Doha 77
बिनु प्रयास हनुमान उठायो। लंका द्वार राखि पुनि आयो॥ तासु मरन सुनि सुर गंधर्बा। चढ़ि बिमान आए नभ सर्बा॥१॥
बरषि सुमन दुंदुभीं बजावहिं। श्रीरघुनाथ बिमल जसु गावहिं॥ जय अनंत जय जगदाधारा। तुम्ह प्रभु सब देवन्हि निस्तारा॥२॥
अस्तुति करि सुर सिद्ध सिधाए। लछिमन कृपासिंधु पहिं आए॥ सुत बध सुना दसानन जबहीं। मुरुछित भयउ परेउ महि तबहीं॥३॥
मंदोदरी रुदन कर भारी। उर ताड़न बहु भाँति पुकारी॥ नगर लोग सब ब्याकुल सोचा। सकल कहहिं दसकंधर पोचा॥४॥
Meaning
Hanumān lifted him without any exertion and after placing him at the main gate of Laṅkā, returned. Hearing of his death, the gods as well as the Gandharvas all appeared in the heavens in their aerial cars. (1) Raining down flowers, they sounded their drums and sang the spotless glory of Śrī Raghunātha. “Glory to Lord Ananta! Glory to the support of the whole universe! You, O lord, have delivered the gods.” (2) Having thus hymned his praises, the gods as well as the Siddhas went their way, while Lakṣmaṇa arrived in the presence of the All-merciful Śrī Rāma. The moment the ten-headed monster heard the news of his son’s death, he dropped unconscious to the ground. (3) Mandodarī made grievous lamentation, beating her breast and wailing loudly in many ways. The citizens were all smitten with grief; everyone abused Rāvaṇa. (4)
तब दसकंठ बिबिधि बिधि समुझाईं सब नारि। नस्वर रूप जगत सब देखहु हृदयँ बिचारि॥७७॥
Meaning
Rāvaṇa then consoled all the womenfolk in various ways. “Perceive and realize in your heart”, he said, “that the entire universe is perishable.” (77)
