# Lanka Kand · Doha 53

**चौ०** 
> छतज नयन उर बाहु बिसाला। हिमगिरि निभ तनु कछु एक लाला॥  
> इहाँ दसानन सुभट पठाए। नाना अस्त्र सस्त्र गहि धाए॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> भूधर नख बिटपायुध धारी। धाए कपि जय राम पुकारी॥  
> भिरे सकल जोरिहि सन जोरी। इत उत जय इच्छा नहिं थोरी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मुठिकन्ह लातन्ह दातन्ह काटहिं। कपि जयसील मारि पुनि डाटहिं॥  
> मारु मारु धरु धरु धरु मारू। सीस तोरि गहि भुजा उपारू॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> असि रव पूरि रही नव खंडा। धावहिं जहँ तहँ रुंड प्रचंडा॥  
> देखहिं कौतुक नभ सुर बृंदा। कबहुँक बिसमय कबहुँ अनंदा॥४॥

Meaning: With bloodshot eyes, a broad chest and long arms, his white form shone like the snow-clad Himālaya with a slight admixture of red. At the other end the ten-headed monster sent out heroes, who rushed forth equipped with missiles and other weapons of all kinds. (1)

With mountains, claws and trees for weapons, the monkeys hastened to meet the demons, shouting “Victory to Śrī Rāma.” They all closed in the fray, match with match, both the sides equally agog to win. (2)

The monkeys, who had now the upper hand, battered the demons with their fists and feet and bit them with their teeth. They struck them down and browbeat them. “Kill, kill, seize, seize, seize, slay, break his head, seize his arm and tear it up !”– (3)

Such were the cries that filled the air through all the nine divisions of the globe. Headless bodies sprinted furiously hither and thither. Hosts of celestials witnessed the spectacle from heaven, now with joy and now in dismay. (4)

**दो०** 
> रुधिर गाड़ भरि भरि जम्यो ऊपर धूरि उड़ाइ।  
> जनु अँगार रासिन्ह पर मृतक धूम रह्यो छाइ॥५३॥

Meaning: Blood had collected in the hollows of the earth and clotted up there and clouds of dust hung over it like ashes over heaps of live coal. (53)
