Chapter 2
1
taṃ tu śokaparidyūnaṃ rāmaṃ daśarathātmajam
uvāca vacanaṃ śrīmān sugrīvaḥ śokanāśanam
2
kiṃ tvaṃ saṃtapyase vīra yathānyaḥ prākṛtas tathā
maivaṃ bhūs tyaja saṃtāpaṃ kṛtaghna iva sauhṛdam
3
saṃtāpasya ca te sthānaṃ na hi paśyāmi rāghava
pravṛttāv upalabdhāyāṃ jñāte ca nilaye ripoḥ
4
dhṛtimāñ śāstravit prājñaḥ paṇḍitaś cāsi rāghava
tyajemāṃ pāpikāṃ buddhiṃ kṛtvātmevārthadūṣaṇīm
5
samudraṃ laṅghayitvā tu mahānakrasamākulam
laṅkām ārohayiṣyāmo haniṣyāmaś ca te ripum
6
nirutsāhasya dīnasya śokaparyākulātmanaḥ
sarvārthā vyavasīdanti vyasanaṃ cādhigacchati
7
ime śūrāḥ samarthāś ca sarve no hariyūthapāḥ
tvatpriyārthaṃ kṛtotsāhāḥ praveṣṭum api pāvakam
8
eṣāṃ harṣeṇa jānāmi tarkaś cāsmin dṛḍho mama
vikrameṇa samāneṣye sītāṃ hatvā yathā ripum
9
setur atra yathā vadhyed yathā paśyema tāṃ purīm
tasya rākṣasarājasya tathā tvaṃ kuru rāghava
10
dṛṣṭvā tāṃ hi purīṃ laṅkāṃ trikūṭaśikhare sthitām
hataṃ ca rāvaṇaṃ yuddhe darśanād upadhāraya
11
setubaddhaḥ samudre ca yāval laṅkā samīpataḥ
sarvaṃ tīrṇaṃ ca vai sainyaṃ jitam ity upadhāryatām
12
ime hi samare śūrā harayaḥ kāmarūpiṇaḥ
tad alaṃ viklavā buddhī rājan sarvārthanāśanī
13
puruṣasya hi loke 'smiñ śokaḥ śauryāpakarṣaṇaḥ
yat tu kāryaṃ manuṣyeṇa śauṇḍīryam avalambatā
śūrāṇāṃ hi manuṣyāṇāṃ tvadvidhānāṃ mahātmanām
14
vinaṣṭe vā pranaṣṭe vā śokaḥ sarvārthanāśanaḥ
tvaṃ tu buddhimatāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ sarvaśāstrārthakovidaḥ
15
madvidhaiḥ sacivaiḥ sārtham ariṃ jetum ihārhasi
na hi paśyāmy ahaṃ kaṃ cit triṣu lokeṣu rāghava
16
gṛhītadhanuṣo yas te tiṣṭhed abhimukho raṇe
vānareṣu samāsaktaṃ na te kāryaṃ vipatsyate
17
acirād drakṣyase sītāṃ tīrtvā sāgaram akṣayam
tad alaṃ śokam ālambya krodham ālamba bhūpate
18
niśceṣṭāḥ kṣatriyā mandāḥ sarve caṇḍasya bibhyati
laṅganārthaṃ ca ghorasya samudrasya nadīpateḥ
19
sahāsmābhir ihopetaḥ sūkṣmabuddhir vicāraya
ime hi samare śūrā harayaḥ kāmarūpiṇaḥ
20
tān arīn vidhamiṣyanti śilāpādapavṛṣṭibhiḥ
kathaṃ cit paripaśyāmas te vayaṃ varuṇālayam
21
kim uktvā bahudhā cāpi sarvathā vijayī bhavān
