अति बिनीत मृदु सीतल बानी । बोले राम जोरि जुग पानी ॥
सुनहु नाथ तुम्ह सहज सुजाना । बालक बचन करिय नहिँ काना ॥
ati binīta mṛdu sītala bānī | bole rāma jori juga pānī ||
sunahu nātha tumha sahaja sujānā | bālaka bacana kariya nahim̐ kānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Shri Rama takes the blame on himself
With joined palms and a voice humble, soft and cool, Shri Rama speaks. Lord, you are wise by nature; do not heed a boy's words. Children and wasps are alike, and the learned never trouble them. I alone have offended you. Grace or anger, death or bondage, deal with me as with your servant, and tell me quickly what will end your wrath. Parashurama answers: Rama, how can my anger go when your brother still looks at me so insolently? If I have not put my axe to his throat, then what has all my wrath achieved? The queens of the earth miscarry on hearing of my axe, and yet I see this enemy prince alive while the axe is in my hand.
बररै बालक एक सुभाऊ । इन्हहिँ न बिदुष बिदूषहिँ काऊ ॥
तेहिं नाहीं कछु काज बिगारा । अपराधी मैं नाथ तुम्हारा ॥
bararai bālaka eka subhāū | inhahim̐ na biduṣa bidūṣahim̐ kāū ||
tehiṃ nāhīṃ kachu kāja bigārā | aparādhī maiṃ nātha tumhārā ||
कृपा कोप बध बन्ध गोसाँई । मो पर करिय दास की नाँई ॥
कहिय बेगि जेहि बिधि रिस जाई । मुनि-नायक सोइ करउँ उपाई ॥
kṛpā kopa badha bandha gosām̐ī | mo para kariya dāsa kī nām̐ī ||
kahiya begi jehi bidhi risa jāī | muni-nāyaka soi karaum̐ upāī ||
कह मुनि राम जाइ रिस कैसें । अजहुँ अनुज तव चितव अनैसें ॥
एहि के कंठ कुठार न दीन्हा । तो मैं काह कोप करि कीन्हा ॥
kaha muni rāma jāi risa kaiseṃ | ajahum̐ anuja tava citava anaiseṃ ||
ehi ke kaṃṭha kuṭhāra na dīnhā | to maiṃ kāha kopa kari kīnhā ||
गर्भ स्त्रवहिं अवनिप-रवनि, सुनि कुठार-गति-घोर ।
परसु अछत देखउँ जियत, बैरी भूप किसोर ॥
garbha stravahiṃ avanipa-ravani, suni kuṭhāra-gati-ghora |
parasu achata dekhaum̐ jiyata, bairī bhūpa kisora ||
