Chapter 44
1
tad ugraśāsanaṃ bhartur vijñāya haripuṃgavāḥ
śalabhā iva saṃchādya medinīṃ saṃpratasthire
2
rāmaḥ prasravaṇe tasmin nyavasat sahalakṣmaṇaḥ
pratīkṣamāṇas taṃ māsaṃ yaḥ sītādhigame kṛtaḥ
3
uttarāṃ tu diśaṃ ramyāṃ girirājasamāvṛtām
pratasthe sahasā vīro hariḥ śatabalis tadā
4
pūrvāṃ diśaṃ prati yayau vinato hariyūthapaḥ
5
tārāṅgadādi sahitaḥ plavagaḥ pavanātmajaḥ
agastyacaritām āśāṃ dakṣiṇāṃ hariyūthapaḥ
6
paścimāṃ tu diśaṃ ghorāṃ suṣeṇaḥ plavageśvaraḥ
pratasthe hariśārdūlo bhṛśaṃ varuṇapālitām
7
tataḥ sarvā diśo rājā codayitvā yathā tatham
kapisenā patīn mukhyān mumoda sukhitaḥ sukham
8
evaṃ saṃcoditāḥ sarve rājñā vānarayūthapāḥ
svāṃ svāṃ diśam abhipretya tvaritāḥ saṃpratasthire
9
nadantaś connadantaś ca garjantaś ca plavaṃgamāḥ
kṣvelanto dhāvamānāś ca yayuḥ plavagasattamāḥ
ānayiṣyāmahe sītāṃ haniṣyāmaś ca rāvaṇam
10
aham eko haniṣyāmi prāptaṃ rāvaṇam āhave
tataś conmathya sahasā hariṣye janakātmajām
11
vepamānaṃ śrameṇādya bhavadbhiḥ sthīyatām iti
eka evāhariṣyāmi pātālād api jānakīm
12
vidhamiṣyāmy ahaṃ vṛkṣān dārayiṣyāmy ahaṃ girīn
dharaṇīṃ dārayiṣyāmi kṣobhayiṣyāmi sāgarān
13
ahaṃ yojanasaṃkhyāyāḥ plavitā nātra saṃśayaḥ
śataṃ yojanasaṃkhyāyāḥ śataṃ samadhikaṃ hy aham
14
bhūtale sāgare vāpi śaileṣu ca vaneṣu ca
pātālasyāpi vā madhye na mamācchidyate gatiḥ
15
ity ekaikaṃ tadā tatra vānarā baladarpitāḥ
ūcuś ca vacanaṃ tasmin harirājasya saṃnidhau
