# Lanka Kand · Doha 19

**चौ०** 
> तुरत निसाचर एक पठावा। समाचार रावनहि जनावा॥  
> सुनत बिहँसि बोला दससीसा। आनहु बोलि कहाँ कर कीसा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> आयसु पाइ दूत बहु धाए। कपिकुंजरहि बोलि लै आए॥  
> अंगद दीख दसानन बैसें। सहित प्रान कज्जलगिरि जैसें॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> भुजा बिटप सिर सृंग समाना। रोमावली लता जनु नाना॥  
> मुख नासिका नयन अरु काना। गिरि कंदरा खोह अनुमाना॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> गयउ सभाँ मन नेकु न मुरा। बालितनय अतिबल बाँकुरा॥  
> उठे सभासद कपि कहुँ देखी। रावन उर भा क्रोध बिसेषी॥४॥

Meaning: He forthwith sent a demon and apprised Rāvaṇa of his arrival. On hearing the news the ten-headed monster laughed and said, “Go, usher him in my presence and let me see where the monkey has come from.” (1)

Receiving his order a host of messengers ran and ushered in the monkey-chief. Aṅgada saw the ten-headed giant seated on his throne like a living mountain of collyrium. (2)

His arms looked like trees and heads like peaks; while the hair on his body presented the appearance of numerous creepers. His mouths, nostrils, eyes and ears were as big as mountain caves and chasms. (3)

With an unflinching mind he entered the court, the valiant son of Bāli, possessed of great might. The assembly abruptly rose at the sight of Aṅgada; at this Rāvaṇa’s heart was filled with great fury. (4)

**दो०** 
> जथा मत्त गज जूथ महुँ पंचानन चलि जाइ।  
> राम प्रताप सुमिरि मन बैठ सभाँ सिरु नाइ॥१९॥

Meaning: Remembering Śrī Rāma’s might Aṅgada bowed his head and took his seat in the assembly as fearlessly as a lion treads in the midst of elephants in rut. (19)
