Doha 22
बानर कटक उमा मैं देखा। सो मूरुख जो करन चह लेखा॥ आइ राम पद नावहिं माथा। निरखि बदनु सब होहिं सनाथा॥१॥
अस कपि एक न सेना माहीं। राम कुसल जेहि पूछी नाहीं॥ यह कछु नहिं प्रभु कइ अधिकाई। बिस्वरूप ब्यापक रघुराई॥२॥
ठाढ़े जहँ तहँ आयसु पाई। कह सुग्रीव सबहि समुझाई॥ राम काजु अरु मोर निहोरा। बानर जूथ जाहु चहुँ ओरा॥३॥
जनकसुता कहुँ खोजहु जाई। मास दिवस महँ आएहु भाई॥ अवधि मेटि जो बिनु सुधि पाएँ। आवइ बनिहि सो मोहि मराएँ॥४॥
Meaning
(Says Śiva:) “Umā, I saw the army of monkeys; he would indeed be a fool who would try to make a count of them. They came and bowed their head at Śrī Rāma’s feet and found their true lord in Him when they gazed on His countenance. (1) “In the whole host there was no monkey whose welfare Śrī Rāma did not personally enquire. This was no miracle for my master, Śrī Raghunātha, who has taken all forms and is omnipresent.” (2) They stood in martial array as ordered and King Sugrīva thus instructed them all: “I exhort and commission you to do Śrī Rāma’s work. Therefore, O monkey hosts, go forth in every direction, (3) “and institute a search for Jānakī; but you should all return in course of a month, my brethren. He who returns after the expiry of this (one month) limit without any news, shall meet with his death at my hands.” (4)
बचन सुनत सब बानर जहँ तहँ चले तुरंत। तब सुग्रीवँ बोलाए अंगद नल हनुमंत॥२२॥
Meaning
On hearing his command the monkeys proceeded at once in various directions. Sugrīva then called Aṅgada, Nala and Hanumān. (22)
