# Lanka Kand · Doha 60b

**चौ०** 
> तात कुसल कहु सुखनिधान की । सहित अनुज अरु मातु जानकी ॥  
> कपि सब चरित समास बखाने । भए दुखी मन महुँ पछिताने ॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> अहह दैव मैं कत जग जायउँ । प्रभु के एकहु काज न आयउँ ॥  
> जानि कुअवसरु मन धरि धीरा । पुनि कपि सन बोले बलबीरा ॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> तात गहरु होइहि तोहि जाता । काजु नसाइहि होत प्रभाता ॥  
> चढ़ु मम सायक सैल समेता । पठवौं तोहि जहँ कृपानिकेता ॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि कपि मन उपजा अभिमाना । मोरें भार चलिहि किमि बाना ॥  
> राम प्रभाव बिचारि बहोरी । बंदि चरन कह कपि कर जोरी ॥४॥

Meaning: “Tell me, dear friend, if all is well with Śrī Rāma, the Fountain of Joy, as well as with His younger brother, Lakṣmaṇa, and my mother, Jānakī.” The monkey chief, Hanumān, told him in brief all that had happened and Bharata felt much distressed to hear it and his heart was filled with remorse. (1)

“Ah me, good heavens, why should I have been born into this world at all, if I could not be of any service to the Lord?” But realizing the adverse circumstances, the gallant and mighty prince recollected himself and addressed Hanumān again. (2)

“You will be delayed in your journey and nothing will avail after daybreak. Therefore, ascend my arrow, mountain and all, and I will send you straight into the presence of the All-merciful.” (3)

Hanumān’s self-esteem was slightly piqued when he heard these words: ‘How will the arrow fly with my weight?’ he thought (for a moment). Then, recalling Śrī Rāma’s glory, he bowed at Bharata’s feet and spoke with folded hands: (4)

**दो०** 
> तव प्रताप उर राखि प्रभु जैहउँ नाथ तुरंत ।  
> अस कहि आयसु पाइ पद बंदि चलेउ हनुमंत ॥६० (क)॥

**दो०** 
> भरत बाहुबल सील गुन प्रभु पद प्रीति अपार ।  
> मन महुँ जात सराहत पुनि पुनि पवनकुमार ॥६० (ख)॥

Meaning: “Cherishing the thought of your majesty, my lord, I will go swiftly.” So saying and taking leave of Bharata, Hanumān bowed at his feet and sped on. (60 A)

As he journeyed forth, the son of the wind-god, Hanumān, extolled to himself again and again Bharata’s strength of arm, amiability and goodness as well as his boundless devotion to the Lord’s feet. (60 B)
