Doha 52
प्रगट बखानहिं राम सुभाऊ। अति सप्रेम गा बिसरि दुराऊ॥ रिपु के दूत कपिन्ह तब जाने। सकल बाँधि कपीस पहिं आने॥१॥
कह सुग्रीव सुनहु सब बानर। अंग भंग करि पठवहु निसिचर॥ सुनि सुग्रीव बचन कपि धाए। बाँधि कटक चहु पास फिराए॥२॥
बहु प्रकार मारन कपि लागे। दीन पुकारत तदपि न त्यागे॥ जो हमार हर नासा काना। तेहि कोसलाधीस कै आना॥३॥
सुनि लछिमन सब निकट बोलाए। दया लागि हँसि तुरत छोड़ाए॥ रावन कर दीजहु यह पाती। लछिमन बचन बाचु कुलघाती॥४॥
Meaning
They openly commenced applauding Śrī Rāma’s amiability and in the intensity of their emotion forgot their disguise. The monkeys now recognized them as the enemy’s spies; they bound them all and brought them in the presence of Sugrīva (the lord of the monkeys). (1) Said Sugrīva, “Listen, all you monkeys: mutilate the demons and dismiss them.” Hearing Sugrīva’s command the monkeys ran and paraded them in bonds all through the camp. (2) The monkeys, then started belabouring them right and left; the demons piteously cried for mercy, yet the monkeys would not let them go. “Whosoever robs us of our nose and ears, we adjure him by Śrī Rāma not to do so.” (3) When Lakṣmaṇa heard this, he called them all near him; and, moved to pity, he laughed and immediately had them released. “Give this note into Rāvaṇa’s hands and tell him: ‘read, destroyer of your race, what Lakṣmaṇa says’. (4)
कहेहु मुखागर मूढ़ सन मम संदेसु उदार। सीता देइ मिलहु न त आवा कालु तुम्हार॥५२॥
Meaning
“Further convey to the fool by word of mouth my generous message: surrender Sītā and make peace (with Śrī Rāma), or (take it) your hour has come.” (52)
