# Sunderkand · Doha 43

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि करत सप्रेम बिचारा। आयउ सपदि सिंधु एहिं पारा॥  
> कपिन्ह बिभीषनु आवत देखा। जाना कोउ रिपु दूत बिसेषा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> ताहि राखि कपीस पहिं आए। समाचार सब ताहि सुनाए॥  
> कह सुग्रीव सुनहु रघुराई। आवा मिलन दसानन भाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कह प्रभु सखा बूझिऐ काहा। कहइ कपीस सुनहु नरनाहा॥  
> जानि न जाइ निसाचर माया। कामरूप केहि कारन आया॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> भेद हमार लेन सठ आवा। राखिअ बाँधि मोहि अस भावा॥  
> सखा नीति तुम्ह नीकि बिचारी। मम पन सरनागत भयहारी॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि प्रभु बचन हरष हनुमाना। सरनागत बच्छल भगवाना॥५॥

Meaning: Cherishing such fond expectations, Vibhīṣaṇa instantly crossed over to the other side of the sea (where Śrī Rāma had encamped along with His host). When the monkeys saw Vibhīṣaṇa coming, they took him for some special messenger of the enemy. (1)

Detaining him outside, they approached Sugrīva (the lord of the monkeys) and told him all the news. Said Sugrīva, “Listen, O Śrī Raghunātha, Rāvaṇa’s brother Vibhīṣaṇa has come to see You.” (2)

The Lord, however, asked, “What do you think of the matter, my friend?” The lord of the monkeys, Sugrīva, replied, “Listen, O Ruler of men: the wiles of these demons are beyond one’s comprehension. One does not know wherefore he has come, capable as he is of taking any form he likes. (3)

“Obviously the fool has come to spy out our secrets; what appeals to me, therefore, is that he should be taken prisoner and detained.” (Śrī Rāma said:) “Friend, you have thought out a wise course; but My vow is to dispel all fears from the mind of those who seek refuge in Me.” (4)

Hanumān rejoiced to hear these words of the Lord, who cherishes paternal affection for His proteges. (5)

**दो०** 
> सरनागत कहुँ जे तजहिं निज अनहित अनुमानि।  
> ते नर पावँर पापमय तिन्हहि बिलोकत हानि॥४३॥

Meaning: “Those people who forsake a suppliant, apprehending evil from him, are vile and sinful; their very sight is abominable. (43)
