Doha 104
पति सिर देखत मंदोदरी। मुरुछित बिकल धरनि खसि परी॥ जुबति बृंद रोवत उठि धाईं। तेहि उठाइ रावन पहिं आईं॥१॥
पति गति देखि ते करहिं पुकारा। छूटे कच नहिं बपुष सँभारा॥ उर ताड़ना करहिं बिधि नाना। रोवत करहिं प्रताप बखाना॥२॥
तव बल नाथ डोल नित धरनी। तेज हीन पावक ससि तरनी॥ सेष कमठ सहि सकहिं न भारा। सो तनु भूमि परेउ भरि छारा॥३॥
बरुन कुबेर सुरेस समीरा। रन सन्मुख धरि काहुँ न धीरा॥ भुजबल जितेहु काल जम साईं। आजु परेहु अनाथ की नाईं॥४॥
जगत बिदित तुम्हारि प्रभुताई। सुत परिजन बल बरनि न जाई॥ राम बिमुख अस हाल तुम्हारा। रहा न कोउ कुल रोवनिहारा॥५॥
तव बस बिधि प्रपंच सब नाथा। सभय दिसिप नित नावहिं माथा॥ अब तव सिर भुज जंबुक खाहीं। राम बिमुख यह अनुचित नाहीं॥६॥
काल बिबस पति कहा न माना। अग जग नाथु मनुज करि जाना॥७॥
Meaning
The moment Mandodarī (Rāvaṇa’s principal spouse) saw her lord’s heads, she fainted in her grief and dropped to the ground. His other wives too sprang up and rushed to the spot weeping; lifting up and supporting Mandodarī they all arrived where Rāvaṇa’s remains lay. (1) Seeing their lord’s condition they set up a shriek; their hair flew loose and they became oblivious of their body, wildly beating their bosom and weeping, they recounted his glory. (2) “At your might, my Lord, the earth ever shook; fire, the moon and the sun stood obscure before your splendour. Even Śeṣa (the serpent-god) and the divine Tortoise could not bear the weight of your body, which is now lying on the ground soiled with dust. (3) “Varuṇa (the god presiding over the waters), Kubera (the god of riches), Indra (the lord of the celestials) and the wind-god—none of these ever had the courage to confront you in battle. By the might of your arm, my lord, you conquered Death as well as Yama (the god who punishes evil-doers in the other world); yet you lie today like a forlorn creature. (4) “Your greatness is known all the world over; even your sons and kinsmen possessed untold strength. Hostility with Śrī Rāma has, however, reduced you to such a plight: not one of your stock is left to lament over your death. (5) “The whole of God’s creation, my lord, was under your control; the frightened regents of the eight quarters ever bowed their heads to you. But now jackals feast on your heads and arms, a fate in no way undeserved by an enemy of Śrī Rāma. (6) “Doomed to death, my lord, you heeded not my words, and took the Ruler of all animate and inanimate beings for an ordinary mortal. (7)
जान्यो मनुज करि दनुज कानन दहन पावक हरि स्वयं। जेहि नमत सिव ब्रह्मादि सुर पिय भजेहु नहिं करुनामयं॥ आजन्म ते परद्रोह रत पापौघमय तव तनु अयं। तुम्हहू दियो निज धाम राम नमामि ब्रह्म निरामयं॥
Meaning
“You took for a mere man Śrī Hari Himself, a veritable fire to consume the forest of the demon race, and did not adore the All-merciful, to whom, my beloved spouse, Lord Śiva, Brahmā (the Creator) and other gods do homage. This body of yours had taken delight from its very birth in harming others and was a sink of multitudinous sins; yet Śrī Rāma has absorbed you in His own being! I bow to Him, the immutable Brahma.
अहह नाथ रघुनाथ सम कृपासिंधु नहिं आन। जोगि बृंद दुर्लभ गति तोहि दीन्हि भगवान॥१०४॥
Meaning
“Ah, my lord! there is none else so gracious as the divine Śrī Rāma, who bestowed on you a state which is difficult even for the Yogīs to attain.” (104)
