Chaupāī

सखा कही तुम्ह नीकि उपाई। करिअ दैव जौं होइ सहाई॥ मंत्र यह लछिमन मन भावा। राम बचन सुनि अति दुख पावा॥ नाथ दैव कर कवन भरोसा। सोषिअ सिंधु करिअ मन रोसा॥ कादर मन कहुँ एक अधारा। दैव दैव आलसी पुकारा॥ सुनत बिहसि बोले रघुबीरा। ऐसेहिं करब धरहु मन धीरा॥ अस कहि प्रभु अनुजहि समुझाई। सिंधु समीप गए रघुराई॥ प्रथम प्रनाम कीन्ह सिरु नाई। बैठे पुनि तट दर्भ डसाई॥ जबहिं बिभीषन प्रभु पहिं आए। पाछें रावन दूत पठाए॥

सकल चरित तिन्ह देखे धरें कपट कपि देह। प्रभु गुन हृदयँ सराहहिं सरनागत पर नेह॥51॥

Meaning"Friend, you have told a good means; let it be done — if Fate be helpful." This counsel pleased not Lakshmana's mind; hearing Rama's words he felt great pain: "Lord, what reliance on Fate? Dry up the ocean — make wrath in your mind. To the coward's mind there is one support; the lazy man cries 'Fate, Fate.'" Hearing this Raghuvira laughed and said, "Even so will I do; keep your mind firm." So saying and instructing his brother, Raghuraja went near the ocean; first he made obeisance, bowing his head, then sat on the shore, spreading kusha grass. The very moment Vibhishana came to the Lord, Ravana had sent spies after (him). They saw all the doings, wearing the false form of monkeys; in their hearts they praised the Lord's virtues — his love for those who take refuge.
