Doha 6
निज बिकलता बिचारि बहोरी। बिहँसि गयउ गृह करि भय भोरी॥ मंदोदरीं सुन्यो प्रभु आयो। कौतुकहीं पाथोधि बँधायो॥१॥
कर गहि पतिहि भवन निज आनी। बोली परम मनोहर बानी॥ चरन नाइ सिरु अंचलु रोपा। सुनहु बचन पिय परिहरि कोपा॥२॥
नाथ बयरु कीजे ताही सों। बुधि बल सकिअ जीति जाही सों॥ तुम्हहि रघुपतिहि अंतर कैसा। खलु खद्योत दिनकरहि जैसा॥३॥
अतिबल मधु कैटभ जेहिं मारे। महाबीर दितिसुत संघारे॥ जेहिं बलि बाँधि सहसभुज मारा। सोइ अवतरेउ हरन महि भारा॥४॥
तासु बिरोध न कीजिअ नाथा। काल करम जिव जाकें हाथा॥५॥
Meaning
Then realizing his own nervousness, he (outwardly) laughed and left for his palace forgetting his fear. When Mandodarī (Rāvaṇas consort) heard that the Lord had arrived and had bridged the ocean in mere sport, (1) she took her spouse by the hand, led him to her own palace and spoke to him in most sweet accents. Bowing her head at his feet, she spread the end of her sari as a token of supplication and said, “Listen to my words without getting angry, my dearest lord: (2) “One should enter into hostilities with him alone whom one may be able to conquer by strategy and physical force. The disparity between you and Śrī Raghunātha, however, is certainly analogous to that obtaining between a fire-fly and the sun. (3) “He who disposed of the most powerful Madhu and Kaiṭabha and finished the most valiant sons of Diti (Hiraṇyakaśipu and Hiraṇyākṣa), nay, who bound Bali and killed King Sahasrabāhu (so-called because he was possessed of a thousand arms)—it is He who has descended on earth in order to relieve it of its burden. (4) “My lord, you should not oppose Him, who is the Master of Time, fate and the Jīva (embodied soul). (5)
रामहि सौंपि जानकी नाइ कमल पद माथ। सुत कहुँ राज समर्पि बन जाइ भजिअ रघुनाथ॥६॥
Meaning
“Bowing your head at Śrī Rāma’s lotus-feet restore Jānakī to Him; then, handing over the kingdom to your son and, retiring to the forest, worship Śrī Raghunātha. (6)
