Doha 52

चौ०

नभ चढ़ि बरष बिपुल अंगारा। महि ते प्रगट होहिं जलधारा॥ नाना भाँति पिसाच पिसाची। मारु काटु धुनि बोलहिं नाची॥१॥

चौ०

बिष्टा पूय रुधिर कच हाड़ा। बरषइ कबहुँ उपल बहु छाड़ा॥ बरषि धूरि कीन्हेसि अँधिआरा। सूझ न आपन हाथ पसारा॥२॥

चौ०

कपि अकुलाने माया देखें। सब कर मरन बना एहि लेखें॥ कौतुक देखि राम मुसुकाने। भए सभीत सकल कपि जाने॥३॥

चौ०

एक बान काटी सब माया। जिमि दिनकर हर तिमिर निकाया॥ कृपादृष्टि कपि भालु बिलोके। भए प्रबल रन रहहिं न रोके॥४॥

Meaning

Mounting up in the air he rained down a shower of firebrands, and spouts of water issued forth from the earth. Fiends and fiendesses of diverse form danced with cries of “Maim and kill?” (1) Now he would rain down showers of faeces, pus, blood, hair and bones; and now he would hurl a volley of stones. By discharging dust all round he made it look so dark that if you held out your own hand you would not see it. (2) The monkeys lost their nerve when they saw these occult phenomena. “At this rate we are all doomed,” they thought. Śrī Rāma smiled when He saw this spectacle; at the same time He understood that the monkeys were all alarmed. (3) With a single arrow He broke the illusive web, even as the sun removes the thick veil of darkness. He cast a gracious look on the monkeys and bears, and lo! they grew too strong to be restrained from fighting. (4)

दो०

आयसु मागि राम पहिं अंगदादि कपि साथ। लछिमन चले क्रुद्ध होइ बान सरासन हाथ॥५२॥

Meaning

Taking leave of Śrī Rāma and accompanied by Aṅgada and other monkey chiefs, Lakṣmaṇa marched forth in fury, bow and arrow in hand. (52)
