26 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे षट्पञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥१-५६॥ एवमुक्तो वसिष्ठेन विश्वामित्रो महाबलः। आग्नेयमस्त्रमुद्दिश्य तिष्ठ तिष्ठेति चाब्रवीत् ॥१॥
In the revered Valmiki Ramayana, in the Bala-kanda, the fifty-sixth canto. Thus addressed by Vasistha, the greatly powerful Vishvamitra, directing the fiery weapon, said, “Stop! Stop!”
ब्रह्मदण्डं समुद्यम्य कालदण्डमिवापरम्। वसिष्ठो भगवान् क्रोधादिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥२॥
Raising the Brahma-staff, another one like the staff of Kala, the venerable Vasistha, in anger, said these words:
क्षत्रबन्धो स्थितोऽस्म्येष यद् बलं तद् विदर्शय। नाशयाम्यद्य ते दर्पं शस्त्रस्य तव गाधिज ॥३॥
O base Kshatriya, I stand here. Show whatever strength there is; today I shall destroy the pride of your weapon, O son of Gadhi.
क्व च ते क्षत्रियबलं क्व च ब्रह्मबलं महत्। पश्य ब्रह्मबलं दिव्यं मम क्षत्रियपांसन ॥४॥
Where is your Kshatriya strength, and where is the great Brahmanical power? Behold my divine Brahmanical power, O scum of the Kshatriyas.
तस्यास्त्रं गाधिपुत्रस्य घोरमाग्नेयमुत्तमम्। ब्रह्मदण्डेन तच्छान्तमग्नेर्वेग इवाम्भसा ॥५॥
That terrible and excellent fiery weapon of the son of Gadhi was pacified by the Brahma-staff, like the force of fire by water.
