वैनतेय बलि जिमि चह कागू । जिमि सस चहइ नाग-अरि भागू ॥
जिमि वह कुसल अकारन कोही । सब सम्पदा चहइ सिव-द्रोही ॥
vainateya bali jimi caha kāgū | jimi sasa cahai nāga-ari bhāgū ||
jimi vaha kusala akārana kohī | saba sampadā cahai siva-drohī ||

What happens in this chapter
Lakshmana glares and the uproar alarms Sita
The good kings go on: your greed is like a crow wanting Garuda's share, a hare wanting the lion's portion, a man angry without cause wanting peace, an enemy of Shiva wanting fortune, a lustful man wanting a spotless name, or one who turns from Hari's feet wanting a good end. Hearing the uproar, Sita is afraid, and her friends take her to the queen. Shri Rama walks calmly to the guru, praising Sita's love in his heart. With the queens, Sita wonders anxiously what fate will do now. Lakshmana, held back by awe of Shri Rama, cannot speak, but glares at the kings with red eyes, like a lion cub eager before a herd of maddened elephants.
लोभी लोलुप कल कीरति चहई । अकलङ्कता कि कामी लहई ॥
हरि-पद-विमुख सुगति जिमि चाहा । तस तुम्हार लालचु नरनाहा ॥
lobhī lolupa kala kīrati cahaī | akalaṅkatā ki kāmī lahaī ||
hari-pada-vimukha sugati jimi cāhā | tasa tumhāra lālacu naranāhā ||
कोलाहल सुनि सीय सकानी । सखीं लवाइ गईं जहँ रानी ॥
राम सुभायँ चले गुरु पाहीं । सिय-सनेह बरनत मन माहीं ॥
kolāhala suni sīya sakānī | sakhīṃ lavāi gaīṃ jaham̐ rānī ||
rāma subhāyam̐ cale guru pāhīṃ | siya-saneha baranata mana māhīṃ ||
रानिन्ह सहित सोचबस सीया । अब धौँ बिधिहि काह करनीया ॥
भूप बचन सुनि इत उत तकहीं । लखन राम-डर बोलि न सकहीं ॥
rāninha sahita socabasa sīyā | aba dhaum̐ bidhihi kāha karanīyā ||
bhūpa bacana suni ita uta takahīṃ | lakhana rāma-ḍara boli na sakahīṃ ||
अरुन-नयन भृकुटी-कुटिल, चितवत नृपन्ह सकोप ।
मनहुँ मत्त-गज-गन निरखि, सिंघकिसोरहि चोप ॥
aruna-nayana bhṛkuṭī-kuṭila, citavata nṛpanha sakopa |
manahum̐ matta-gaja-gana nirakhi, siṃghakisorahi copa ||
