Chaupāī

लंका निसिचर निकर निवासा। इहाँ कहाँ सज्जन कर बासा॥ मन महुँ तरक करै कपि लागा। तेहीं समय बिभीषनु जागा॥ राम राम तेहिं सुमिरन कीन्हा। हृदयँ हरष कपि सज्जन चीन्हा॥ एहि सन हठि करिहउँ पहिचानी। साधु ते होइ न कारज हानी॥ बिप्र रुप धरि बचन सुनाए। सुनत बिभीषण उठि तहँ आए॥ करि प्रनाम पूँछी कुसलाई। बिप्र कहहु निज कथा बुझाई॥ की तुम्ह हरि दासन्ह महँ कोई। मोरें हृदय प्रीति अति होई॥ की तुम्ह रामु दीन अनुरागी। आयहु मोहि करन बड़भागी॥

तब हनुमंत कही सब राम कथा निज नाम। सुनत जुगल तन पुलक मन मगन सुमिरि गुन ग्राम॥6॥

taba hanumaṃta kahī saba rāma kathā nija nāma sunata jugala tana pulaka mana magana sumiri guna grāma 6

Meaning"Lanka is the dwelling of hordes of demons — how could a holy man have his abode here?" As the monkey reasoned thus, at that very moment Vibhishana awoke and uttered "Rama, Rama." The monkey rejoiced, recognizing a saint: "I will make his acquaintance, for from a sadhu no purpose suffers loss." Taking a brahmin's form he spoke (Rama's name); hearing it, Vibhishana rose and came, and bowing asked after his welfare: "Brahmin, tell me plainly your own tale. Are you one of Hari's servants? — for great love arises in my heart. Or are you Rama himself, lover of the humble, come to make me blessed?" Then Hanuman told all of Rama's story and his own name; hearing it, the bodies of both thrilled with rapture, their minds absorbed, remembering the host of (the Lord's) virtues.
