राम बालि निज धाम पठावा । नगर लोग सब व्याकुल धावा ॥
नाना बिधि बिलाप कर तारा । छूटे केस न देह सँभारा ॥
rāma bāli nija dhāma paṭhāvā | nagara loga saba vyākula dhāvā ||
nānā bidhi bilāpa kara tārā | chūṭe kesa na deha sam̐bhārā ||

What happens in this chapter
Tara's grief and Sugriva crowned
Rama sends Bali to His own abode, and the people of the city run out in distress. Tara laments in many ways, hair loose, unable to hold herself up. Seeing her, Raghurai gives her knowledge and lifts the veil of maya. This body, made of earth, water, fire, sky and air, lies before you; the soul is eternal, so for whom do you weep? Wisdom dawns in her, she clasps His feet and asks for the boon of supreme bhakti. Shiva tells Uma that Rama makes all dance like wooden puppets. Sugriva performs the funeral rites as prescribed. Rama tells Lakshmana to go and give Sugriva the kingdom; he summons citizens and brahmins, crowns Sugriva king and makes Angada yuvaraja.
तारा बिकल देखि रघुराया । दीन्ह ज्ञान हरि लीन्ही माया ॥
छिति जल पावक गगन समीरा । पञ्च-रचित अति अधम सरीरा ॥
tārā bikala dekhi raghurāyā | dīnha jñāna hari līnhī māyā ||
chiti jala pāvaka gagana samīrā | pañca-racita ati adhama sarīrā ||
प्रगट सो तनु तव आगें सोवा । जीव नित्य केहि लगि तुम्ह रोवा ॥
उपजा ज्ञान चरन तब लागी । लीन्हेसि परम भगति बर मागी ॥
pragaṭa so tanu tava āgeṃ sovā | jīva nitya kehi lagi tumha rovā ||
upajā jñāna carana taba lāgī | līnhesi parama bhagati bara māgī ||
उमा दारु-जोषित की नाई । सबहि नचावत रामु गोसाई ॥
तब सुग्रीवहिं आयसु दीन्हा । मृतक-कर्म विधिवत सब कीन्हा ॥
umā dāru-joṣita kī nāī | sabahi nacāvata rāmu gosāī ||
taba sugrīvahiṃ āyasu dīnhā | mṛtaka-karma vidhivata saba kīnhā ||
राम कहां अनुजहि समुझाई । राज देहु सुग्रीवहिं जाई ॥
रघुपति चरन नाइ करि माथा । चले सकल प्रेरित रघुनाथा ॥
rāma kahāṃ anujahi samujhāī | rāja dehu sugrīvahiṃ jāī ||
raghupati carana nāi kari māthā | cale sakala prerita raghunāthā ||
लछिमन तुरत बोलाये, पुरजन विप्र-समाज ।
राज दीन्ह सुग्रीव कहँ, अङ्गद कहँ जुबराज ॥
lachimana turata bolāye, purajana vipra-samāja |
rāja dīnha sugrīva kaham̐, aṅgada kaham̐ jubarāja ||
