कोमल चित अति दीनदयाला । कारन बिनु रघुनाथ कृपाला ॥
गीध अधम खग आमिष भोगी । गति दीन्ही जो जाचत जोगी ॥
komala cita ati dīnadayālā | kārana binu raghunātha kṛpālā ||
gīdha adhama khaga āmiṣa bhogī | gati dīnhī jo jācata jogī ||

What happens in this chapter
Kabandha freed from Durvasa's curse
Raghunath is tender-hearted and kind without cause, says Shiva: to a vulture, a low flesh-eating bird, he gave the state yogis beg for. Unfortunate, Uma, are those who leave Hari for sense pleasures. The brothers walk on searching for Sita through dense forest full of creepers, birds, deer, elephants and lions. On the path Rama strikes down Kabandha, who tells the story of his curse: Durvasa cursed me, and seeing the Lord's feet has wiped out that sin. Rama answers the gandharva: those who wrong the Brahmin race do not please me. Whoever serves the Brahmins without deceit in thought, word and deed holds me, Brahma, Shiva and all the devas in his power.
सुनहु उमा ते लोग अभागी । हरि तजि होहिँ बिषय अनुरागी ॥
पुनि सीतहि खोजत दोउ भाई । चले बिलोकत बन बहुताई ॥
sunahu umā te loga abhāgī | hari taji hohim̐ biṣaya anurāgī ||
puni sītahi khojata dou bhāī | cale bilokata bana bahutāī ||
सङ्कुल लता बिटप घन कानन । बहु खग मृग तहँ गज पञ्चानन ॥
आवत पन्थ कबंध निपाता । तेहिं सब कही साप के बाता ॥
saṅkula latā biṭapa ghana kānana | bahu khaga mṛga taham̐ gaja pañcānana ||
āvata pantha kabaṃdha nipātā | tehiṃ saba kahī sāpa ke bātā ||
दुरबासा मोहि दीन्ही सापा । प्रभु-पद-पेखि मिटा से पापा ॥
सुनु गन्धर्व कहउँ मैं तोही । मोहि न सुहाइ ब्रह्म-कुल-द्रोही ॥
durabāsā mohi dīnhī sāpā | prabhu-pada-pekhi miṭā se pāpā ||
sunu gandharva kahaum̐ maiṃ tohī | mohi na suhāi brahma-kula-drohī ||
मन क्रम बचन कपट तजि, जो कर भूसुर सेव ।
मोहि समेत बिरञ्चि सिव, बस ताकें सब देव ॥
mana krama bacana kapaṭa taji, jo kara bhūsura seva |
mohi sameta birañci siva, basa tākeṃ saba deva ||
