1
tatas tad dāruṇaṃ karma duṣkaraṃ sāhasāt kṛtam
ācacakṣe muneḥ sarvaṃ sūryānugamanaṃ tathā
2
bhagavan vraṇayuktatvāl lajjayā cākulendriyaḥ
pariśrānto na śaknomi vacanaṃ paribhāṣitum
3

ākāśaṃ patitau vīrau jighāsantau parākramam
4
kailāsaśikhare baddhvā munīnām agrataḥ paṇam
raviḥ syād anuyātavyo yāvad astaṃ mahāgirim
5

rathacakrapramāṇāni nagarāṇi pṛthak pṛthak
6
kva cid vāditraghoṣāṃś ca brahmaghoṣāṃś ca śuśruva
gāyantīś cāṅganā bahvīḥ paśyāvo raktavāsasaḥ
7

āpagābhiś ca saṃvītā sūtrair iva vasuṃdharā
9
himavāṃś caiva vindhyaś ca meruś ca sumahān nagaḥ
bhūtale saṃprakāśante nāgā iva jalāśaye
10
tīvrasvedaś ca khedaś ca bhayaṃ cāsīt tadāvayoḥ
samāviśata mohaś ca mohān mūrchā ca dāruṇā
11
na dig vijñāyate yāmyā nāgenyā na ca vāruṇī
yugānte niyato loko hato dagdha ivāgninā
12
yatnena mahatā bhūyo raviḥ samavalokitaḥ
tulyaḥ pṛthvīpramāṇena bhāskaraḥ pratibhāti nau
13
jaṭāyur mām anāpṛcchya nipapāta mahīṃ tataḥ
taṃ dṛṣṭvā tūrṇam ākāśād ātmānaṃ muktavān aham
14
pakṣibhyāṃ ca mayā gupto jaṭāyur na pradahyata
pramādāt tatra nirdagdhaḥ patan vāyupathād aham
15
āśaṅke taṃ nipatitaṃ janasthāne jaṭāyuṣam
ahaṃ tu patito vindhye dagdhapakṣo jaḍīkṛtaḥ
16
rājyena hīno bhrātrā ca pakṣābhyāṃ vikrameṇa ca
sarvathā martum evecchan patiṣye śikharād gireḥ
