# Bal Kand · Doha 292

**चौ०** 
> पूछन जोगु न तनय तुम्हारे। पुरुषसिंघ तिहु पुर उजिआरे॥  
> जिन्ह के जस प्रताप कें आगे। ससि मलीन रबि सीतल लागे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> तिन्ह कहँ कहिअ नाथ किमि चीन्हे। देखिअ रबि कि दीप कर लीन्हे॥  
> सीय स्वयंबर भूप अनेका। समिटे सुभट एक तें एका॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> संभु सरासनु काहुँ न टारा। हारे सकल बीर बरिआरा॥  
> तीनि लोक महँ जे भटमानी। सभ कै सकति संभु धनु भानी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सकइ उठाइ सरासुर मेरू। सोउ हियँ हारि गयउ करि फेरू॥  
> जेहिं कौतुक सिवसैलु उठावा। सोउ तेहि सभाँ पराभउ पावा॥४॥

Meaning: “Your sons are not to be enquired about; they are lions among men and the light of the universe, and before whose renown and glory the moon looks dim and the sun appears cool. (1)

“About them, my lord, you ask how they came to be recognized! Does one take a lamp in one’s hand to see the sun? On the occasion of Sītā’s selection of her husband (स्वयंवर) had assembled numerous princes, each one of whom was a greater champion than the other(s), (2)

“but not one of them could stir Śiva’s bow and all the mighty heroes failed. The might of all those who were proud of their valour in the three worlds was crushed by it. (3)

“Even the demon Bāṇa, who could lift Mount Meru, lost heart and retired after pacing round the bow; and even Rāvaṇa, who had lifted up Mount Kailāsa (the abode of Śiva) in mere sport, was worsted in that assembly. (4)

**दो०** 
> तहाँ राम रघुबंसमनि सुनिअ महा महिपाल।  
> भंजेउ चाप प्रयास बिनु जिमि गज पंकज नाल॥२९२॥

Meaning: “On that occasion, we submit, O great king, Śrī Rāma, the jewel of Raghu’s race, snapped the bow without the least exertion even as an elephant would break the stalk of a lotus. (292)
