgava
19
kiṃ tu śīghram ito vīra niṣkrāma tvaṃ mayā saha
sāntvayasva vayasyaṃ ca bhāryāharaṇaduḥkhitam
20
yac ca śokābhibhūtasya śrutvā rāmasya bhāṣitam
mayā tvaṃ paruṣāṇy uktas tac ca tvaṃ kṣantum arhasi
