सुख सम्पति सुत सेन सहाई । जय प्रताप बल बुद्धि बड़ाई ॥
नित नूतन सब बाढ़त जाई । जिमि प्रति लाभ लोभ अधिकाई ॥
sukha sampati suta sena sahāī | jaya pratāpa bala buddhi bar̤āī ||
nita nūtana saba bār̤hata jāī | jimi prati lābha lobha adhikāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Ravana's might and his warriors
Ravana's happiness, wealth, sons, army and allies, his victories, valour, strength, intellect and renown grew fresh each day, as greed grows with every gain. His brother Kumbhakarna was immensely strong, with no match among warriors born in the world. He would drink and sleep six months, and when he woke the three worlds trembled; if he ate every day, the whole world would soon be laid bare. Ravana's eldest son Meghanada stood first among the warriors of the world; the devas fled before him daily. Durmukha, Akampana, Vajradanta, Dhumaketu, Atikaya and others: such was his host of warriors, each able to conquer the world alone.
अति बल कुम्भकरन अस भ्राता । जेहि कहँ नहिँ प्रतिभट जग जाता ॥
करइ पान सोवइ षट मासा । जागत होइ तिहुँ-पुर त्रासा ॥
ati bala kumbhakarana asa bhrātā | jehi kaham̐ nahim̐ pratibhaṭa jaga jātā ||
karai pāna sovai ṣaṭa māsā | jāgata hoi tihum̐-pura trāsā ||
जौँ दिन-प्रति अहार कर सोई । बिस्व बेगि सब चौपट होई ॥
समर धीर नहिँ जाइ बखाना । तेहि सम अमित बीर बलवाना ॥
jaum̐ dina-prati ahāra kara soī | bisva begi saba caupaṭa hoī ||
samara dhīra nahim̐ jāi bakhānā | tehi sama amita bīra balavānā ||
बारिदनाद जेठ सुत तासू । भट महँ प्रथम लीक जग जासू ॥
जेहि न होइ रन-सनमुख कोई । सुर-पुर नितहिं परावन होई ॥
bāridanāda jeṭha suta tāsū | bhaṭa maham̐ prathama līka jaga jāsū ||
jehi na hoi rana-sanamukha koī | sura-pura nitahiṃ parāvana hoī ||
कुमुख अकम्पन कुलिसरद, धूमकेतु अतिकाय ।
एक एक जग जीति सक, ऐसे सुभट निकाय ॥
kumukha akampana kulisarada, dhūmaketu atikāya |
eka eka jaga jīti saka, aise subhaṭa nikāya ||
