अयोध्याकाण्डम्Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa

atat arham mahā rājam śayānam atathā ucitam ।
yayātim iva puṇya ante deva lokāt paricyutam ॥

anartha rūpā siddha arthāabhītā bhaya darśinī ।
punar ākārayām āsa tam eva varam anganā ॥

tvam katthase mahā rāja satya vādī dRḍha vrataḥ ।
mama ca imam varam kasmāt vidhārayitum iccasi ॥

evam uktaḥ tu kaikeyyā rājā daśa rathaḥ tadā ।
pratyuvāca tataḥ kruddho muhūrtam vihvalann iva ॥

mRte mayi gate rāme vanam manuja pumgave ।
hanta anārye mama amitre rāmaḥ pravrājitaḥ vanam ॥

svarge'pi khalu rāmasya kuśalaṁ daivatairahm ।
pratyādeśādabhihitaṁ dhārayiṣye kathaṁ bata ॥

kaikeyyāḥ priyakāmena rāmaḥ pravrājito mayā ।
yadi satyam bravīmy etat tat asatyam bhaviṣyati ॥

aputreṇa mayā putraḥ śrameṇa mahatā mahān ।
rāmo labdho mahābāhuḥ sa kathaṁ tyajyate mayā ॥

śūrśca kṛtavidyaśca jitakrodhaḥ kṣamāparaḥ ।
kathaṁ kamalapatrākṣo mayā rāmo vivāsyate ॥

kathamindīvaraśyāmaṁ dīrghabāhuṁ mahābalam ।
abhirāmamahaṁ rāmam preṣayiṣyāmi daṇḍakān ॥

sukhānāmucitasyaiva duḥkhairanucitasya ca ।
duḥkhaṁ nāmānupaśyeyaṁ kathaṁ rāmasya dhīmataḥ ॥

yadi duḥkhamakṛtvādya mama saṁkramaṇaṁ bhavet ।
aduḥkhārhasya rāmasya tataḥ sukhamavāpnu yām ॥

nṛśaṁse pāpasaṁkalpe rāmaṁ styaparākramam ।
kim vipriyeṇa kaikeyi priyaṁ yojayase mama ॥

akīrtiratulā loke dhruvaḥ paribhavaśca me ।
tathā vilapataḥ tasya paribhramita cetasaḥ ॥

astam abhyagamat sūryo rajanī ca abhyavartata ।
sā tri yāmā tathā ārtasya candra maṇḍala maṇḍitā ॥

rājño vilapamānasya na vyabhāsata śarvarī ।
tathaiva uṣṇam vinihśvasya vRddho daśaratho nRpaḥ ॥

vilalāpa ārtavad duhkham gagana āsakta locanaḥ ।
na prabhātam tvayā iccāmi mayā ayam racitaḥ anjaliḥ ॥

athavā gamyatām śīghram na aham iccāmi nirghRṇām ।
atha vā gamyatāṁ śīghraṁ nāhamicchāmi nirghṛṇām ॥

nRśamsām kaikeyīm draṣṭum yat kRte vyasanam mahat ।
evam uktvā tataḥ rājā kaikeyīm samyata anjaliḥ ॥

prasādayām āsa punaḥ kaikeyīm ca idam abravīt ।
sādhu vRttasya dīnasya tvad gatasya gata āyuṣaḥ ॥

prasādaḥ kriyatām devi bhadre rājño viśeṣataḥ ।
śūnyena khalu suśroṇi mayā idam samudāhRtam ॥

kuru sādhu prasādam me bāle sahRdayā hi asi ।
prasīda devi rāmo me tvaddhattaṁ rājyamavyayam ॥

labhatāmasitāpāṅge yaśaḥ paramavāpnuhi ।
mama rāmasya lokasya gurūṇāṁ bharatasya ca ॥

priyametadguruśroṇi kuru cārumukhekṣaṇe ।
viśuddha bhāvasya su duṣṭa bhāvā ।
dīnasya tāmrāśrukalasya rājñaḥ ।
śrutvā vicitram karuṇam vilāpam ।
bhartur nRśamsā na cakāra vākyam ॥

tataḥ sa rājā punar eva mūrcitaḥ ।
priyām atuṣṭām pratikūla bhāṣiṇīm ।
samīkṣya putrasya vivāsanam prati ।
kṣitau visamjño nipapāta duhkhitaḥ ॥

itīva rājño vythitasya sā niśā ।
jagāma ghoraṁ svasato manasvinaḥ ।
vibodhyamānaḥ pratibodhanaṁ tadā ।
nivārayāmāsa sa rājasattamaḥ ॥
