जौं रघुबीर होति सुधि पाई। करते नहिं बिलंबु रघुराई॥ रामबान रबि उएँ जानकी। तम बरूथ कहँ जातुधान की॥ अबहिं मातु मैं जाउँ लवाई। प्रभु आयसु नहिं राम दोहाई॥ कछुक दिवस जननी धरु धीरा। कपिन्ह सहित अइहहिं रघुबीरा॥ निसिचर मारि तोहि लै जैहहिं। तिहुँ पुर नारदादि जसु गैहहिं॥ हैं सुत कपि सब तुम्हहि समाना। जातुधान अति भट बलवाना॥ मोरें हृदय परम संदेहा। सुनि कपि प्रगट कीन्ह निज देहा॥ कनक भूधराकार सरीरा। समर भयंकर अतिबल बीरा॥ सीता मन भरोस तब भयऊ। पुनि लघु रूप पवनसुत लयऊ॥

सुनु माता साखामृग नहिं बल बुद्धि बिसाल। प्रभु प्रताप तें गरुड़हि खाइ परम लघु ब्याल॥16॥

sunu mātā sākhāmṛga nahiṃ bala buddhi bisāla prabhu pratāpa teṃ garuḍahi khāi parama laghu byāla 16

Meaning(Hanuman said:) "Had Raghuvira got the news, he would not delay. When Rama's arrow-sun rises, where (will be) the demons' host of darkness, Janaki? Even now, Mother, let me carry you away — but without the Lord's command, by Rama's oath (I may not). Hold patience a few days, Mother; Raghuvira will come with the monkeys, slay the demons and bear you off, and in all three worlds Narada and the rest will sing your glory." (Sita said:) "But son, are all the monkeys like you? The demons are mighty warriors — great is the doubt in my heart." Hearing this, the monkey revealed his own form — golden and mountain-like, terrible in battle, a hero of immense might. Then Sita's mind gained confidence, and the son of the Wind took the tiny form again. "Listen, Mother — a tree-creature has no great strength or wit; but by the Lord's power even a tiny serpent (can) devour Garuda."
