Doha 55
Hanumān fetches the physician Suṣeṇa and proceeds in quest of the life-giving herb; dialogue between Kālanemi and Rāvaṇa, redemption of the she-alligator; deliverance of Kālanemi
सुनु गिरिजा क्रोधानल जासू। जारइ भुवन चारिदस आसू॥ सक संग्राम जीति को ताही। सेवहिं सुर नर अग जग जाही॥१॥
यह कौतूहल जानइ सोई। जा पर कृपा राम कै होई॥ संध्या भइ फिरि द्वौ बाहनी। लगे सँभारन निज निज अनी॥२॥
ब्यापक ब्रह्म अजित भुवनेस्वर। लछिमन कहाँ बूझ करुनाकर॥ तब लगि लै आयउ हनुमाना। अनुज देखि प्रभु अति दुख माना॥३॥
जामवंत कह बैद सुषेना। लंकाँ रहइ को पठई लेना॥ धरि लघु रूप गयउ हनुमंता। आनेउ भवन समेत तुरंता॥४॥
Meaning
Listen, Pārvatī : (continues Lord Śiva,) none can conquer him in battle, the fire of whose (Śeṣa’s) wrath speedily consumes all the fourteen spheres (at the time of universal dissolution), and whom gods and human beings, nay, all animate and inanimate beings adore. (1) He alone can understand this mystery on whom descends Śrī Rāma’s grace. Now that it was evening, both the armies retired and the commanders of the different units began taking count of their troops. (2) The All-merciful and invincible Lord of the universe, the all-pervading supreme Spirit, Śrī Rāma asked: “Where is Lakṣmaṇa?” Meanwhile Hanumān brought him; seeing His younger brother in a swoon the Lord felt sore distressed. (3) Jāmbavān said, “Suṣeṇa, the physician, lives in Laṅkā; someone should be sent to fetch him here.” Assuming a minute (indiscernible) form Hanumān went and immediately brought him, house and all. (4)
राम पदारबिंद सिर नायउ आइ सुषेन। कहा नाम गिरि औषधी जाहु पवनसुत लेन॥५५॥
Meaning
Suṣeṇa came and bowed his head at Śrī Rāma’s lotus-feet. He mentioned the name of the herb as well as the mountain where it could be found, and said, “Proceed, O son of the wind-god, to bring it.” (55)
