Chaupāī

बुध पुरान श्रुति संमत बानी। कही बिभीषन नीति बखानी॥ सुनत दसानन उठा रिसाई। खल तोहि निकट मुत्यु अब आई॥ जिअसि सदा सठ मोर जिआवा। रिपु कर पच्छ मूढ़ तोहि भावा॥ कहसि खल अस को जग माहीं। भुज बल जाहि जिता मैं नाही॥ मम पुर बसि तपसिन्ह पर प्रीती। सठ मिलु जाइ तिन्हहि कहु नीती॥ अस कहि कीन्हेसि चरन प्रहारा। अनुज गहे पद बारहिं बारा॥ उमा संत कइ इहइ बड़ाई। मंद करत जो करइ भलाई॥ तुम्ह पितु सरिस भलेहिं मोहि मारा। रामु भजें हित नाथ तुम्हारा॥ सचिव संग लै नभ पथ गयऊ। सबहि सुनाइ कहत अस भयऊ॥

रामु सत्यसंकल्प प्रभु सभा कालबस तोरि। मै रघुबीर सरन अब जाउँ देहु जनि खोरि॥41॥

rāmu satyasaṃkalpa prabhu sabhā kālabasa tori mai raghubīra sarana aba jāu~ dehu jani khori 41

MeaningVibhishana spoke policy approved by the wise, the Puranas and the Vedas. Hearing it the Ten-faced one rose in fury: "Wretch, your death has now come near you! You ever live, fool, fed by me, yet, dullard, the enemy's side pleases you. Say, wretch — who in the world is there whom I have not conquered by arm-strength? Dwelling in my city you love the ascetics; fool, go join them and teach them policy!" So saying he dealt a kick; yet the younger brother clasped his feet again and again. (Says Shiva:) Uma, this is the greatness of saints — they do good even to one who does ill. "You are like a father; well have you struck me. To worship Rama is your welfare, lord." Taking his ministers he went by the sky-path, and proclaiming aloud he said this: "Rama, the Lord of true resolve, is (here); the court (of Lanka), and you, are in Death's grip. I now go to Raghuvira's refuge; lay no blame (on me)."
