Doha 8
अस कहि चला महा अभिमानी। तृन समान सुग्रीवहि जानी॥ भिरे उभौ बाली अति तर्जा। मुठिका मारि महाधुनि गर्जा॥१॥
तब सुग्रीव बिकल होइ भागा। मुष्टि प्रहार बज्र सम लागा॥ मैं जो कहा रघुबीर कृपाला। बंधु न होइ मोर यह काला॥२॥
एकरूप तुम्ह भ्राता दोऊ। तेहि भ्रम तें नहिं मारेउँ सोऊ॥ कर परसा सुग्रीव सरीरा। तनु भा कुलिस गई सब पीरा॥३॥
मेली कंठ सुमन कै माला। पठवा पुनि बल देइ बिसाला॥ पुनि नाना बिधि भई लराई। बिटप ओट देखहिं रघुराई॥४॥
Meaning
So saying, he sallied forth in his great pride, taking Sugrīva as no more than a straw. The two brothers closed with each other. Bāli browbeat Sugrīva and striking him with his fist roared in a thundering voice. (1) Sugrīva now fled in dismay (and returned to Śrī Rāma); the stroke of Bāli’s clenched fist had fallen on him as a bolt from heaven. “What did I say, O gracious Raghuvīra? This is no brother of mine but Death himself.” (2) “You two brothers are closely identical in appearance; it was because of this confusion that I could not kill him.” He stroked Sugrīva’s body with His hand and lo! it became as hard as adamant and all his pain was gone. (3) Śrī Rāma put on Sugrīva’s neck a garland of flowers and instilling in him enormous courage, sent him back. Again the two brothers fought in many a way, while Śrī Raghunātha watched them from behind a tree. (4)
बहु छल बल सुग्रीव कर हियँ हारा भय मानि। मारा बालि राम तब हृदय माझ सर तानि॥८॥
Meaning
When Sugrīva had tried many a trick and exerted all his might, he lost heart and felt much alarmed. Śrī Rāma then drew His arrow and shot Bāli in the heart. (8)
