Doha 245
प्रभुहि देखि सब नृप हियँ हारे। जनु राकेस उदय भएँ तारे॥ असि प्रतीति सब के मन माहीं। राम चाप तोरब सक नाहीं॥१॥
बिनु भंजेहुँ भव धनुषु बिसाला। मेलिहि सीय राम उर माला॥ अस बिचारि गवनहु घर भाई। जसु प्रतापु बलु तेजु गवाँई॥२॥
बिहसे अपर भूप सुनि बानी। जे अबिबेक अंध अभिमानी॥ तोरेहुँ धनुषु ब्याहु अवगाहा। बिनु तोरें को कुअँरि बिआहा॥३॥
एक बार कालउ किन होऊ। सिय हित समर जितब हम सोऊ॥ यह सुनि अवर महिप मुसुकाने। धरमसील हरिभगत सयाने॥४॥
Meaning
All the kings were disheartened at the sight of the Lord, just as stars fade away with the rising of the full moon. For they all felt inwardly assured that Śrī Rāma would undoubtedly break the bow. (1) Or, even if the huge bow of Śiva proved too strong for Him, Sītā would still place the garland of victory round His neck. They, therefore, said to one another, “Realizing this, brothers, let us turn homewards, casting to the winds all glory, fame, strength and pride.” (2) Other princes, who were blinded with ignorance and pride, laughed at this and said, “Alliance with the princess is a far cry for Rāma even if he succeeds in breaking the bow; who, then, can marry her without breaking it? (3) “Should Death himself for once come forth against us, even him we would conquer in battle for Sītā’s sake.” At this, other princes, who were pious and sensible and devoted to Śrī Hari, smiled and said: (4)
सीय बिआहबि राम गरब दूरि करि नृपन्ह के। जीति को सक संग्राम दसरथ के रन बाँकुरे॥२४५॥
Meaning
“Śrī Rāma will certainly marry Sītā to the discomfiture of these arrogant princes; for, who can conquer in battle the valiant sons of Daśaratha? (245)
