उदिते विमले सूर्ये पुष्ये चाभ्यागतेऽहनि। लग्ने कर्कटके प्राप्ते जन्म रामस्य च स्थिते॥ अभिषेकाय रामस्य द्विजेन्द्रैरुपकल्पितम्। काञ्चना जलकुम्भाश्च भद्रपीठं स्वलंकृतम्॥ रथश्च सम्यगास्तीर्णो भास्वता व्याघ्रचर्मणा। गङ्गायमुनयोः पुण्यात् संगमादाहृतं जलम्॥ याश्चान्याः सरितः पुण्या हृदाः कूपाः सरांसि च। प्राग्वहाश्चोर्ध्ववाहाश्च तिर्यग्वाहाश्च क्षीरिणः॥ ताभ्यश्चैवाहतं तोयं समुद्रेभ्यश्च सर्वशः। क्षौद्रं दधि घृतं लाजा दर्भाः सुमनसः पयः॥ अष्टौ च कन्या रुचिरा मत्तश्च वरवारणः। सजलाः क्षीरिभिश्छन्ना घटाः काञ्चनराजताः॥ पद्मोत्पलयुता भान्ति पूर्णाः परमवारिणा। चन्द्रांशुविकचप्रख्यं पाण्डुरं रत्नभूषितम्॥ सज्जं तिष्ठति रामस्य वालव्यजनमुत्तमम्। चन्द्रमण्डलसंकाशमातपत्रं च पाण्डुरम्॥ सज्जं द्युतिकरं श्रीमदभिषेकपुरस्सरम्। पाण्डुरश्च वृषः सज्जः पाण्डुराश्वश्च संस्थितः॥
