Doha 43
भय आतुर कपि भागन लागे। जद्यपि उमा जीतिहहिं आगे॥ कोउ कह कहँ अंगद हनुमंता। कहँ नल नील दुबिद बलवंता॥ १ ॥
निज दल बिकल सुना हनुमाना। पच्छिम द्वार रहा बलवाना॥ मेघनाद तहँ करइ लराई। टूट न द्वार परम कठिनाई॥२॥
पवनतनय मन भा अति क्रोधा। गर्जेउ प्रबल काल सम जोधा॥ कूदि लंक गढ़ ऊपर आवा। गहि गिरि मेघनाद कहुँ धावा॥३॥
भंजेउ रथ सारथी निपाता। ताहि हृदय महुँ मारेसि लाता॥ दुसरें सूत बिकल तेहि जाना। स्यंदन घालि तुरत गृह आना॥४॥
Meaning
Struck with terror, continues Lord Śiva, the monkeys turned tail, although, Umā, they would come out victorious in the end. One exclaimed, “Where are Aṅgada and Hanumān? Where are the mighty Nala, Nīla and Dvivida?” (1) At the time Hanumān heard that his troops were breaking, that mighty warrior was holding his position at the western gate of Laṅkā, where Meghanāda led the defence. The gate, however, would not give way and Hanumān was faced with a mighty impediment.(2) The son of the wind god, Hanumān, grew terribly furious at heart and the warrior, who was formidable as death, gave a loud roar. He sprang and reached the fort of Laṅkā; and seizing a rock he rushed at Meghanāda, (3) shattered his chariot, overthrew the charioteer and kicked Meghanāda himself at his chest. Another charioteer, who perceived the distress of Meghanāda, picked him up in his own chariot and speedily brought him home. (4)
अंगद सुना पवनसुत गढ़ पर गयउ अकेल। रन बाँकुरा बालिसुत तरकि चढ़ेउ कपि खेल॥४३॥
Meaning
When Aṅgada heard that Hanumān, the son of the wind-god, had gone to the fort single handed, the son of Bāli, who was so valiant in battle, reached the fort in a single bound, as a monkey would do out of sheer fun. (43)
