Doha 30b
The greatness of Śrī Rāma’s glories
अंगद कहइ जाउँ मैं पारा। जियँ संसय कछु फिरती बारा॥ जामवंत कह तुम्ह सब लायक। पठइअ किमि सब ही कर नायक॥.१ ॥
कहइ रीक्षपति सुनु हनुमाना। का चुप साधि रहेहु बलवाना॥ पवन तनय बल पवन समाना। बुधि बिबेक बिग्यान निधाना॥२॥
कवन सो काज कठिन जग माहीं। जो नहिं होइ तात तुम्ह पाहीं॥ राम काज लगि तव अवतारा। सुनतहिं भयउ पर्बताकारा॥३॥
कनक बरन तन तेज बिराजा। मानहुँ अपर गिरिन्ह कर राजा॥ सिंहनाद करि बारहिं बारा। लीलहिं नाघउँ जलनिधि खारा॥४॥
सहित सहाय रावनहि मारी। आनउँ इहाँ त्रिकूट उपारी॥ जामवंत मैं पूँछउँ तोही। उचित सिखावनु दीजहु मोही॥५॥
एतना करहु तात तुम्ह जाई। सीतहि देखि कहहु सुधि आई॥ तब निज भुज बल राजिवनैना। कौतुक लागि संग कपि सेना॥६॥
Meaning
Said Aṅgada, “I will leap across; but I have some diffidence in my heart about my getting back.” Jāmbavān, however, interposed, “Even though you are versatile in every way, how can we send you, the leader of us all?” (1) The king of bears then turned towards Hanumān: “Listen, O mighty Hanumān: how is it that you are keeping mum? Son of the wind-god, you are as mighty as your father and are an embodiment of intelligence, discretion and spiritual wisdom. (2) “Which undertaking in this world is too difficult for you to accomplish, dear fellow-companion? It is for the service of Śrī Rāma that you have come down upon earth.” The moment Hanumān heard these words he grew to the enormous size of a mountain, (3) with a body shining as gold and full of splendour as though he was another king of mountains, Sumeru. Roaring again and again like a lion he said, “I can easily spring across the saltish ocean, (4) “and killing Rāvaṇa with all his army, can uproot the Trikūṭa hill and bring it here. But I entreat you, Jāmbavān, kindly tender me suitable advice.” (5) “All that you have to do, my dear, is to go and see Sītā and come back with Her tidings. Then the lotus-eyed Śrī Rāma will recover Her by the strength of His arm, taking with Him a host of monkeys for mere sport. (6)
कपि सेन संग सँघारि निसिचर रामु सीतहि आनिहैं। त्रैलोक पावन सुजसु सुर मुनि नारदादि बखानिहैं॥ जो सुनत गावत कहत समुझत परम पद नर पावई। रघुबीर पद पाथोज मधुकर दास तुलसी गावई॥
Meaning
“Taking with Him an army of monkeys, Śrī Rāma will exterminate the demons and bring back Sītā: and the gods as well as Nārada and other sages will sing His glories that sanctify the three spheres.” Those who hear, sing, repeat or try to understand them will attain to the supreme state and Tulasīdāsa, who is devoted like a bee to the lotus feet of Śrī Raghuvīra, ever sings them.
भव भेषज रघुनाथ जसु सुनहिं जे नर अरु नारि। तिन्ह कर सकल मनोरथ सिद्ध करहिं त्रिसिरारि॥३० (क)॥
नीलोत्पल तन स्याम काम कोटि सोभा अधिक। सुनिअ तासु गुन ग्राम जासु नाम अघ खग बधिक॥३० (ख)॥
Meaning
Śrī Rāma, the Slayer of the demon Triśirā, will grant all desires of those men and women who listen to Śrī Rāma’s glories, the (infallible) remedy for the disease of transmigration. (30 A) Listen to the glories of Śrī Rāma, who possesses a form dark as the blue lotus, who by His elegant charm outshines millions of Cupids and whose Name is a veritable fowler, as it were, for birds in the shape of sins. (30 B) [PAUSE 23 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION] Thus ends the fourth descent into the Mānasa lake of Śrī Rāma’s exploits, that eradicate all the impurities of the Kali age.
