# Lanka Kand · Doha 47

Mālyavān’s admonition to Rāvaṇa

**चौ०** 
> सकल मरमु रघुनायक जाना। लिए बोलि अंगद हनुमाना॥  
> समाचार सब कहि समुझाए। सुनत कोपि कपिकुंजर धाए॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि कृपाल हँसि चाप चढ़ावा। पावक सायक सपदि चलावा॥  
> भयउ प्रकास कतहुँ तम नाहीं। ग्यान उदयँ जिमि संसय जाहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> भालु बलीमुख पाइ प्रकासा। धाए हरष बिगत श्रम त्रासा॥  
> हनूमान अंगद रन गाजे। हाँक सुनत रजनीचर भाजे॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> भागत भट पटकहिं धरि धरनी। करहिं भालु कपि अद्भुत करनी॥  
> गहि पद डारहिं सागर माहीं। मकर उरग झष धरि धरि खाहीं॥४॥

Meaning: Śrī Raghunātha understood the secret of it all and summoned Aṅgada and Hanumān. He apprised them of all that was going on and issued necessary instructions to them. The two monkey chiefs rushed forth in a fury as soon as they heard the instructions. (1)

The All-merciful then drew His bow with a smile and forthwith let fly a fiery dart. Lo ! there was light all around and no trace of darkness was left anywhere, even as doubts disappear with the dawn of spiritual enlightenment. (2)

The bears and monkeys were relieved of their fatigue and rid of all fear when they saw light again, and pressed on exultingly. Hanumān and Aṅgada thundered on the field of battle and the demons fled at their menacing roar. (3)

But the bears and monkeys seized the demon-warriors in their flight and dashed them to the ground, performing marvellous feats of strength even as they did so; or, catching them by the leg, hurled them into the ocean, where alligators, serpents and fish snapped them up and devoured them. (4)

**दो०** 
> कछु मारे कछु घायल कछु गढ़ चढ़े पराइ।  
> गर्जहिं भालु बलीमुख रिपु दल बल बिचलाइ॥४७॥

Meaning: Some were killed, some more were wounded, while others scampered away and clambered the fort. Having thus scattered the hostile forces, the bears and monkeys gave a loud roar. (47)
