Shri Rama continues. Seeing you carry axe, bow and arrows, the boy took you for a warrior and grew angry; he knew your name but not you, and answered as his lineage taught him. Had you come as a muni, he would have put the dust of your feet on his head. How can we be your equals? Where are the feet and where the head? My name is the small word Rama, yours is great, joined with the axe. Our bow has one guna, its string; you have the nine holy virtues. In every way we are beaten by you; forgive our offences. Hearing himself called muni and vipra again and again, Parashurama laughs in anger: you are as perverse as your brother.
देखि कुठार बान-धनु-धारी । भइ लरिकहि रिस बीर बिचारी ॥
नाम जान पै तुम्हहिँ न चीन्हा । बंस सुभाउ उतर तेंहिं दीन्हा ॥
dekhi kuṭhāra bāna-dhanu-dhārī | bhai larikahi risa bīra bicārī ||
nāma jāna pai tumhahim̐ na cīnhā | baṃsa subhāu utara teṃhiṃ dīnhā ||
जौँ तुम्ह औतेहु मुनि की नाँई । पद-रज सिर सिसु धरत गोसाँई ॥
छमहु चूक अनजानत केरी । चहिय विप्र उर कृपा घनेरी ॥
jaum̐ tumha autehu muni kī nām̐ī | pada-raja sira sisu dharata gosām̐ī ||
chamahu cūka anajānata kerī | cahiya vipra ura kṛpā ghanerī ||
हमहि तुम्हहिँ सरिबरि कस नाथा । कहहु न कहाँ चरन कहँ माथा ॥
राम मात्र लघु नाम हमारा । परसु सहित बड़ नाम तुम्हारा ॥
hamahi tumhahim̐ saribari kasa nāthā | kahahu na kahām̐ carana kaham̐ māthā ||
rāma mātra laghu nāma hamārā | parasu sahita bar̤a nāma tumhārā ||
देव एक गुन धनुष हमारें । नव गुन परम-पुनीत तुम्हारें ॥
सब प्रकार हम तुम्ह सन हारे । छमहु बिप्र अपराध हमारे ॥
deva eka guna dhanuṣa hamāreṃ | nava guna parama-punīta tumhāreṃ ||
saba prakāra hama tumha sana hāre | chamahu bipra aparādha hamāre ||
बार बार मुनि बिप्र घर, कहा राम सन राम ।
बोले भृगुपति सरुष हसि, तहूँ बन्धु सम बाम ॥
bāra bāra muni bipra ghara, kahā rāma sana rāma |
bole bhṛgupati saruṣa hasi, tahūm̐ bandhu sama bāma ||
