What happens in this chapter
Angada and Hanuman storm Ravana's palace
The two monkeys, fierce in war, remember Rama's might in their hearts, run up onto Ravana's palace and raise the cry of the lord of Kosala. They seize a mansion with its golden pinnacle and bring it down. Ravana is struck with fear. The women beat their breasts: now two mischief-makers have come. The monkeys frighten them with monkey play. Then gripping golden pillars, they say: let the havoc begin. Roaring, they fall into the midst of the enemy and crush them with the strength of their arms, a kick for one, a slap for another: this is the fruit of not worshipping Rama. They crush rakshasas against one another, tear off heads and hurl them, and the heads fall before Ravana and burst like pots of curd.
कलस सहित गहि भवन ढहावा । देखि निसाचर-पति मय पावा ॥
नारि-वृन्द कर पीटहिँ छाती । अब दुइ कपि आये उतपाती ॥
kalasa sahita gahi bhavana ḍhahāvā | dekhi nisācara-pati maya pāvā ||
nāri-vṛnda kara pīṭahim̐ chātī | aba dui kapi āye utapātī ||
कपि-लीला करि तिन्हहिँ डेरावहिं । रामचन्द्र कर सुजस सुनावहिँ ॥
पुनि कर गहि कञ्चन के खंभा । कहेन्हि करिय उतपात अरम्भा ॥
kapi-līlā kari tinhahim̐ ḍerāvahiṃ | rāmacandra kara sujasa sunāvahim̐ ||
puni kara gahi kañcana ke khaṃbhā | kahenhi kariya utapāta arambhā ||
गर्जि परे रिपु-कटक मझारी । लागे मर्दै भुज बल भारी ॥
काहुहि लात चपेटन्हि केहू । भजहु न रामहि सो फल लेहू ॥
garji pare ripu-kaṭaka majhārī | lāge mardai bhuja bala bhārī ||
kāhuhi lāta capeṭanhi kehū | bhajahu na rāmahi so phala lehū ||
एक एक सोँ मर्दहिं, तोरि चलावहिँ मुंड ।
रावन आगें परहिँ ते, जनु फूटहिं दधि-कुंड ॥
eka eka som̐ mardahiṃ, tori calāvahim̐ muṃḍa |
rāvana āgeṃ parahim̐ te, janu phūṭahiṃ dadhi-kuṃḍa ||
