नाथ करहु बालक पर छोहू । सूध दूध-मुख करिय न कोहू ॥
जौँ पै प्रभु प्रभाउ कछु जाना । ता कि बराबरि करइ अयाना ॥
nātha karahu bālaka para chohū | sūdha dūdha-mukha kariya na kohū ||
jaum̐ pai prabhu prabhāu kachu jānā | tā ki barābari karai ayānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Shri Rama pleads for his brother
Shri Rama pleads: Lord, be kind to the boy; he is a simple milk-tooth child. Had he known your power, would he set himself against you? When a child is naughty, guru, father and mother are glad at heart; take him as your little servant, you who are calm and wise. The sage cools a little. Then Lakshmana says something more and smiles, and Parashurama's anger spreads from head to toe. Rama, he says, your brother is a great sinner, fair outside and dark within, poison-mouthed not milk-mouthed, crooked and unlike you; the wretch does not see death before him. Lakshmana laughs: muni, anger is the root of sin, and under its sway people do wrong and turn the world against them.
जौँ लरिका कछु अचगरि करहीँ । गुरु पितु मातु मोद मन भरहीं ॥
करिय कृपा सिसु सेवक जानी । तुम्ह सम सील धीर मुनि ज्ञानी ॥
jaum̐ larikā kachu acagari karahīm̐ | guru pitu mātu moda mana bharahīṃ ||
kariya kṛpā sisu sevaka jānī | tumha sama sīla dhīra muni jñānī ||
राम बचन सुनि कछुक जुड़ाने । कहि कछु लखन बहुरि मुसुकाने ॥
हँसत देखि नख-सिख रिस ब्यापी । राम तोर भ्राता बड़ पापी ॥
rāma bacana suni kachuka jur̤āne | kahi kachu lakhana bahuri musukāne ||
ham̐sata dekhi nakha-sikha risa byāpī | rāma tora bhrātā bar̤a pāpī ||
गौर शरीर स्याम मन माहीं । कालकूट-मुख पय-मुख नाहीं ॥
सहज टेढ़ अनुहरइ न तोही । नीच मीच सम देख न माही ॥
gaura śarīra syāma mana māhīṃ | kālakūṭa-mukha paya-mukha nāhīṃ ||
sahaja ṭer̤ha anuharai na tohī | nīca mīca sama dekha na māhī ||
लखन कहेउ हँसि सुनहु मुनि, क्रोध पाप कर मूल ।
जेहि बस जन अनुचित करहिँ, होहिँ बिस्व प्रतिकूल ॥
lakhana kaheu ham̐si sunahu muni, krodha pāpa kara mūla |
jehi basa jana anucita karahim̐, hohim̐ bisva pratikūla ||
