Doha 64
Kumbhakarṇa joins the battle and attains final beatitude
महिष खाइ करि मदिरा पाना। गर्जा बज्राघात समाना॥ कुंभकरन दुर्मद रन रंगा। चला दुर्ग तजि सेन न संगा॥१॥
देखि बिभीषनु आगें आयउ। परेउ चरन निज नाम सुनायउ॥ अनुज उठाइ हृदयँ तेहि लायो। रघुपति भक्त जानि मन भायो॥२॥
तात लात रावन मोहि मारा। कहत परम हित मंत्र बिचारा॥ तेहिं गलानि रघुपति पहिं आयउँ। देखि दीन प्रभु के मन भायउँ॥३॥
सुनु सुत भयउ कालबस रावन। सो कि मान अब परम सिखावन॥ धन्य धन्य तैं धन्य बिभीषन। भयहु तात निसिचर कुल भूषन॥४॥
बंधु बंस तैं कीन्ह उजागर। भजेहु राम सोभा सुख सागर॥५॥
Meaning
Having feasted on the buffaloes and drunk off the wine, Kumbhakarṇa roared like a crash of lightning. Heavily drunk and full of passion for war, he sallied forth from the fort without any troops. (1) When Vibhīṣaṇa saw him, he came forward and falling at his feet told him his name. Kumbhakarṇa in his turn lifted his younger brother and clasped him to his bosom; he was delighted at heart to know that his brother was a devotee of Śrī Raghunātha. (2) “Dear brother, Rāvaṇa spurned me with a kick of his foot when I gave him the most salutary advice and told him my view. Disgusted with such treatment I came away to Śrī Rāma, and the Lord’s heart was drawn towards me when he perceived my distress.” (3) “Listen, my loved one; Rāvaṇa is in the clutches of death and would not listen even to the best advice at this stage. Thrice blessed are you, Vibhīṣaṇa; you have proved to be the ornament of the demon race. (4) “Brother, you have brought glory to our lineage by adoring Śrī Rāma, that ocean of beauty and felicity. (5)
बचन कर्म मन कपट तजि भजेहु राम रनधीर। जाहु न निज पर सूझ मोहि भयउँ कालबस बीर॥६४॥
Meaning
“In thought, word and deed you should guilelessly worship Śrī Rāma, who is staunch in battle. Now leave me; for, doomed as I am to death, brother, I can no longer distinguish between friend and foe.” (64)
