Doha 5
प्रबिसि नगर कीजे सब काजा। हृदयँ राखि कोसलपुर राजा॥ गरल सुधा रिपु करहिं मिताई। गोपद सिंधु अनल सितलाई॥१॥
गरुड़ सुमेरु रेनु सम ताही। राम कृपा करि चितवा जाही॥ अति लघु रूप धरेउ हनुमाना। पैठा नगर सुमिरि भगवाना॥२॥
मंदिर मंदिर प्रति करि सोधा। देखे जहँ तहँ अगनित जोधा॥ गयउ दसानन मंदिर माहीं। अति बिचित्र कहि जात सो नाहीं॥३॥
सयन किएँ देखा कपि तेही। मंदिर महुँ न दीखि बैदेही॥ भवन एक पुनि दीख सुहावा। हरि मंदिर तहँ भिन्न बनावा॥४॥
Meaning
“Enter the city with the Lord of Ayodhyā, Śrī Raghunātha, enshrined in your heart and accomplish all your task.” (Kākabhuṣuṇḍi said:) “Poison is transformed into nectar, foes turn friends, the ocean contracts itself to the size of a cow’s footprint, fire becomes cool,(1) “and Mount Meru, O Garuḍa, appears like a grain of sand to him on whom Śrī Rāma casts His benign look.” Hanumān assumed a very minute form and invoking Śrī Rāma entered the city. (2) He ransacked every mansion and saw countless warriors here and there. Then he made his way into Rāvaṇa’s palace, which was marvellous beyond words. (3) He saw the demon chief buried in sleep; but he did not find Jānakī there. He then noticed another splendid building, with a temple sacred to Śrī Hari, standing apart. (4)
रामायुध अंकित गृह सोभा बरनि न जाइ। नव तुलसिका बृंद तहँ देखि हरष कपिराइ॥५॥
Meaning
The mansion had the weapons (bow and arrow) of Śrī Rāma painted on its walls and was glorious beyond words. The monkey chief, Hanumān, rejoiced to see clusters of young Tulasī plants there. (5)
