1
rudhiraklinnagātras tu lakṣmaṇaḥ śubhalakṣaṇaḥ
babhūva hṛṣṭas taṃ hatvā śakrajetāram āhave
2
tataḥ sa jāmbavantaṃ ca hanūmantaṃ ca vīryavān
saṃnivartya mahātejās tāṃś ca sarvān vanaukasaḥ
3
ājagāma tataḥ śīghraṃ yatra sugrīvarāghavau
vibhīṣaṇam avaṣṭabhya hanūmantaṃ ca lakṣmaṇaḥ
4
tato rāmam abhikramya saumitrir abhivādya ca
tasthau bhrātṛsamīpasthaḥ śakrasyendrānujo yathā
ācacakṣe tadā vīro ghoram indrajito vadham
5
rāvaṇas tu śiraś chinnaṃ lakṣmaṇena mahātmanā
nyavedayata rāmāya tadā hṛṣṭo vibhīṣaṇaḥ
6
upaveśya tam utsaṅge pariṣvajyāvapīḍitam
mūrdhni cainam upāghrāya bhūyaḥ saṃspṛśya ca tvaran
uvāca lakṣmaṇaṃ vākyam āśvāsya puruṣarṣabhaḥ
7
kṛtaṃ paramakalyāṇaṃ karma duṣkarakāriṇā
niramitraḥ kṛto 'smy adya niryāsyati hi rāvaṇaḥ
balavyūhena mahatā śrutvā putraṃ nipātitam
8
taṃ putravadhasaṃtaptaṃ niryāntaṃ rākṣasādhipam
balenāvṛtya mahatā nihaniṣyāmi durjayam
9
tvayā lakṣmaṇa nāthena sītā ca pṛthivī ca me
na duṣprāpā hate tv adya śakrajetari cāhave
10
sa taṃ bhrātaram āśvāsya pāriṣvajya ca rāghavaḥ
rāmaḥ suṣeṇaṃ muditaḥ samābhāṣyedam abravīt
11
saśalyo 'yaṃ mahāprājñaḥ saumitrir mitravatsalaḥ
yathā bhavati susvasthas tathā tvaṃ samupācara
viśalyaḥ kriyatāṃ kṣipraṃ saumitriḥ savibhīṣaṇaḥ
12
kṛṣa vānarasainyānāṃ śūrāṇāṃ drumayodhinām
ye cānye 'tra ca yudhyantaḥ saśalyā vraṇinas tathā
te 'pi sarve prayatnena kriyantāṃ sukhinas tvayā
13
evam uktaḥ sa rāmeṇa mahātmā hariyūthapaḥ
lakṣmaṇāya dadau nastaḥ suṣeṇaḥ paramauṣadham
14
sa tasya gandham āghrāya viśalyaḥ samapadyata
tadā nirvedanaś caiva saṃrūḍhavraṇa eva ca
15
vibhīṣaṇa mukhānāṃ ca suhṛdāṃ rāghavājñayā
sarvavānaramukhyānāṃ cikitsāṃ sa tadākarot
16
tataḥ prakṛtim āpanno hṛtaśalyo gatavyathaḥ
saumitrir muditas tatra kṣaṇena vigatajvaraḥ
17
tathaiva rāmaḥ plavagādhipas tadā; vibhīṣaṇaś carkṣapatiś ca jāmbavān
avekṣya saumitrim arogam utthitaṃ; mudā sasainyaḥ suciraṃ jaharṣire
18
apūjayat karma sa lakṣmaṇasya; suduṣkaraṃ dāśarathir mahātmā
hṛṣṭā babhūvur yudhi yūthapendrā; niśamya taṃ śakrajitaṃ nipātitam
