Doha 16
जौं रघुबीर होति सुधि पाई। करते नहिं बिलंबु रघुराई॥ राम बान रबि उएँ जानकी। तम बरूथ कहँ जातुधान की॥ १॥
अबहिं मातु मैं जाउँ लवाई। प्रभु आयसु नहिं राम दोहाई॥ कछुक दिवस जननी धरु धीरा। कपिन्ह सहित अइहहिं रघुबीरा॥२॥
निसिचर मारि तोहि लै जैहहिं। तिहुँ पुर नारदादि जसु गैहहिं॥ हैं सुत कपि सब तुम्हहि समाना। जातुधान अति भट बलवाना॥३॥
मोरें हृदय परम संदेहा। सुनि कपि प्रगट कीन्हि निज देहा॥ कनक भूधराकार सरीरा। समर भयंकर अतिबल बीरा॥४॥
सीता मन भरोस तब भयऊ। पुनि लघु रूप पवनसुत लयऊ॥५॥
Meaning
“Had Śrī Rāma any news about You, He would not have tarried. The moment Śrī Rāma’s arrows make their appearance like the sun, the demon host would be scattered like the darkness of night. (1) “Mother, I could take You to Him this very moment; but, I swear by Śrī Rāma, I have no such orders from the Lord. Therefore, wait patiently for some days more, mother, till Śrī Rāma arrives with the troops of monkeys. (2) “Slaughtering the demons, He will take You away, while Nārada and the other sages will glorify Him in all the three spheres.” “But, my son, all the monkeys must be pygmies like you, whereas the demons are mighty and great warriors. (3) “I have grave misgivings in my heart on this score.” On hearing this, Hanumān revealed His natural form, colossal as a mountain of gold, causing dread in the hearts of enemies, mighty and full of valour. (4) Sītā now felt reassured in Her mind and Hanumān thereupon resumed his diminutive appearance. (5)
सुनु माता साखामृग नहिं बल बुद्धि बिसाल। प्रभु प्रताप तें गरुड़हि खाइ परम लघु ब्याल॥१६॥
Meaning
“Listen, mother, monkeys possess no great strength or intelligence either; but through the Lord’s glory, the most tiny snake can swallow Garuḍa (the king of birds and the mount of Bhagavān Viṣṇu).” (16)
