Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa 7.91

śrutvā senāpatiṃ prāptaṃ bharataṃ kekayādhipaḥ
yudhājid gārgyasahitaṃ parāṃ prītim upāgamat

sa niryayau janaughena mahatā kekayādhipaḥ
tvaramāṇo 'bhicakrāma gandharvān devarūpiṇaḥ

bharataś ca yudhājic ca sametau laghuvikramau
gandharvanagaraṃ prāptau sabalau sapadānugau

śrutvā tu bharataṃ prāptaṃ gandharvās te samāgatāḥ
yoddhukāmā mahāvīryā vinadantaḥ samantataḥ

tataḥ samabhavad yuddhaṃ tumulaṃ lomaharṣaṇam
saptarātraṃ mahābhīmaṃ na cānyatarayor jayaḥ

tato rāmānujaḥ kruddhaḥ kālasyāstraṃ sudāruṇam
saṃvartaṃ nāma bharato gandharveṣv abhyayojayat

te baddhāḥ kālapāśena saṃvartena vidāritāḥ
kṣaṇenābhihatās tisras tatra koṭyo mahātmanā

taṃ ghātaṃ ghorasaṃkāśaṃ na smaranti divaukasaḥ
nimeṣāntaramātreṇa tādṛśānāṃ mahātmanām

hateṣu teṣu vīreṣu bharataḥ kaikayīsutaḥ
niveśayām āsa tadā samṛddhe dve purottame
takṣaṃ takṣaśilāyāṃ tu puṣkaraṃ puṣkarāvatau

gandharvadeśo ruciro gāndhāraviṣayaś ca saḥ
varṣaiḥ pañcabhir ākīrṇo viṣayair nāgarais tathā

dhanaratnaughasaṃpūrṇo kānanair upaśobhite
anyonyasaṃgharṣakṛte spardhayā guṇavistare

ubhe suruciraprakhye vyavahārair akalmaṣaiḥ
udyānayānaughavṛte suvibhaktāntarāpaṇe

ubhe puravare ramye vistarair upaśobhite
gṛhamukhyaiḥ surucirair vimānaiḥ samavarṇibhiḥ

śobhite śobhanīyaiś ca devāyatanavistaraiḥ
niveśya pañcabhir varṣair bharato rāghavānujaḥ
punar āyān mahābāhur ayodhyāṃ kaikayīsutaḥ

so 'bhivādya mahātmānaṃ sākṣād dharmam ivāparam
rāghavaṃ bharataḥ śrīmān brahmāṇam iva vāsavaḥ

śaśaṃsa ca yathāvṛttaṃ gandharvavadham uttamam
niveśanaṃ ca deśasya śrutvā prīto 'sya rāghavaḥ
