किष्किन्धाकाण्डम्Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa

tataḥ krodha samāviṣṭam samrabdham tam upāgatam ।
aham prasādayān cakre bhrātaram hita kāmyayā ॥

diṣṭyā asi kuśalī prāpto nihataḥ ca tvayā ripuḥ ।
anāthasya hi me nāthaḥ tvam eko anātha nandanaḥ ॥

idam bahu śalākam te pūrṇa candram iva uditam ।
chatram sa vāla vyajanam pratīcchasva mayā dhṛtam ॥

ārtasya atha bilā dvāri sthitaḥ saṁvatsaram nṛpa ।
dṛṣṭvā ca śoṇitam dvāri bilāt ca api samutthitam ॥

śoka saṁvigna hṛdayo bhṛśam vyākulita indriyaḥ ।
apidhāya bila dvāram śaila śṛṅgeṇa tat tadā ॥

tasmāt deśāt apākramya kiṣkindhām prāviśam punaḥ ।

rājabhāve niyukto aham śūnya deśa jigīṣayā ।
snigdham evam bruvāṇam mām sa vinirbhartsya vānaraḥ ॥

dhik tvām iti ca mām uktvā bahu tat tat uvāca ha ।
prakṛtīḥ ca samānīya maṁtriṇaḥ caiva sammatān ॥

mām āha suhṛdām madhye vākyam parama garhitam ।
viditam vo mayā rātrau māyāvī sa mahāasuraḥ ॥

mām samāhvayata kruddho yuddha kāṁkṣī tadā purā ।
tasya tad bhāṣitam śrutvā niḥsṛtaḥ aham nṛpāalayāt ॥

anuyātaḥ ca mām tūrṇam ayam bhrātā sudāruṇaḥ ।

prādravat bhaya saṁtrasto vīkṣya āvām samupāgatau ।
abhidrutaḥ tu vegena viveśa sa mahābilam ॥

tam praviṣṭam viditvā tu sughoram sumahad bilam ।
ayam ukto atha me bhrātā mayā tu krūra darśanaḥ ॥

ahatvā na asti me śaktiḥ prati gantum itaḥ purīm ।
bila dvāri pratīkṣa tvam yāvat enam nihanmi aham ॥

sthito'yam iti matvā aham praviṣṭaḥ tu durāsadam ।
tam me mārgayataḥ tatra gataḥ saṁvatsaraḥ tadā ॥

sūdayitvā tu tam śatrum vikrāntam tam aham sukham ।
niṣkrāmam na eva paśyāmi bilasya pihitam mukham ॥

vikrośamānasya tu me sugrīva iti punaḥ punaḥ ।
yataḥ prativaco nāsti tataḥ aham bhṛśa duḥkhitaḥ ॥

pāda prahāraiḥ tu mayā bahubhiḥ paripātitam ।
tataḥ aham tena niṣkramya pathā puram upāgataḥ ॥

tatra anena asmi samruddhaḥ rājyam mṛgayata ātmanaḥ ।

kartum arhasi me vīra prasādam tasya nigrahāt ॥

evam uktaḥ sa tejasvī dharmajño dharma saṁhitam ।
vacanam vaktum ārebhe sugrīvam prahasan iva ॥

amoghāḥ sūrya saṁkāśā niśitā me śarā ime ।
tasmin vālini durvṛtte patiṣyanti ruṣa anvitāḥ ॥

yāvat tam na hi paśyeyam tava bhārya apahāriṇam ।
tāvat sa jīvet pāpātmā vālī cāritra dūṣakaḥ ॥

ātma anumānāt paśyāmi magnaḥ tvām śoka sāgare ।
tvām aham tārayiṣyāmi bāḍham prāpsyasi puṣkalam ॥

tasya tat vacanam śrutvā harṣa pauruṣa vardhanam ।
sugrīvaḥ parama prītaḥ su mahat vākyam abravīt ॥
