# Lanka Kand · Doha 48b

**चौ०** 
> निसा जानि कपि चारिउ अनी। आए जहाँ कोसला धनी॥  
> राम कृपा करि चितवा सबही। भए बिगतश्रम बानर तबही॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> उहाँ दसानन सचिव हँकारे। सब सन कहेसि सुभट जे मारे॥  
> आधा कटकु कपिन्ह संघारा। कहहु बेगि का करिअ बिचारा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> माल्यवंत अति जरठ निसाचर। रावन मातु पिता मंत्री बर॥  
> बोला बचन नीति अति पावन। सुनहु तात कछु मोर सिखावन॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> जब ते तुम्ह सीता हरि आनी। असगुन होहिं न जाहिं बखानी॥  
> बेद पुरान जासु जसु गायो। राम बिमुख काहुँ न सुख पायो॥४॥

Meaning: Perceiving that it was now night, all the four divisions of the monkey host returned to the camp of Ayodhyā’s lord, Śrī Rāma. The monkeys were all relieved of their fatigue the moment Śrī Rāma cast His benign look on them. (1)

There in Laṅkā, Rāvaṇa sent for all his ministers and told them about the warriors that had been killed in action. “The monkeys have killed half of our forces; tell me at once what course should be adopted.” (2)

“Thereupon Mālyavān, a very aged demon, who was Rāvaṇa’s maternal grandfather and an eminent counsellor, spoke words of highly devout wisdom: “listen, my son, to a word of advice from me. (3)

“Ever since you carried off Sītā and brought Her here, there have been ill-omens more than one can tell. By opposing Śrī Rāma, whose glory has been the theme of the Vedas and Purāṇas, none has ever enjoyed happiness. (4)

**दो०** 
> हिरन्याच्छ भ्राता सहित मधु कैटभ बलवान।  
> जेहिं मारे सोइ अवतरेउ कृपासिंधु भगवान॥४८ (क)॥

**दो०** 
> कालरूप खल बन दहन गुनागार घनबोध।  
> सिव बिरंचि जेहि सेवहिं तासों कवन बिरोध॥४८ (ख)॥

Meaning: “The same gracious Lord who killed Hiraṇyākṣa with his brother Hiraṇyakaśipu, as well as the mighty Madhu and Kaiṭabha, has descended on earth (in the person of Śrī Rāma). (48 A)

[PAUSE 25 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION]

“Hostility is quite out of question with Him who is the personification of the Time-Spirit (the principle of destruction), a fire to consume the forest in the shape of the wicked, a repository of virtues and an embodiment of wisdom, and who is adored even by Śiva, and Brahmā. (48 B)
