# Lanka Kand · Doha 85

**चौ०** 
> इहाँ बिभीषन सब सुधि पाई। सपदि जाइ रघुपतिहि सुनाई॥  
> नाथ करइ रावन एक जागा। सिद्ध भएँ नहिं मरिहि अभागा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पठवहु नाथ बेगि भट बंदर। करहिं बिधंस आव दसकंधर॥  
> प्रात होत प्रभु सुभट पठाए। हनुमदादि अंगद सब धाए॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कौतुक कूदि चढ़े कपि लंका। पैठे रावन भवन असंका॥  
> जग्य करत जबहीं सो देखा। सकल कपिन्ह भा क्रोध बिसेषा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> रन ते निलज भाजि गृह आवा। इहाँ आइ बक ध्यान लगावा॥  
> अस कहि अंगद मारा लाता। चितव न सठ स्वारथ मन राता॥४॥

Meaning: At this end Vibhīṣaṇa got all the information and, hastening to Śrī Raghunātha, apprised Him of everything. “My lord, Rāvaṇa is busy with a sacrificial performance and if he completes it, the wretch will not die easily. (1)

“Therefore, my lord, despatch some valiant monkey-warriors at once, so that they may wreck his sacrifice, and the ten-headed monster be compelled to return to the battlefield.” As soon as the day broke the Lord sent out His heroes—Hanumān, Aṅgada and others, who all rushed forward. (2)

In mere sport the monkeys sprang up to the fort of Laṅkā and fearlessly entered Rāvaṇa’s palace. The moment they saw him engaged in a sacrifice all the monkeys grew wildly furious. (3)

“You shameless wretch, having run away home from the battle, you are sitting here and feign meditation!” So saying, Aṅgada struck him with his foot; but the fool did not even look at them, his mind being absorbed in the pursuit of his own end. (4)

**छं०** 
> नहिं चितव जब करि कोप कपि गहि दसन लातन्ह मारहीं।  
> धरि केस नारि निकारि बाहेर तेऽतिदीन पुकारहीं॥  
> तब उठेउ क्रुद्ध कृतांत सम गहि चरन बानर डारई।  
> एहि बीच कपिन्ह बिधंस कृत मख देखि मन महुँ हारई॥

Meaning: When he refused to look at them, the monkeys in their fury bit him with their teeth and kicked him. His wives, too, they seized by their locks and dragged them out of doors while they cried most piteously. Then at last he rose, furious as Death, and, catching hold of the monkeys by their legs, he threw them away. Meanwhile, when he saw that the monkeys had wrecked the sacrifice, he felt discomfited at heart.

**दो०** 
> जग्य बिधंसि कुसल कपि आए रघुपति पास।  
> चलेउ निसाचर क्रुद्ध होइ त्यागि जिवन कै आस॥८५॥

Meaning: Having wrecked his sacrifice, the clever monkeys safely returned to Śrī Raghunātha; while Rāvaṇa set out, ablaze with fury, abandoning all hope of life. (85)
