जो नाघइ सत जोजन सागर । करइ सो राम-काज मति-आगर ॥
मोहि बिलोकि धरहु मन धीरा । राम-कृपाँ कस भयउ सरीरा ॥
jo nāghai sata jojana sāgara | karai so rāma-kāja mati-āgara ||
mohi biloki dharahu mana dhīrā | rāma-kṛpām̐ kasa bhayau sarīrā ||

Chapter 29: Who will cross the hundred yojanas?
5 verses · 29 of 30
What happens in this chapter
Who will cross the hundred yojanas?
Sampati ends his counsel. Whoever leaps the hundred yojanas of ocean will do Rama's work. Look at me and take heart, see what Rama's grace has done to my body. Even sinners who remember His name cross the ocean of birth; you are His messengers, so drop your fear and find a way with Rama in your heart. When the vulture leaves, Shiva tells Uma, the monkeys are full of wonder. Each states his strength, yet all doubt they can reach the far shore. Jambavan says he has grown old and has no trace of his old strength. When the Lord grew to bind Bali as Trivikrama, I was young; I ran round that vast form seven times in a moment and a half.
पापिउ जा कर नाम सुमिरहीं । अति-अपार-भवसागर तरहीँ ॥
तासु दूत तुम्ह तजि कदराई । राम हृदयँ धरि करहु उपाई ॥
pāpiu jā kara nāma sumirahīṃ | ati-apāra-bhavasāgara tarahīm̐ ||
tāsu dūta tumha taji kadarāī | rāma hṛdayam̐ dhari karahu upāī ||
अस काह, उमा गीध जब गयऊ । तिन्ह कें मन अति बिसमय भयऊ ॥
निज निज बल सब काहूँ भाखा । पार जाइ कर संसय राखा ॥
asa kāha, umā gīdha jaba gayaū | tinha keṃ mana ati bisamaya bhayaū ||
nija nija bala saba kāhūm̐ bhākhā | pāra jāi kara saṃsaya rākhā ||
जरठ भयउँ, अब कहई रिछेसा । नहिँ तनु रहा प्रथम-बल-लेसा ॥
जबहिँ त्रिविक्रम भयउ खरारी । तब में तरुन रहेउँ बल भारी ॥
jaraṭha bhayaum̐, aba kahaī richesā | nahim̐ tanu rahā prathama-bala-lesā ||
jabahim̐ trivikrama bhayau kharārī | taba meṃ taruna raheum̐ bala bhārī ||
बलि बाँधत प्रभु बाढ़ेउ, सो तनु बरनि न जाइ ।
उभय धरी महँ दीन्ही, सात प्रदच्छिन धाइ ॥
bali bām̐dhata prabhu bār̤heu, so tanu barani na jāi |
ubhaya dharī maham̐ dīnhī, sāta pradacchina dhāi ||
