1
rāghavaś cāpi vipulaṃ taṃ rākṣasavanaukasām
śrutvā saṃgrāmanirghoṣaṃ jāmbavantam uvāca ha
2
saumya nūnaṃ hanumatā kṛtaṃ karma suduṣkaram
śrūyate hi yathā bhīmaḥ sumahān āyudhasvanaḥ
3
tad gaccha kuru sāhāyyaṃ svabalenābhisaṃvṛtaḥ
kṣipram ṛṣkapate tasya kapiśreṣṭhasya yudhyataḥ
4
ṛkṣarājas tathety uktvā svenānīkena saṃvṛtaḥ
āgacchat paścimadvāraṃ hanūmān yatra vānaraḥ
5
athāyāntaṃ hanūmantaṃ dadarśarkṣapatiḥ pathi
vānaraiḥ kṛtasaṃgrāmaiḥ śvasadbhir abhisaṃvṛtam
6
dṛṣṭvā pathi hanūmāṃś ca tad ṛṣkabalam udyatam
nīlameghanibhaṃ bhīmaṃ saṃnivārya nyavartata
7

tad ahaṃ bhavato vṛttaṃ vijñāpayitum āgataḥ
10
tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā rāghavaḥ śokamūrchitaḥ
nipapāta tadā bhūmau chinnamūla iva drumaḥ
11
taṃ bhūmau devasaṃkāśaṃ patitaṃ dṛśya rāghavam
abhipetuḥ samutpatya sarvataḥ kapisattamāḥ
12
asiñcan salilaiś cainaṃ padmotpalasugandhibhiḥ
pradahantam asahyaṃ ca sahasāgnim ivotthitam
13
taṃ lakṣmaṇo 'tha bāhubhyāṃ pariṣvajya suduḥkhitaḥ
uvāca rāmam asvasthaṃ vākyaṃ hetvarthasaṃhitam
14
śubhe vartmani tiṣṭhantaṃ tvām āryavijitendriyam
anarthebhyo na śaknoti trātuṃ dharmo nirarthakaḥ
15
bhūtānāṃ sthāvarāṇāṃ ca jaṅgamānāṃ ca darśanam
yathāsti na tathā dharmas tena nāstīti me matiḥ
16
yathaiva sthāvaraṃ vyaktaṃ jaṅgamaṃ ca tathāvidham
nāyam arthas tathā yuktas tvadvidho na vipadyate
17
yady adharmo bhaved bhūto rāvaṇo narakaṃ vrajet
bhavāṃś ca dharmasaṃyukto naivaṃ vyasanam āpnuyāt
18
tasya ca vyasanābhāvād vyasanaṃ ca gate tvayi
dharmeṇopalabhed dharmam adharmaṃ cāpy adharmataḥ
19
yadi dharmeṇa yujyeran nādharmarucayo janāḥ
dharmeṇa caratāṃ dharmas tathā caiṣāṃ phalaṃ bhavet
20
yasmād arthā vivardhante yeṣv adharmaḥ pratiṣṭhitaḥ
kliśyante dharmaśīlāś ca tasmād etau nirarthakau
21
vadhyante pāpakarmāṇo yady adharmeṇa rāghava
vadhakarmahato dharmaḥ sa hataḥ kaṃ vadhiṣyati
22
atha vā vihitenāyaṃ hanyate hanti vā param
vidhir ālipyate tena na sa pāpena karmaṇā
23
adṛṣṭapratikāreṇa avyaktenāsatā satā
kathaṃ śakyaṃ paraṃ prāptuṃ dharmeṇārivikarśana
24
yadi sat syāt satāṃ mukhya nāsat syāt tava kiṃ cana
tvayā yadīdṛśaṃ prāptaṃ tasmāt san nopapadyate
25
atha vā durbalaḥ klībo balaṃ dharmo 'nuvartate
durbalo hṛtamaryādo na sevya iti me matiḥ
26
balasya yadi ced dharmo guṇabhūtaḥ parākrame
dharmam utsṛjya vartasva yathā dharme tathā bale
27
atha cet satyavacanaṃ dharmaḥ kila paraṃtapa
anṛtas tvayy akaruṇaḥ kiṃ na baddhas tvayā pitā
28
yadi dharmo bhaved bhūta adharmo vā paraṃtapa
na sma hatvā muniṃ vajrī kuryād ijyāṃ śatakratuḥ
29
adharmasaṃśrito dharmo vināśayati rāghava
sarvam etad yathākāmaṃ kākutstha kurute naraḥ
30
mama cedaṃ mataṃ tāta dharmo 'yam iti rāghava
dharmamūlaṃ tvayā chinnaṃ rājyam utsṛjatā tadā
31
arthebhyo hi vivṛddhebhyaḥ saṃvṛddhebhyas tatas tataḥ

32
arthena hi viyuktasya puruṣasyālpatejasaḥ
vyucchidyante kriyāḥ sarvā grīṣme kusarito yathā
33
so 'yam arthaṃ parityajya sukhakāmaḥ sukhaidhitaḥ
pāpam ārabhate kartuṃ tathā doṣaḥ pravartate
34
yasyārthās tasya mitrāṇi yasyārthās tasya bāndhavaḥ
yasyārthāḥ sa pumāṁl loke yasyārthāḥ sa ca paṇḍitaḥ
35
yasyārthāḥ sa ca vikrānto yasyārthāḥ sa ca buddhimān
yasyārthāḥ sa mahābhāgo yasyārthāḥ sa mahāguṇaḥ
36

rājyam utsṛjatā vīra yena buddhis tvayā kṛtā
37
yasyārthā dharmakāmārthās tasya sarvaṃ pradakṣiṇam
adhanenārthakāmena nārthaḥ śakyo vicinvatā
38
harṣaḥ kāmaś ca darpaś ca dharmaḥ krodhaḥ śamo damaḥ
arthād etāni sarvāṇi pravartante narādhipa
39
yeṣāṃ naśyaty ayaṃ lokaś caratāṃ dharmacāriṇām
te 'rthās tvayi na dṛśyante durdineṣu yathā grahāḥ
40
tvayi pravrajite vīra guroś ca vacane sthite
rakṣasāpahṛtā bhāryā prāṇaiḥ priyatarā tava
41
tad adya vipulaṃ vīra duḥkham indrajitā kṛtam
karmaṇā vyapaneṣyāmi tasmād uttiṣṭha rāghava
42
ayam anagha tavoditaḥ priyārthaṃ; janakasutā nidhanaṃ nirīkṣya ruṣṭaḥ
sahayagajarathāṃ sarākṣasendrāṃ; bhṛśam iṣubhir vinipātayāmi laṅkām
