# Lanka Kand · Doha 103

Mandodarī and other queens lament; Rāvaṇa’s funeral

**चौ०** 
> सायक एक नाभि सर सोषा। अपर लगे भुज सिर करि रोषा॥  
> लै सिर बाहु चले नाराचा। सिर भुज हीन रुंड महि नाचा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> धरनि धसइ धर धाव प्रचंडा। तब सर हति प्रभु कृत दुइ खंडा॥  
> गर्जेउ मरत घोर रव भारी। कहाँ रामु रन हतौं पचारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> डोली भूमि गिरत दसकंधर। छुभित सिंधु सरि दिग्गज भूधर॥  
> धरनि परेउ द्वौ खंड बढ़ाई। चापि भालु मर्कट समुदाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> मंदोदरि आगें भुज सीसा। धरि सर चले जहाँ जगदीसा॥  
> प्रबिसे सब निषंग महु जाई। देखि सुरन्ह दुंदुभीं बजाई॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> तासु तेज समान प्रभु आनन। हरषे देखि संभु चतुरानन॥  
> जय जय धुनि पूरी ब्रह्मंडा। जय रघुबीर प्रबल भुजदंडा॥५॥

**चौ०** 
> बरषहिं सुमन देव मुनि बृंदा। जय कृपाल जय जयति मुकुंदा॥६॥

Meaning: One arrow sucked up the depths of the navel, while the rest struck his ten heads and twenty arms with impetuosity. The arrows carried off with them all his heads and arms, while the headless and armless trunk danced on the battle-field. (1)

The earth sank under the weight of the trunk as it rushed violently on, till the Lord struck it with His arrow and split it into two. While dying he shouted with a loud and terrible roar: “Where is Rāma, that I may challenge and slay him in battle?” (2)

The earth reeled as the ten headed monster fell; the ocean, the rivers, the elephants guarding the quarters, and the mountains were shaken. Expanding the two halves, Rāvaṇa dropped to the ground, crushing under their weight a host of bears and monkeys. (3)

After putting the arms and heads before Mandodarī, the darts returned to the Lord of the universe, Śrī Rāma, and all found their way back into the quiver. Seeing this, the gods beat their kettle-drums. (4)

Rāvaṇa’s soul entered the Lord’s mouth in the form of effulgence. Lord Śiva and the four-faced Brahma (the Creator) rejoiced to see the spectacle. The whole universe resounded with cries of ‘Victory ! Victory !! Glory to Śrī Raghuvīra, mighty of arm !!!” (5)

Gods and sages rained down flowers, shouting “Glory, glory to the All-merciful! Glory to Mukunda (the Bestower of liberation)!!” (6)

**छं०** 
> जय कृपा कंद मुकुंद द्वंद हरन सरन सुखप्रद प्रभो।  
> खल दल बिदारन परम कारन कारुनीक सदा बिभो॥  
> सुर सुमन बरषहिं हरष संकुल बाज दुंदुभि गहगही।  
> संग्राम अंगन राम अंग अनंग बहु सोभा लही॥१॥

**छं०** 
> सिर जटा मुकुट प्रसून बिच बिच अति मनोहर राजहीं।  
> जनु नीलगिरि पर तड़ित पटल समेत उडुगन भ्राजहीं॥  
> भुजदंड सर कोदंड फेरत रुधिर कन तन अति बने।  
> जनु रायमुनीं तमाल पर बैठीं बिपुल सुख आपने॥२॥

Meaning: “Glory to You, O Mukunda (the Bestower of liberation), the fountain of mercy, the dispeller of all fear of pairs of opposites, the delight of those who take refuge in You, the torment of the ranks of the wicked, the Prime Cause, the ever compassionate and omnipresent Ruler of all.” Full of joy, the gods rained down flowers; they sounded their kettle-drums very loudly. On the battle-field Śrī Rāma’s limbs displayed the beauty of a number of Cupids. (1)

The crown of matted hair on His head, interspersed with most beautiful flowers, gleamed like flashes of lightning on the star-lit peak of a dark mountain. As He stood turning His bow and arrow between His arms, specks of blood adorned His person, like a swarm of Raimuni sparrows perched on a Tamāla tree absorbed in their delight. (2)

**दो०** 
> कृपादृष्टि करि बृष्टि प्रभु अभय किए सुर बृंद।  
> भालु कीस सब हरषे जय सुख धाम मुकुंद॥१०३॥

Meaning: With a shower of His gracious glances the Lord dispelled the fears of the gods; and the bears and monkeys all shouted in their joy: “Glory to Mukunda, the abode of Bliss!” (103)
