Mandodari describes Rama's cosmic form
Mandodari describes the cosmic form. Patala is his feet and Brahma's abode his head; the other worlds rest on his limbs. The play of his brows is dread Time, his eyes the sun, his hair the clouds. Night and day are the blinking of his eyes, the ten directions his ears. The wind is his breath and the Veda his own speech. Yama is his teeth, Maya his laughter, the guardians of the quarters his arms, fire his mouth, Varuna his tongue; creation, sustenance and dissolution are his acts. The eighteen kinds of plants are his hair, mountains his bones, rivers his veins. Shiva is his ego, Brahma his intellect, the moon his mind. Give up enmity and love Raghubir's feet, so my married fortune may not end.
जासु घ्रान अस्विनीकुमारा । निसि अरु दिवस निमेष अपारा ॥
सवन दिसा दस बेद बखानी । मारुत स्वास निगम निज बानी ॥
jāsu ghrāna asvinīkumārā | nisi aru divasa nimeṣa apārā ||
savana disā dasa beda bakhānī | māruta svāsa nigama nija bānī ||
अधर-लोभ जम-दसन-कराला । माया हास बाहु-दिगपाला ॥
आनन-अनल अम्बुपति-जीहा । उतपति पालन प्रलय समीहा ॥
adhara-lobha jama-dasana-karālā | māyā hāsa bāhu-digapālā ||
ānana-anala ambupati-jīhā | utapati pālana pralaya samīhā ||
रोम-राजि अष्टादस-बारा । अलिप-सैल सरिता नस-जारा ॥
उदर-उदधि अध-गो जातना । जग-मय प्रभु का बहु कलपना ॥
roma-rāji aṣṭādasa-bārā | alipa-saila saritā nasa-jārā ||
udara-udadhi adha-go jātanā | jaga-maya prabhu kā bahu kalapanā ||
अहङ्कार-सिव बुद्धि-अज, मन-ससि चित्त-महान ।
अनुज बास सचराचर-रूप राम भगवान ॥
ahaṅkāra-siva buddhi-aja, mana-sasi citta-mahāna |
anuja bāsa sacarācara-rūpa rāma bhagavāna ||
अस बिचारि सुनु प्रानपति प्रभु सन बयर बिहाइ ।
प्रीति करहु रघुबीर-पद, सम अहिवात न जाइ ॥
asa bicāri sunu prānapati prabhu sana bayara bihāi |
prīti karahu raghubīra-pada, sama ahivāta na jāi ||
