Chaupāī

पूँछहीन बानर तहँ जाइहि। तब सठ निज नाथहि लइ आइहि॥ जिन्ह कै कीन्हसि बहुत बड़ाई। देखेउँमैं तिन्ह कै प्रभुताई॥ बचन सुनत कपि मन मुसुकाना। भइ सहाय सारद मैं जाना॥ जातुधान सुनि रावन बचना। लागे रचैं मूढ़ सोइ रचना॥ रहा नगर बसन घृत तेला। बाढ़ी पूँछ कीन्ह कपि खेला॥ कौतुक कहँ आए पुरबासी। मारहिं चरन करहिं बहु हाँसी॥ बाजहिं ढोल देहिं सब तारी। नगर फेरि पुनि पूँछ प्रजारी॥ पावक जरत देखि हनुमंता। भयउ परम लघु रुप तुरंता॥ निबुकि चढ़ेउ कपि कनक अटारीं। भई सभीत निसाचर नारीं॥

Dohā

हरि प्रेरित तेहि अवसर चले मरुत उनचास। अट्टहास करि गर्ज़ा कपि बढ़ि लाग अकास॥25॥

hari prerita tehi avasara cale maruta unacāsa aṭṭahāsa kari garjā kapi baḍhi lāga akāsa 25

Meaning"The tailless monkey will go there, and then the fool will bring his master, of whose greatness he made so much; I shall see their might too." Hearing this, the monkey smiled in his mind: "Saraswati has come to my aid, I know." Hearing Ravana's words, the demon fools set about that very task. No cloth, ghee or oil was left in the city; the tail grew (long) — the monkey made sport. The city-folk came to see the spectacle, kicked him and mocked much; drums beat, all clapped, and parading him round the city they set his tail alight. Seeing the fire blaze, Hanuman at once became exceedingly small; slipping free, the monkey climbed the golden mansions, and the demon-women were terrified. At that moment, impelled by Hari, the forty-nine winds blew; with a loud laugh the monkey roared and grew till he reached the sky.
