अस प्रभु छाड़ि भजहिं जे आना। ते नर पसु बिनु पूँछ बिषाना॥ निज जन जानि ताहि अपनावा। प्रभु सुभाव कपि कुल मन भावा॥ पुनि सर्बग्य सर्ब उर बासी। सर्बरूप सब रहित उदासी॥ बोले बचन नीति प्रतिपालक। कारन मनुज दनुज कुल घालक॥ सुनु कपीस लंकापति बीरा। केहि बिधि तरिअ जलधि गंभीरा॥ संकुल मकर उरग झष जाती। अति अगाध दुस्तर सब भाँती॥ कह लंकेस सुनहु रघुनायक। कोटि सिंधु सोषक तव सायक॥ जद्यपि तदपि नीति असि गाई। बिनय करिअ सागर सन जाई॥

Meaning(Such a Lord) — they who forsake him and worship another are beasts without tail or horns. Knowing him his own, (the Lord) made him his own; the Lord's nature pleased the monkey-host's mind. Then the All-knowing, dwelling in all hearts, of all forms, devoid of all and unattached, spoke words upholding policy — the Cause (of all) wearing a human form, destroyer of the demon race: "Listen, monkey-king, and hero lord of Lanka — by what means may the deep ocean be crossed, crowded with crocodiles, serpents and (many) kinds of fish, exceedingly fathomless and hard to cross in every way?" The lord of Lanka said, "Hear, Raghunath — though your arrow is the drier of a crore of oceans, yet policy is so sung: go and make entreaty to the ocean. Lord, the ocean is of your own line — pondering, he will tell a means, and without effort the whole host of bears and monkeys will cross over."
