| 1 | sūta uvāca
|
| 1 | taṃ tathā mantriṇo dṛṣṭvā bhogena pariveṣṭitam
vivarṇavadanāḥ sarve rurudur bhṛśaduḥkhitāḥ
|
| 2 | taṃ tu nādaṃ tataḥ śrutvā mantriṇas te pradudruvuḥ
apaśyaṃś caiva te yāntam ākāśe nāgam adbhutam
|
| 3 | sīmantam iva kurvāṇaṃ nabhasaḥ padmavarcasam
takṣakaṃ pannagaśreṣṭhaṃ bhṛśaṃ śokaparāyaṇāḥ
|
| 4 | tatas tu te tad gṛham agninā vṛtaṃ; pradīpyamānaṃ viṣajena bhoginaḥ
bhayāt parityajya diśaḥ prapedire; papāta tac cāśanitāḍitaṃ yathā
|
| 5 | tato nṛpe takṣakatejasā hate; prayujya sarvāḥ paralokasatkriyāḥ
śucir dvijo rājapurohitas tadā; tathaiva te tasya nṛpasya mantriṇaḥ
|
| 6 | nṛpaṃ śiśuṃ tasya sutaṃ pracakrire; sametya sarve puravāsino janāḥ
nṛpaṃ yam āhus tam amitraghātinaṃ; kurupravīraṃ janamejayaṃ janāḥ
|
| 7 | sa bāla evāryamatir nṛpottamaḥ; sahaiva tair mantripurohitais tadā
śaśāsa rājyaṃ kurupuṃgavāgrajo; yathāsya vīraḥ prapitāmahas tathā
|
| 8 | tatas tu rājānam amitratāpanaṃ; samīkṣya te tasya nṛpasya mantriṇaḥ
suvarṇavarmāṇam upetya kāśipaṃ; vapuṣṭamārthaṃ varayāṃ pracakramuḥ
|
| 9 | tataḥ sa rājā pradadau vapuṣṭamāṃ; kurupravīrāya parīkṣya dharmataḥ
sa cāpi tāṃ prāpya mudā yuto 'bhavan; na cānyanārīṣu mano dadhe kva cit
|
| 10 | saraḥsu phulleṣu vaneṣu caiva ha; prasannacetā vijahāra vīryavān
tathā sa rājanyavaro vijahrivān; yathorvaśīṃ prāpya purā purūravāḥ
|
| 11 | vapuṣṭamā cāpi varaṃ patiṃ tadā; pratītarūpaṃ samavāpya bhūmipam
bhāvena rāmā ramayāṃ babhūva vai; vihārakāleṣv avarodhasundarī
