मैं तुम्हार अनुचर मुनिराया । परिहरि कोप करिय अब दाया ॥
टूट चाप नहिँ जुरहि रिसाने । बैठिअ होइहिं पाय पिराने ॥
maiṃ tumhāra anucara munirāyā | parihari kopa kariya aba dāyā ||
ṭūṭa cāpa nahim̐ jurahi risāne | baiṭhia hoihiṃ pāya pirāne ||

Chapter 278: Lakshmana mocks, Janaka trembles

What happens in this chapter
Lakshmana mocks, Janaka trembles
Lakshmana goes on: I am your follower, great muni; give up anger and show mercy. A broken bow will not join through rage. If you love it so, find some skilled craftsman to mend it. Janaka is alarmed at his words and begs him to be silent, since such talk is improper. Hearing the fearless voice, Parashurama burns with anger and his strength begins to fail. He reproaches Shri Rama: only out of regard for you do I spare your little brother, fair of form yet foul of mind, like a golden pot full of poison. Lakshmana laughs again; Shri Rama frowns at him, and Lakshmana, abashed, goes to stand beside his guru.
जौँ अति प्रिय तौ करिय उपाई । जोरिअ कोउ बड़ गुनी बोलाई ॥
बोलत लखनहिं जनक डेराहीं । मष्ट करहु अनुचित भल नाहीँ ॥
jaum̐ ati priya tau kariya upāī | joria kou bar̤a gunī bolāī ||
bolata lakhanahiṃ janaka ḍerāhīṃ | maṣṭa karahu anucita bhala nāhīm̐ ||
थर थर कापहिँ पुर-नर-नारी । छोट कुमार खोट अति भारी ॥
भृगुपति सुनि सुनि निर्भय बानी । रिस तनु जरइ होइ बल हानी ॥
thara thara kāpahim̐ pura-nara-nārī | choṭa kumāra khoṭa ati bhārī ||
bhṛgupati suni suni nirbhaya bānī | risa tanu jarai hoi bala hānī ||
बोले रामहि देइ निहोरा । बचउँ बिचारि बन्धु लघु तोरा ॥
मन-मलीन तन सुन्दर कैसें । बिष-रस-भरा कनक-घट जैसे ॥
bole rāmahi dei nihorā | bacaum̐ bicāri bandhu laghu torā ||
mana-malīna tana sundara kaiseṃ | biṣa-rasa-bharā kanaka-ghaṭa jaise ||
सुनि लछिमन बिहँ से बहुरि, नयन तरेरे राम ।
गुरु-समीप गवने सकुचि, परिहरि बानी बाम ॥
suni lachimana biham̐ se bahuri, nayana tarere rāma |
guru-samīpa gavane sakuci, parihari bānī bāma ||
