Padmapurana
Thus, when they were mounted on that excellent steed, the Vidyaadhara lords were filled with utmost wonder. ||14||
Then, to go towards him, Saagara, having moved away Shatrughna, said, "O Dheer, I request you to give me a Dakshina." ||15||
Shatrughna, the vanquisher of darkness, said, "You are the unparalleled, the all-pervading giver. What can be more praiseworthy than your request? What else can be more auspicious for me?" ||16||
"You are the lord even of our lives, what to speak of other things? What can I do for you, except to remove the obstacle of this war?" ||17||
Reflecting, Padmaabha said, "O Vatsa, you should attack Madhu only when he is devoid of the Shula-ratna. Do not attack him at any other time." ||18||
Saying, "As you command," Shatrughna, after paying homage to the Siddhas and taking their blessings, ate food and then, coming to his mother, bowed to her and asked, "Are you well?" ||19||
Seeing her son, the queen, out of affection, smelled his head and said, "O Vatsa, conquer the enemy forces with your sharp arrows." ||20||
Making him sit on the half-seat, the valiant queen, again said, "O Veer, you should not show your back to the enemies in the battle." ||21||
"O son, seeing you victorious and returned from the battle, I will perform the highest worship of the Jinas with golden lotuses." ||22||
"May the Jinas, who are auspicious for the three worlds, who are worshipped by the gods and demons, grant you auspiciousness, being free from attachment." ||23||
"May the Arhants, the Bhagavants, who have conquered the extremely difficult delusion caused by worldly existence, be auspicious for you." ||24||
"May the self-enlightened Jinas, who teach the Dharma of the four paths and the three times, grant you the intellect to conquer your enemies." ||25||
"May the Kevala-jnanis, who see all the worlds and beings like a myrobalan fruit held in the hand, be auspicious for you." ||26||
"May the Siddhas, who are free from karma and form, who reside above the three worlds, who are the givers of Siddhi, be auspicious for you, O Vatsa." ||27||
"May the Aachaaryas, who are like the lotus, the sun, the moon, the Mandara mountain, and the sky, who are the supreme support, be auspicious for you." ||28||
Then, the Vidyaadhara king was filled with utmost wonder. ||14||
Then, to go towards him, Saagara, having moved away Shatrughna, said, "O Dheer, I request you to give me a Dakshina." ||15||
This being heard, Shatrughna said, "You are the unparalleled, the all-pervading giver. What can be more praiseworthy than your request? What else can be more auspicious for me?" ||16||
"You are the lord even of our lives, what to speak of other things? What can I do for you, except to remove the obstacle of this war?" ||17||
Then, Rama, after some reflection, said, "O Vatsa, you should attack Madhu only when he is devoid of the Shula-ratna. Do not attack him at any other time." ||18||
Then, saying, "As you command," Shatrughna, after paying homage to the Siddhas and taking their blessings, ate food and then, coming to his mother, bowed to her and asked, "Are you well?" ||19||
