# Sunderkand · Doha 54

**चौ०** 
> नाथ कृपा करि पूँछेहु जैसें। मानहु कहा क्रोध तजि तैसें॥  
> मिला जाइ जब अनुज तुम्हारा। जातहिं राम तिलक तेहि सारा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> रावन दूत हमहि सुनि काना। कपिन्ह बाँधि दीन्हे दुख नाना॥  
> श्रवन नासिका काटैं लागे। राम सपथ दीन्हें हम त्यागे॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पूँछिहु नाथ राम कटकाई। बदन कोटि सत बरनि न जाई॥  
> नाना बरन भालु कपि धारी। बिकटानन बिसाल भयकारी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> जेहिं पुर दहेउ हतेउ सुत तोरा। सकल कपिन्ह महँ तेहि बलु थोरा॥  
> अमित नाम भट कठिन कराला। अमित नाग बल बिपुल बिसाला॥४॥

Meaning: “My lord, just as you have so kindly put these questions to me, so do you believe what I say and be not angry. No sooner had your younger brother (Vibhīṣaṇa) met Śrī Rāma than the latter applied the sacred Tilaka of kingship on his forehead. (1)

“When the monkeys heard that we were Rāvaṇa’s (Your majesty’s) spies, they bound us and persecuted us in many ways. They were about to cut off our ears and nose; but when we adjured them by Śrī Rāma not to do so, they let us go. (2)

“You have enquired, my lord, about Śrī Rāma’s army; but a thousand million tongues would fail to describe it. It is a host of bears and monkeys of diverse hues and gruesome visage, huge and terrible. (3)

“He who burnt your capital and killed your son, Akṣa, is but a weakling of all the monkeys. The army includes innumerable heroes with as many names, fierce and unyielding warriors of vast bulk and possessing the strength of innumerable elephants. (4)

**दो०** 
> द्विबिद मयंद नील नल अंगद गद बिकटासि।  
> दधिमुख केहरि निसठ सठ जामवंत बलरासि॥५४॥

Meaning: “Dvivida, Mainda, Nīla, Nala, Aṅgada, Gada, Vikaṭāsya, Dadhimukha, Kesarī, Niśaṭha, Śaṭha and the powerful Jāmbavān are some of them. (54)
