अयोध्याकाण्डम्Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa

tat śrutvā nipuṇam sarvam bharataḥ saha mantribhiḥ ।
ingudī mūlam āgamya rāma śayyām avekṣya tām ॥

abravīd jananīḥ sarvā iha tena mahātmanā ।
śarvarī śayitā bhūmāu idam asya vimarditam ॥

mahā bhāga kulīnena mahā bhāgena dhīmatā ।
jāto daśarathena ūrvyām na rāmaḥ svaptum arhati ॥

ajina uttara samstīrṇe vara āstaraṇa samcaye ।
śayitvā puruṣa vyāghraḥ katham śete mahī tale ॥

prāsāda agra vimāneṣu valabhīṣu ca sarvadā ।
haima rājata bhaumeṣu vara āstraraṇa śāliṣu ॥

puṣpa samcaya citreṣu candana agaru gandhiṣu ।
pāṇḍura abhra prakāśeṣu śuka samgha ruteṣu ca ॥

prāsādavaravaryeṣu śītavatsu sugandhiṣu ।
uṣitvā merukalpeṣu kṛtakāmcanabhittiṣu ॥

gīta vāditra nirghoṣair vara ābharaṇa nihsvanaiḥ ।
mṛdanga vara śabdaiḥ ca satatam pratibodhitaḥ ॥

bandibhir vanditaḥ kāle bahubhiḥ sūta māgadhaiḥ ।
gāthābhir anurūpābhiḥ stutibhiḥ ca paramtapaḥ ॥

aśraddheyam idam loke na satyam pratibhāti mā ।
muhyate khalu me bhāvaḥ svapno ayam iti me matiḥ ॥

na nūnam daivatam kimcit kālena balavattaram ।
yatra dāśarathī rāmo bhūmāu evam śayīta saḥ ॥

videha rājasya sutā sītā ca priya darśanā ।
dayitā śayitā bhūmau snuṣā daśarathasya ca ॥

iyam śayyā mama bhrātur idam hi parivartitam ।
sthaṇḍile kaṭhine sarvam gātrair vimṛditam tṛṇam ॥

manye sābharaṇā suptā sītā asmin śayane tadā ।
tatra tatra hi dṛśyante saktāḥ kanaka bindavaḥ ॥

uttarīyam iha āsaktam suvyaktam sītayā tadā ।
tathā hy ete prakāśante saktāḥ kauśeya tantavaḥ ॥

manye bhartuḥ sukhā śayyā yena bālā tapasvinī ।
sukumārī satī duhkham na vijānāti maithilī ॥

hā hantāsmi nṛśamso'ham yatsabhāryaḥ kṛtemama ।
īdṛśīṁ rāghavaḥ śayyāmadhiśete hyānāthavat ॥

sārvabhauma kule jātaḥ sarva loka sukha āvahaḥ ।
sarva loka priyaḥ tyaktvā rājyam priyam anuttamam ॥

katham indīvara śyāmo rakta akṣaḥ priya darśanaḥ ।
sukha bhāgī ca duhkha arhaḥ śayito bhuvi rāghavaḥ ॥

dhanyaḥ khalu mahābhāgo lakṣmaṇaḥ śubhalakṣamaṇaḥ ।
bhrātaram viṣame kāle yo rāmamanuvartate ॥

siddha arthā khalu vaidehī patim yā anugatā vanam ।
vayam samśayitāḥ sarve hīnāḥ tena mahātmanā ॥

akarṇa dhārā pṛthivī śūnyā iva pratibhāti mā ।
gate daśarathe svarge rāme ca araṇyam āśrite ॥

na ca prārthayate kaścin manasā api vasumdharām ।
vane api vasataḥ tasya bāhu vīrya abhirakṣitām ॥

śūnya samvaraṇā rakṣām ayantrita haya dvipām ।
apāvṛta pura dvārām rāja dhānīm arakṣitām ॥

aprahṛṣṭa balām nyūnām viṣamasthām anāvṛtām ।
śatravo na abhimanyante bhakṣyān viṣa kṛtān iva ॥

adya prabhṛti bhūmau tu śayiṣye aham tṛṇeṣu vā ।
phala mūla aśano nityam jaṭā cīrāṇi dhārayan ॥

tasya artham uttaram kālam nivatsyāmi sukham vane ।
tam pratiśravam āmucya na asya mithyā bhaviṣyati ॥

vasantam bhrātur arthāya śatrughno mā anuvatsyati ।
lakṣmaṇena saha tu āryo ayodhyām pālayiṣyati ॥

abhiṣekṣyanti kākutstham ayodhyāyām dvijātayaḥ ।
api me devatāḥ kuryur imam satyam mano ratham ।
prasādyamānaḥ śirasā mayā svayam ।
bahu prakāram yadi na prapatsyate ॥

tatonruvatsayāmi cirāya rāghavam ।
vanecaram nahruti māmrupekṣitrum ॥
