नाइ चरन सिर कह कर जोरी । नाथ मोहि कछु नाहि न खोरी ॥
अतिसय प्रबल देव तव माया । छूटइ राम करहु जौँ दाया ॥
nāi carana sira kaha kara jorī | nātha mohi kachu nāhi na khorī ||
atisaya prabala deva tava māyā | chūṭai rāma karahu jaum̐ dāyā ||

Sugriva's confession; dear as Bharata
Bowing at Rama's feet with joined palms, Sugriva says: Lord, I am not at fault; Your maya is mighty, and only Your mercy frees one from it. Devas, men and sages are slaves to the senses, and I am a lowly, lustful beast of a monkey. One untouched by the arrow of a woman's glance, awake in the dark night of anger, whose neck is not bound by the noose of greed, is equal to You, Raghurai. Such virtue comes not by effort but by Your grace, to a rare few. Raghupati smiles and says, you are as dear to Me as My brother Bharata. Now set your mind to finding news of Sita. As they talk, the monkey troops arrive, crowds of every colour pouring in from all directions.
विषय-बस्य-सुर-नर मुनि स्वामी । मैं पावँर पसु कपि अति कामी ॥
नारि नयन सर जाहि न लागा । घोर क्रोध तम-निसि जो जागा ॥
viṣaya-basya-sura-nara muni svāmī | maiṃ pāvam̐ra pasu kapi ati kāmī ||
nāri nayana sara jāhi na lāgā | ghora krodha tama-nisi jo jāgā ||
लोभ पास जेहिं गर न बंधाया । सो नर तुम्ह समान रघुराया ॥
यह गुन साधन तें नहिँ होई । तुम्हरी कृपाँ पाव कोइ कोई ॥
lobha pāsa jehiṃ gara na baṃdhāyā | so nara tumha samāna raghurāyā ||
yaha guna sādhana teṃ nahim̐ hoī | tumharī kṛpām̐ pāva koi koī ||
तब रघुपति बोले मुसकाई । तुम्ह प्रिय मोहि भरत जिमि भाई ॥
अब सोइ जतन करहु मन लाई । जेहि बिधि सीता के सुधि पाई ॥
taba raghupati bole musakāī | tumha priya mohi bharata jimi bhāī ||
aba soi jatana karahu mana lāī | jehi bidhi sītā ke sudhi pāī ||
एहि बिधि होत बतकही, आये बानर जूथ ।
नाना बरन सकल दिसि, देखिय कीस वरूथ ॥
ehi bidhi hota batakahī, āye bānara jūtha |
nānā barana sakala disi, dekhiya kīsa varūtha ||
