काटत बढ़हिँ सीस समुदाई । जिमि प्रति लाभ लोभ अधिकाई ॥
मरइ न रिपु श्रम भयउ बिसेखा । राम बिभीषन तन तब देखा ॥
kāṭata bar̤hahim̐ sīsa samudāī | jimi prati lābha lobha adhikāī ||
marai na ripu śrama bhayau bisekhā | rāma bibhīṣana tana taba dekhā ||

What happens in this chapter
Vibhishana reveals the nectar in Ravana's navel
Each time the heads are cut they multiply, as greed grows with every gain. Seeing that the enemy will not die, Rama looks at Vibhishana. Shiva tells Uma that the Lord at whose wish Death itself dies was testing his devotee's love. Vibhishana says: Lord, there is nectar in the pool of his navel; by its power Ravana lives. The merciful Lord gladly takes up his terrible arrows. Evil omens break out: jackals and dogs howl, comets appear, the sun is eclipsed out of season, Mandodari's heart trembles, idols weep and clouds rain blood. Knowing the devas' hour has come, Rama draws the bow to his ear and looses thirty-one arrows, like serpents of Death.
उमा काल मरु जा की ईछा । सो प्रभु जन कर प्रीति परीछा ॥
सुनु सर्बज्ञ चराचर नायक । प्रनतपाल सुर मुनि सुखदायक ॥
umā kāla maru jā kī īchā | so prabhu jana kara prīti parīchā ||
sunu sarbajña carācara nāyaka | pranatapāla sura muni sukhadāyaka ||
नाभिकुंड पियूष बस याकें । नाथ जियत रावन बल ताकें ॥
सुनत बिभीषन बचन कृपाला । हरषि गहे कर बान कराला ॥
nābhikuṃḍa piyūṣa basa yākeṃ | nātha jiyata rāvana bala tākeṃ ||
sunata bibhīṣana bacana kṛpālā | haraṣi gahe kara bāna karālā ||
असुभ होन लागे तब नाना । रोवहिं खर सृकाल बहु खर-स्वाना ॥
बोलहिं खग जग आरति हेतू । प्रगट भये नभ जहँ तहँ केतू ॥
asubha hona lāge taba nānā | rovahiṃ khara sṛkāla bahu khara-svānā ||
bolahiṃ khaga jaga ārati hetū | pragaṭa bhaye nabha jaham̐ taham̐ ketū ||
दस-दिसि दाह होन अति लागा । भयउ परब बिनु रबि उपरागा ॥
मन्दोदरि उर कम्पति भारी । प्रतिमा सबहिं नयन-मग बारी ॥
dasa-disi dāha hona ati lāgā | bhayau paraba binu rabi uparāgā ||
mandodari ura kampati bhārī | pratimā sabahiṃ nayana-maga bārī ||
प्रतिमा रुदहिं पविपात नभ अति, बात वह डोलति मही ।
बरषहिँ बलाहक रुधिर कच रज, असुभ अति सक को कही ॥
उतपात अमित बिलोकि नभ सुर, बिकल बोलहिं जय जये ।
सुर सभय जानि कृपाल रघुपति, चाप सर जोरत भये ॥
pratimā rudahiṃ pavipāta nabha ati, bāta vaha ḍolati mahī |
baraṣahim̐ balāhaka rudhira kaca raja, asubha ati saka ko kahī ||
utapāta amita biloki nabha sura, bikala bolahiṃ jaya jaye |
sura sabhaya jāni kṛpāla raghupati, cāpa sara jorata bhaye ||
खैचि सरासन श्रवन लगि, छाड़े सर एकतीस ।
रघुनायक-सायक चले, मानहुँ काल फनीस ॥
khaici sarāsana śravana lagi, chār̤e sara ekatīsa |
raghunāyaka-sāyaka cale, mānahum̐ kāla phanīsa ||
