# Lanka Kand · Doha 58

**चौ०** 
> कपि तव दरस भइउँ निष्पापा । मिटा तात मुनिबर कर सापा ॥  
> मुनि न होइ यह निसिचर घोरा । मानहु सत्य बचन कपि मोरा ॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> अस कहि गई अपछरा जबहीं । निसिचर निकट गयउ कपि तबहीं ॥  
> कह कपि मुनि गुरदछिना लेहू । पाछें हमहि मंत्र तुम्ह देहू ॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सिर लंगूर लपेटि पछारा । निज तनु प्रगटेसि मरती बारा ॥  
> राम राम कहि छाड़ेसि प्राना । सुनि मन हरषि चलेउ हनुमाना ॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> देखा सैल न औषध चीन्हा । सहसा कपि उपारि गिरि लीन्हा ॥  
> गहि गिरि निसि नभ धावत भयऊ। अवधपुरी ऊपर कपि गयऊ॥ ४ ॥

Meaning: “By your very sight, O dear monkey, I have been absolved of all sins and the curse of the great sage (which accounted for my birth in an alligator’s womb) has come to an end. This fellow, O monkey chief, is no hermit but a terrible demon: believe my words to be true.” (1)

So saying, the celestial nymph left for her abode in heaven and Hanumān immediately returned to the demon. Said Hanumān: “First receive, holy sir, your fee as my ‘spiritual preceptor’ and after that impart to me the sacred formula.” (2)

Hanumān then twisted his tail round the hermit’s head and knocked him down, and he appeared in his natural (demoniac) form at the moment of his death and gave up the ghost while muttering “Rāma, Rāma”. Hanumān was delighted at heart to hear this name (from his mouth) and proceeded on his journey. (3)

He found the mountain but failed to identify the herb (prescribed by Suṣeṇa); he, therefore, lost no time in uprooting the mount itself. Holding up the mountain in his hand, Hanumān darted back through the air while it was yet night and happened to pass over the city of Ayodhyā. (4)

**दो०** 
> देखा भरत बिसाल अति निसिचर मन अनुमानि ।  
> बिनु फर सायक मारेउ चाप श्रवन लगि तानि ॥५८॥

Meaning: Bharata (who kept vigil at night ever since his return from Citrakūṭa) espied a colossal figure coursing through the air and thinking it to be some demon drew his bow to the ear and struck him with a headless shaft. (58)
