तब सिय देखि भूप अभिलाखे । कूर कपूत मूढ़ मन माखे ॥
उठि उठि पहिरि सनाह अभागे । जहँ तहँ गाल बजावन लागे ॥
taba siya dekhi bhūpa abhilākhe | kūra kapūta mūr̤ha mana mākhe ||
uṭhi uṭhi pahiri sanāha abhāge | jaham̐ taham̐ gāla bajāvana lāge ||

Chapter 266: Jealous kings rise in arms

What happens in this chapter
Jealous kings rise in arms
Seeing Sita, some kings burn with desire, and the cruel fools grow angry. The wretches put on armour and start boasting: snatch Sita away, seize and bind the two princes! Breaking the bow settles nothing; who can wed her while we live? If Videha helps them, we will defeat him with both brothers. The good kings answer, and shame itself is ashamed of such an assembly. Your strength, glory and valour went with the bow, they say; where have you found courage now? With such sense, fate has blackened your faces. Give up envy, pride and anger and gaze at Shri Rama. Do not be moths in the fire of Lakshmana's wrath.
लेहु छड़ाइ सीय कह कोऊ । धरि बाँधहु नृप-बालक दोऊ ॥
तोरें धनुष चाड़ नहिँ सरई । जीवत हमहि कुँअरि को बरई ॥
lehu char̤āi sīya kaha koū | dhari bām̐dhahu nṛpa-bālaka doū ||
toreṃ dhanuṣa cār̤a nahim̐ saraī | jīvata hamahi kum̐ari ko baraī ||
जौँ बिदेह कछु करइ सहाई । जीतह समर सहित दोउ भाई ॥
साधु-भूप बोले सुनि बानी । राज-समाजहि लाज लजानी ॥
jaum̐ bideha kachu karai sahāī | jītaha samara sahita dou bhāī ||
sādhu-bhūpa bole suni bānī | rāja-samājahi lāja lajānī ||
बल प्रताप बीरता बड़ाई । नाक पिनाकहि सङ्ग सिधाई ॥
सोइ सूरता कि अब कहुँ पाई । असि बुधि तो विधि मुँह मसि लाई ॥
bala pratāpa bīratā bar̤āī | nāka pinākahi saṅga sidhāī ||
soi sūratā ki aba kahum̐ pāī | asi budhi to vidhi mum̐ha masi lāī ||
देखहु रामहिँ नयन भरि, तजि इरिषा मद कोहु ।
लखन-रोष पावक प्रबल, जानि सलभ जनि होहु ॥
dekhahu rāmahim̐ nayana bhari, taji iriṣā mada kohu |
lakhana-roṣa pāvaka prabala, jāni salabha jani hohu ||
