Doha 45
सादर तेहि आगें करि बानर। चले जहाँ रघुपति करुनाकर॥ दूरिहि ते देखे द्वौ भ्राता। नयनानंद दान के दाता॥१॥
बहुरि राम छबिधाम बिलोकी। रहेउ ठटुकि एकटक पल रोकी॥ भुज प्रलंब कंजारुन लोचन। स्यामल गात प्रनत भय मोचन॥२॥
सिंघ कंध आयत उर सोहा। आनन अमित मदन मन मोहा॥ नयन नीर पुलकित अति गाता। मन धरि धीर कही मृदु बाता॥३॥
नाथ दसानन कर मैं भ्राता। निसिचर बंस जनम सुरत्राता॥ सहज पापप्रिय तामस देहा। जथा उलूकहि तम पर नेहा॥४॥
Meaning
The monkeys respectfully placed Vibhīṣaṇa ahead of them and proceeded to the place where the all-merciful Śrī Raghunātha was. Vibhīṣaṇa beheld from a distance the two brothers, who ravished the eyes of all. (1) Again, as he beheld Śrī Rāma, the epitome of beauty, he stopped winking and stood stock-still with his gaze intently fixed on the Lord. He had exceptionally long arms, eyes resembling the red lotus and swarthy limbs that rid the suppliant of all fear. (2) His lion-like shoulders and broad chest exercised great charm, while His countenance bewitched the mind of countless Cupids. The sight brought tears to Vibhīṣaṇa’s eyes and a deep joyous thrill ran through his body. He, however, composed his mind and spoke in gentle accents: (3) “My lord, I am Rāvaṇa’s brother. Having been born in the demon race, O Protector of gods, my body has the element of Tamas (inertia and ignorance) preponderating in it and I have a natural affinity for sins even as an owl is fond of darkness. (4)
श्रवन सुजसु सुनि आयउँ प्रभु भंजन भव भीर। त्राहि त्राहि आरति हरन सरन सुखद रघुबीर॥४५॥
Meaning
“Having heard with my own ears of Your fair renown, I have come to You with the belief that You, my lord, dissipate the fear of rebirth. Save me, save me, O Śrī Raghuvīra, reliever of distress, delighter of those who take refuge in you.” (45)
