No earthquake, no wind, no weapon seen, yet the crowns fell. Everyone thinks in his heart that a dreadful omen has come. Seeing his court afraid, Ravana laughs and twists it: when heads falling has always been lucky for me, how can falling crowns be a bad sign? Go home and sleep. They bow and leave. But since the earrings fell to the ground, grief has lodged in Mandodari's heart. With tears in her eyes and joined palms she says: hear my plea, lord of my life. Give up enmity with Rama. He is no mere man. Believe my words, the jewel of the Raghu line is the form of the universe, and the Veda pictures the worlds in each of his limbs.
कम्प न भूमि न मरुत बिसेषा । अस्त्र सस्त्र कछु नयन न देखा ॥
सोचहिँ सब निज हृदय मझारी । असगुन भयउ भयङ्कर भारी ॥
kampa na bhūmi na maruta biseṣā | astra sastra kachu nayana na dekhā ||
socahim̐ saba nija hṛdaya majhārī | asaguna bhayau bhayaṅkara bhārī ||
दसमुख देखि सभा भय पाई । बिहसि बचन कह जुगुति बनाई ॥
सिरउ गिरे सन्तत सुभ जाही । मुकुट खसे कस असगुन ताही ॥
dasamukha dekhi sabhā bhaya pāī | bihasi bacana kaha juguti banāī ||
sirau gire santata subha jāhī | mukuṭa khase kasa asaguna tāhī ||
सयन करहु निज निज गृह जाई । गवने भवन चरन सिर नाई ॥
मन्दोदरी सोच उर बसेऊ । जब ते श्रवनपूर महि खसेऊ ॥
sayana karahu nija nija gṛha jāī | gavane bhavana carana sira nāī ||
mandodarī soca ura baseū | jaba te śravanapūra mahi khaseū ||
सजल-नयन कह जुग कर जोरी । सुनहु प्रानपति बिनती मोरी ॥
कन्त राम-बिरोध परिहरहू । जानि मनुज जनि हठ मन हठ धरहू ॥
sajala-nayana kaha juga kara jorī | sunahu prānapati binatī morī ||
kanta rāma-birodha pariharahū | jāni manuja jani haṭha mana haṭha dharahū ||
बिस्व-रूप रघु-बंस-मनि, करहु बचन विस्वासु ।
लोक कल्पना बेद कर, अङ्ग अङ्ग प्रति जासु ॥
bisva-rūpa raghu-baṃsa-mani, karahu bacana visvāsu |
loka kalpanā beda kara, aṅga aṅga prati jāsu ||
