What happens in this chapter
Hanuman shatters Meghanada's chariot
Shaken by fear, the monkeys begin to run, though, Shiva tells Uma, they will win in the end. Some cry out for Angada and Hanuman. Hanuman, guarding the western gate, hears that his side is in distress. There Meghanada is fighting. The son of the wind blazes with anger and roars like Time itself. He leaps onto the walls of Lanka, seizes a mountain and runs at Meghanada. He smashes the chariot, kills the charioteer and kicks Meghanada in the chest. A second charioteer, seeing him stunned, puts him in a chariot and rushes him home. Hearing that Hanuman has gone up onto the fort alone, Angada, bold son of Bali, springs up after him as easily as a monkey at play.
निज दल बिकल सुना हनुमाना । पच्छिम द्वार रहा बलवाना ॥
मेघनाद तहँ करइ लराई । टूट न द्वार परम कठिनाई ॥
nija dala bikala sunā hanumānā | pacchima dvāra rahā balavānā ||
meghanāda taham̐ karai larāī | ṭūṭa na dvāra parama kaṭhināī ||
पवन तनय मन भा अति क्रोधा । गर्जेउ प्रबल-काल-सम जोधा ॥
कूदि लंक-गढ़ ऊपर आवा । गहि गिरि मेघनाद कहुँ धावा ॥
pavana tanaya mana bhā ati krodhā | garjeu prabala-kāla-sama jodhā ||
kūdi laṃka-gar̤ha ūpara āvā | gahi giri meghanāda kahum̐ dhāvā ||
भञ्जेउ-रथ सारथी-निपाता । ताहि हृदय महँ मारेसि लाता ॥
दुसरें सूत बिकल तेहि जाना । स्यन्दन घालि तुरत गृह आना ॥
bhañjeu-ratha sārathī-nipātā | tāhi hṛdaya maham̐ māresi lātā ||
dusareṃ sūta bikala tehi jānā | syandana ghāli turata gṛha ānā ||
अङ्गद सुना पवनसुत, गढ़ पर गयउ अकेल ।
रन बाँकुरा-बालिसुत, तरकि चढ़ेउ कपि-खेल ॥
aṅgada sunā pavanasuta, gar̤ha para gayau akela |
rana bām̐kurā-bālisuta, taraki car̤heu kapi-khela ||
