# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 230

**चौ०** 
> उठि कर जोरि रजायसु मागा। मनहुँ बीर रस सोवत जागा॥  
> बाँधि जटा सिर कसि कटि भाथा। साजि सरासनु सायकु हाथा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> आजु राम सेवक जसु लेऊँ। भरतहि समर सिखावन देऊँ॥  
> राम निरादर कर फलु पाई। सोवहुँ समर सेज दोउ भाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> आइ बना भल सकल समाजू। प्रगट करउँ रिस पाछिल आजू॥  
> जिमि करि निकर दलइ मृगराजू। लेइ लपेटि लवा जिमि बाजू॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तैसेहिं भरतहि सेन समेता। सानुज निदरि निपातउँ खेता॥  
> जौं सहाय कर संकरु आई। तौ मारउँ रन राम दोहाई॥४॥

Meaning: As he rose and with folded hands asked leave (to meet Bharata in an encounter), it seemed as if the heroic sentiment itself had awoken from sleep. Binding up the matted locks on his head and fastening the quiver to his back, he strung his bow and took an arrow in his hand. (1)

“Let me distinguish myself as a servant of Śrī Rāma today and teach Bharata a lesson in the battle. Reaping the fruit of their contempt for Śrī Rāma, let the two brothers sleep on the couch of the battle-field. (2)

“It is well that the whole host has collected at one place; I shall, therefore, give vent to my past anger. Even as a lion (the king of beasts) tears to pieces a herd of elephants or just as a hawk clutches and carries off a lark, (3)

“so shall I lightly overthrow on the field Bharata as well as his younger brother Śatrughna and all their host. Even if Lord Śaṅkara comes to his aid, I swear by Śrī Rāma that I will kill him in battle.” (4)

**दो०** 
> अति सरोष माखे लखनु लखि सुनि सपथ प्रवान।  
> सभय लोक सब लोकपति चाहत भभरि भगान॥२३०॥

Meaning: Seeing Lakṣmaṇa speak with such vehemence and fury and hearing his solemn oath all the spheres trembled with fear, while their rulers were anxious to flee away in panic. (230)
