Doha 11
राम बालि निज धाम पठावा। नगर लोग सब ब्याकुल धावा॥ नाना बिधि बिलाप कर तारा। छूटे केस न देह सँभारा॥१॥
तारा बिकल देखि रघुराया। दीन्ह ग्यान हरि लीन्ही माया॥ छिति जल पावक गगन समीरा। पंच रचित अति अधम सरीरा॥२॥
प्रगट सो तनु तव आगें सोवा। जीव नित्य केहि लगि तुम्ह रोवा॥ उपजा ग्यान चरन तब लागी। लीन्हेसि परम भगति बर मागी॥३॥
उमा दारु जोषित की नाईं। सबहि नचावत रामु गोसाईं॥ तब सुग्रीवहि आयसु दीन्हा। मृतक कर्म बिधिवत सब कीन्हा॥४॥
राम कहा अनुजहि समुझाई। राज देहु सुग्रीवहि जाई॥ रघुपति चरन नाइ करि माथा। चले सकल प्रेरित रघुनाथा॥५॥
Meaning
Śrī Rāma sent away Bāli to His own abode. All the people of the city ran in dismay. With dishevelled hair and a tottering frame, Tārā (Bāli’s wife) wailed in many ways. (1) When Śrī Raghunātha saw her distress, He imparted to her wisdom and dispelled her delusion. “Made up of the five elements, viz., earth, water, fire, ether and air, this body is extremely vile. (2) “The mortal frame lies buried in eternal sleep before your eyes, while the soul is everlasting. For whom, then, do you lament?” The light of wisdom dawned on her and now she embraced His feet and asked of Him the boon of supreme Devotion. (3) The almighty Śrī Rāma, O Umā, (says Bhagavān Śaṅkara), makes us all dance like so many marionettes. Śrī Rāma then gave orders to Sugrīva, who performed all the funeral rites observing all conventions. (4) He next instructed His younger brother, Lakṣmaṇa, “Go and crown Sugrīva as the king.” Bowing their head to Śrī Raghunātha, all left in obedience to His orders. (5)
लछिमन तुरत बोलाए पुरजन बिप्र समाज। राजु दीन्ह सुग्रीव कहँ अंगद कहँ जुबराज॥११॥
Meaning
Lakṣmaṇa immediately summoned the citizens and the Brāhmaṇas and (in their presence) crowned Sugrīva as the king and installed Aṅgada as the Crown Prince. (11)
