etaiḥ anyaiḥ ca bahubhiḥ vākyaiḥ vākya viśāradaḥ ।
mām praśasya abhyanujñāpya praviṣṭaḥ sa svam ālayam ॥

kaṁdarāt tu visarpitvā parvatasya śanaiḥ śanaiḥ ।
aham viṁdhyam samāruhya bhavataḥ pratipālaye ॥

adya tu etasya kālasya sāgram varṣa śatam gatam ।
deśa kāla pratīkṣo asmi hṛdi kṛtvā muneḥ vacaḥ ॥

mahāprasthānam āsādya svar gate tu niśākare ।
mām nirdahati saṁtāpo vitarkaiḥ bahubhiḥ vṛtam ॥

uditām maraṇe buddhim muni vākyaiḥ nivartaye ।
buddhiḥ yā tena me dattā prāṇānām rakṣaṇe mama ॥

sā me apanayate duḥkham dīptā iva agni śikhā tamaḥ ।
budhyatā ca mayā vīryam rāvaṇasya durātmanaḥ ॥

putraḥ saṁtarjito vāgbhiḥ na trātā maithilī katham ।
tasyā vilapitam śrutvā tau ca sītā viyojitau ॥

na me daśaratha snehāt putreṇa utpāditam priyam ।
tasya tu evam bruvāṇasya saṁhataiḥ vānaraiḥ saha ॥

utpetatuḥ tadā pakṣau samakṣam vana cāriṇām ।
sa dṛṣṭvā svām tanum pakṣaiḥ udgataiḥ aruṇa cchadaiḥ ॥

praharṣam atulam lebhe vānarān ca idam abravīt ।
niśākarasya rājarṣeḥ prabhāvāt amita ojasaḥ ॥

āditya raśmi nirdagdhau pakṣau punaḥ upasthitau ।
yauvane vartamānasya mama āsīt yaḥ parākramaḥ ॥

tam eva adya avagacchāmi balam pauruṣam eva ca ।
sarvathā kriyatām yatnaḥ sītām adhigamiṣyatha ॥

pakṣa lābho mama ayam vaḥ siddhi pratyaya kārakaḥ ।
iti uktvā tān harīn sarvān saṁpātiḥ patagottama ॥

utpapāta gireḥ śṛṁgāt jijñāsuḥ kha gamo gatim ।
tasya tat vacanam śrutvā pratisaṁhṛṣṭa mānasāḥ ।
babhūvuḥ hari śārdūlā vikrama abhyudaya unmukhāḥ ॥

atha pavana samāna vikramāḥplavaga varāḥ pratilabdha pauruṣāḥ ।
abhijit abhimukhām diśam yayuḥjanaka sutā parimārgaṇa unmukhāḥ ॥
