# Lanka Kand · Doha 27

**चौ०** 
> सुनु रावन परिहरि चतुराई। भजसि न कृपासिंधु रघुराई॥  
> जौं खल भएसि राम कर द्रोही। ब्रह्म रुद्र सक राखि न तोही॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मूढ़ बृथा जनि मारसि गाला। राम बयर अस होइहि हाला॥  
> तव सिर निकर कपिन्ह के आगें। परिहहिं धरनि राम सर लागें॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> ते तव सिर कंदुक सम नाना। खेलिहहिं भालु कीस चौगाना॥  
> जबहिं समर कोपिहि रघुनायक। छुटिहहिं अति कराल बहु सायक॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तब कि चलिहि अस गाल तुम्हारा। अस बिचारि भजु राम उदारा॥  
> सुनत बचन रावन परजरा। जरत महानल जनु घृत परा॥४॥

Meaning: “Listen, Rāvaṇa, giving up all hypocrisy, why do you not adore the All-merciful Śrī Raghunātha? O wretch, if you pit yourself against Śrī Rāma, even Brahmā (the Creator) and Rudra (Lord Śiva) cannot save you. (1)

“Fool, brag not in vain; if you contend with Śrī Rāma, such will be your fate: struck with Śrī Rāma’s arrows your many heads will fall to the ground in front of the monkeys.(2)

“And the bears and monkeys will play with those heads as with so many balls. When Śrī Raghunātha gets enraged in battle and His many fierce arrows dart, (3)

“will you then be able to bounce like this? Realizing this, adore the high-souled Śrī Rāma.” On hearing these words Rāvaṇa flared up like a blazing fire on which clarified butter has been thrown. (4)

**दो०** 
> कुंभकरन अस बंधु मम सुत प्रसिद्ध सक्रारि।  
> मोर पराक्रम नहिं सुनेहि जितेउँ चराचर झारि॥२७॥

Meaning: “I have a brother like Kumbhakarṇa (lit., one having ears as big as a pair of jars) and the renowned Meghanāda (the vanquisher of Indra) for my son. And have you never heard of my own valour, by which I have conquered the entire creation, both animate and inanimate? (27)
