Doha 26
देह बिसाल परम हरुआई। मंदिर तें मंदिर चढ़ धाई॥ जरइ नगर भा लोग बिहाला। झपट लपट बहु कोटि कराला॥१॥
तात मातु हा सुनिअ पुकारा। एहिं अवसर को हमहि उबारा॥ हम जो कहा यह कपि नहिं होई। बानर रूप धरें सुर कोई॥२॥
साधु अवग्या कर फलु ऐसा। जरइ नगर अनाथ कर जैसा॥ जारा नगरु निमिष एक माहीं। एक बिभीषन कर गृह नाहीं॥३॥
ता कर दूत अनल जेहिं सिरिजा। जरा न सो तेहि कारन गिरिजा॥ उलटि पलटि लंका सब जारी। कूदि परा पुनि सिंधु मझारी॥४॥
Meaning
Though colossal in size, Hanumān appeared most nimble-bodied; he ran and sprang from palace to palace. The city was all ablaze and the people were at their wit’s end. Terrible flames burst forth in myriads. (1) And piteous cries were heard everywhere: “O father! ah, my mother! Who will save us at this hour? As I said, he is no monkey but some god in the form of a monkey.(2) “Such is the result of despising a noble soul: the city is being consumed by fire as though it had no master.” In the twinkling of an eye Hanumān burnt down the whole city barring the solitary house of Vibhīṣaṇa. (3) Pārvatī, (continues Lord Śiva,) Hanumān went unscathed because he was the messenger of Him who created fire itself. He burnt the whole of Laṅkā up and down (from one end to the other) and then jumped into the sea. (4)
पूँछ बुझाइ खोइ श्रम धरि लघु रूप बहोरि। जनकसुता कें आगें ठाढ़ भयउ कर जोरि॥२६॥
Meaning
After quenching his tail and relieving his fatigue he resumed his diminutive form and stood before Jānakī with folded hands. (26)
