# Kishkindha Kand · Doha 20

**चौ०** 
> चरन नाइ सिरु बिनती कीन्ही। लछिमन अभय बाँह तेहि दीन्ही॥  
> क्रोधवंत लछिमन सुनि काना। कह कपीस अति भयँ अकुलाना॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनु हनुमंत संग लै तारा। करि बिनती समुझाउ कुमारा॥  
> तारा सहित जाइ हनुमाना। चरन बंदि प्रभु सुजस बखाना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> करि बिनती मंदिर लै आए। चरन पखारि पलँग बैठाए॥  
> तब कपीस चरनन्हि सिरु नावा। गहि भुज लछिमन कंठ लगावा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> नाथ बिषय सम मद कछु नाहीं। मुनि मन मोह करइ छन माहीं॥  
> सुनत बिनीत बचन सुख पावा। लछिमन तेहि बहु बिधि समुझावा॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> पवन तनय सब कथा सुनाई। जेहि बिधि गए दूत समुदाई॥५॥

Meaning: he bowed his head at Lakṣmaṇa’s feet and made humble petition to him, whereupon Lakṣmaṇa extended to him his protecting hand. When the report of Lakṣmaṇa’s wrath reached the ears of the monkey lord, King Sugrīva, he was terribly distracted with fear and said, (1)

“Listen, Hanumān, take Tārā with you and with suppliant prayers appease prince Lakṣmaṇa.” Hanumān accordingly went with Queen Tārā and bowing at Lakṣmaṇa’s feet recounted the Lord’s glory. (2)

With much supplication he escorted the prince to the palace and after laving his feet seated him on a couch. Then the monkeys’ lord, Sugrīva, bowed his head at the prince’s feet, while Lakṣmaṇa took him by the arm and embraced him. (3)

“There is nothing so intoxicating, my lord, as the pleasures of sense, which in an instant infatuate the mind even of a sage.” Lakṣmaṇa was gratified to hear his humble speech and reassured him in many ways. (4)

The son of the wind-god, Hanumān, apprised him of all steps that had been taken in the meantime, viz., how batches of spies had been despatched in various directions. (5)

**दो०** 
> हरषि चले सुग्रीव तब अंगदादि कपि साथ।  
> रामानुज आगें करि आए जहँ रघुनाथ॥ २०॥

Meaning: Accompanied by Aṅgada and other monkeys and placing Śrī Rāma’s younger brother Lakṣmaṇa at the head, King Sugrīva went forth with joy and arrived in Śrī Rāma’s presence. (20)
