2
kṛtaṃ hanumatā kāryaṃ sumahad bhuvi duṣkaram
manasāpi yad anyena na śakyaṃ dharaṇītale
3
na hi taṃ paripaśyāmi yas tareta mahārṇavam

4

apradhṛṣyāṃ purīṃ laṅkāṃ rāvaṇena surakṣitām
5
praviṣṭaḥ sattvam āśritya jīvan ko nāma niṣkramet
ko viśet sudurādharṣāṃ rākṣasaiś ca surakṣitām
yo vīryabalasaṃpanno na samaḥ syād dhanūmataḥ
6

evaṃ vidhāya svabalaṃ sadṛśaṃ vikramasya ca
7
yo hi bhṛtyo niyuktaḥ san bhartrā karmaṇi duṣkare

vaidehyā darśanenādya dharmataḥ parirakṣitāḥ
11
idaṃ tu mama dīnasyā mano bhūyaḥ prakarṣati
yad ihāsya priyākhyātur na kurmi sadṛśaṃ priyam
12
eṣa sarvasvabhūtas tu pariṣvaṅgo hanūmataḥ
mayā kālam imaṃ prāpya dattas tasya mahātmanaḥ
13
sarvathā sukṛtaṃ tāvat sītāyāḥ parimārgaṇam
sāgaraṃ tu samāsādya punar naṣṭaṃ mano mama
14
kathaṃ nāma samudrasya duṣpārasya mahāmbhasaḥ
harayo dakṣiṇaṃ pāraṃ gamiṣyanti samāhitāḥ
15
yady apy eṣa tu vṛttānto vaidehyā gadito mama
samudrapāragamane harīṇāṃ kim ivottaram
16
ity uktvā śokasaṃbhrānto rāmaḥ śatrunibarhaṇaḥ
hanūmantaṃ mahābāhus tato dhyānam upāgamat
