# Lanka Kand · Doha 26

**चौ०** 
> सुनि अंगद सकोप कह बानी। बोलु सँभारि अधम अभिमानी॥  
> सहसबाहु भुज गहन अपारा। दहन अनल सम जासु कुठारा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जासु परसु सागर खर धारा। बूड़े नृप अगनित बहु बारा॥  
> तासु गर्ब जेहि देखत भागा। सो नर क्यों दससीस अभागा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> राम मनुज कस रे सठ बंगा। धन्वी कामु नदी पुनि गंगा॥  
> पसु सुरधेनु कल्पतरु रूखा। अन्न दान अरु रस पीयूषा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> बैनतेय खग अहि सहसानन। चिंतामनि पुनि उपल दसानन॥  
> सुनु मतिमंद लोक बैकुंठा। लाभ कि रघुपति भगति अकुंठा॥४॥

Meaning: On hearing this, Aṅgada indignantly replied: “Take care what you say, you vainglorious wretch. How can Śrī Rāma be accounted a man, you wretched Rāvaṇa, at whose very sight melted away the pride of Paraśurāma—the same Paraśurāma whose axe was like a fire to consume King Sahasrabāhu’s boundless forest of arms, or (to use another simile) like the sea in whose swift tide have drowned innumerable kings time after time? How can Śrī Rāma be a mortal! you arrogant fool? (1-2)

“Is the god of love a mere archer, the Gaṅgā a mere stream, the cow of plenty a mere beast, the tree of Paradise a mere tree, the gift of food an ordinary gift, nectar an ordinary drink; (3)

“Garuḍa (the mount of God Viṣṇu) a mere bird, the thousand-headed Śeṣa a mere serpent and the wish-yielding gem a mere stone, O ten-headed monster? Listen, O dullard: is Vaikuṇṭha an ordinary sphere and unflinching devotion to Śrī Raghunātha an ordinary gain? (4)

**दो०** 
> सेन सहित तव मान मथि बन उजारि पुर जारि।  
> कस रे सठ हनुमान कपि गयउ जो तव सुत मारि॥२६॥

Meaning: “What! is Hanumān, O fool, an ordinary monkey, who got off unhurt after trampling your pride as well as that of your army, laying waste your garden, setting your capital on fire and slaying your own son? (26)
