Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa 7.55

evam uktas tu rāmeṇa parāṃ vrīḍām upāgataḥ
śatrughno vīryasaṃpanno mandaṃ mandam uvāca ha

avaśyaṃ karaṇīyaṃ ca śāsanaṃ puruṣarṣabha
tava caiva mahābhāga śāsanaṃ duratikramam
ayaṃ kāmakaro rājaṃs tavāsmi puruṣarṣabha

evam ukte tu śūreṇa śatrughnena mahātmanā
uvāca rāmaḥ saṃhṛṣṭo lakṣmaṇaṃ bharataṃ tathā

saṃbhārān abhiṣekasya ānayadhvaṃ samāhitāḥ
adyaiva puruṣavyāghram abhiṣekṣyāmi durjayam

purodhasaṃ ca kākutsthau naigamān ṛtvijas tathā
mantriṇaś caiva me sarvān ānayadhvaṃ mamājñayā

rājñaḥ śāsanam ājñāya tathākurvan mahārathāḥ
abhiṣekasamārambhaṃ puraskṛtya purodhasaṃ
praviṣṭā rājabhavanaṃ puraṃdaragṛhopamam

tato 'bhiṣeko vavṛdhe śatrughnasya mahātmanaḥ
saṃpraharṣakaraḥ śrīmān rāghavasya purasya ca

tato 'bhiṣiktaṃ śatrughnam aṅkam āropya rāghavaḥ
uvāca madhurāṃ vāṇīṃ tejas tasyābhipūrayan

ayaṃ śaras tv amoghas te divyaḥ parapuraṃjayaḥ
anena lavaṇaṃ saumya hantāsi raghunandana

sṛṣṭaḥ śaro 'yaṃ kākutstha yadā śete mahārṇave
svayambhūr ajito devo yaṃ nāpaśyan surāsurāḥ

adṛśyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ tenāyaṃ hi śarottamaḥ
sṛṣṭaḥ krodhābhibhūtena vināśārthaṃ durātmanoḥ
madhukaiṭabhayor vīra vighāte vartamānayoḥ

sraṣṭukāmena lokāṃs trīṃs tau cānena hatau yudhi
anena śaramukhyena tato lokāṃś cakāra saḥ

nāyaṃ mayā śaraḥ pūrvaṃ rāvaṇasya vadhārthinā
muktaḥ śatrughna bhūtānāṃ mahāṃs trāso bhaved iti

yac ca tasya mahac chūlaṃ tryambakeṇa mahātmanā
dattaṃ śatruvināśāya madhor āyudham uttamam

tat saṃnikṣipya bhavane pūjyamānaṃ punaḥ punaḥ
diśaḥ sarvāḥ samālokya prāpnoty āhāram ātmanaḥ

yadā tu yuddham ākāṅkṣan kaś cid enaṃ samāhvayet
tadā śūlaṃ gṛhītvā tad bhasma rakṣaḥ karoti tam

sa tvaṃ puruṣaśārdūla tam āyudhavivarjitam
apraviṣṭapuraṃ pūrvaṃ dvāri tiṣṭha dhṛtāyudhaḥ

apraviṣṭaṃ ca bhavanaṃ yuddhāya puruṣarṣabha
āhvayethā mahābāho tato hantāsi rākṣasaṃ

anyathā kriyamāṇe tu avadhyaḥ sa bhaviṣyati
yadi tv evaṃ kṛte vīra vināśam upayāsyati

etat te sarvam ākhyātaṃ śūlasya ca viparyayam
śrīmataḥ śitikaṇṭhasya kṛtyaṃ hi duratikramam
