Doha 6
लंका निसिचर निकर निवासा। इहाँ कहाँ सज्जन कर बासा॥ मन महुँ तरक करैं कपि लागा। तेहीं समय बिभीषनु जागा॥१॥
राम राम तेहिं सुमिरन कीन्हा। हृदयँ हरष कपि सज्जन चीन्हा॥ एहि सन हठि करिहउँ पहिचानी। साधु ते होइ न कारज हानी॥२॥
बिप्र रूप धरि बचन सुनाए। सुनत बिभीषन उठि तहँ आए॥ करि प्रनाम पूँछी कुसलाई। बिप्र कहहु निज कथा बुझाई॥३॥
की तुम्ह हरि दासन्ह महँ कोई। मोरें हृदय प्रीति अति होई॥ की तुम्ह रामु दीन अनुरागी। आयहु मोहि करन बड़भागी॥४॥
Meaning
‘Laṅkā is the abode of multitudes of demons; how could a pious man take up his residence here?’ While Hanumān was thus reasoning within himself, Vibhīṣaṇa (Rāvaṇa’s youngest brother) woke up. (1) He began to repeat Śrī Rāma’s name in prayer and Hanumān was delighted at heart to find a virtuous soul. ‘I shall make acquaintance with him at all events; for one’s cause can never suffer at the hands of a saint.’ (2) Having thus resolved he assumed the form of a Brāhmaṇa and hailed Vibhīṣaṇa. As soon as he heard Hanumān’s words, he rose and came where the latter was. Bowing low he enquired about the Brāhmaṇa’s welfare. Tell me all about you, holy Sir. (3) “Are you one of Śrī Hari’s own servants (Nārada and others)? My heart is filled with exceeding love at your sight. Or, are you Śrī Rāma Himself, a loving friend of the poor, who have come to bless me (by your sight)?” (4)
तब हनुमंत कही सब राम कथा निज नाम। सुनत जुगल तन पुलक मन मगन सुमिरि गुन ग्राम॥६॥
Meaning
Thereupon Hanumān told him all about Śrī Rāma and disclosed his identity as well. The moment Vibhīṣaṇa heard this, a thrill ran through the body of both and they were transported with joy at the thought of Śrī Rāma’s host of virtues. (6)
