Doha 59
Śrī Rāma’s sport of a touching wail; Hanumān’s return; Lakṣmaṇa’s coming back to consciousness
परेउ मुरुछि महि लागत सायक । सुमिरत राम राम रघुनायक ॥ सुनि प्रिय बचन भरत तब धाए । कपि समीप अति आतुर आए ॥१॥
बिकल बिलोकि कीस उर लावा । जागत नहिं बहु भाँति जगावा ॥ मुख मलीन मन भए दुखारी । कहत बचन भरि लोचन बारी ॥२॥
जेहिं बिधि राम बिमुख मोहि कीन्हा । तेहिं पुनि यह दारुन दुख दीन्हा ॥ जौं मोरें मन बच अरु काया । प्रीति राम पद कमल अमाया ॥३॥
तौ कपि होउ बिगत श्रम सूला । जौं मो पर रघुपति अनुकूला ॥ सुनत बचन उठि बैठ कपीसा । कहि जय जयति कोसलाधीसा ॥४॥
Meaning
Struck by the dart, Hanumān dropped unconscious to the ground, uttering “Rāma, Rāma, O Raghupati!” The moment Bharata heard these pleasing words he rushed and came posthaste by the side of Hanumān. (1) Seeing Hanumān in swoon, the prince clasped him to his bosom and tried every means to bring him back to consciousness but in vain. With a sad look in his face and much distressed at heart and his eyes full of tears, he spoke the following words: (2) “The selfsame Providence who alienated me from Śrī Rāma has also inflicted this terrible suffering on me. If in thought, word and deed I cherish sincere devotion to Śrī Rāma’s lotus feet, and if Śrī Raghunātha is kindly disposed towards me, (3) “may this monkey be relieved of all exhaustion and pain.” As soon as these words entered his ears, the monkey chief, Hanumān, arose and sat up, exclaiming “Glory, all glory to Śrī Rāma, the Lord of Kosala!” (4)
लीन्ह कपिहि उर लाइ पुलकित तनु लोचन सजल । प्रीति न हृदयँ समाइ सुमिरि राम रघुकुल तिलक ॥५९॥
Meaning
A thrill of joy ran through his body and tears rushed to his eyes as Bharata took and clasped the monkey (Śrī Hanumān) to his bosom. Bharata’s heart overflowed with love at the very thought of Śrī Rāma, the glory of Raghu’s race. (59)
