सकल मरम रघुनायक जाना । लिये बोलि अङ्गद हनुमाना ॥
समाचार सब कहि समुझाए । सुनत कोपि-कपि-कुञ्जर धाये ॥
sakala marama raghunāyaka jānā | liye boli aṅgada hanumānā ||
samācāra saba kahi samujhāe | sunata kopi-kapi-kuñjara dhāye ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama's fire arrow ends the darkness
Raghunayak understands the whole secret. He calls Angada and Hanuman and explains what has happened; hearing it, the two great monkeys rush out in anger. Then the merciful Lord smiles, strings his bow and swiftly looses a fire arrow. Light spreads and no darkness remains anywhere, as doubts vanish when knowledge dawns. Finding light, the bears and monkeys run forward joyfully, their weariness and fear gone. At the roar of Hanuman and Angada the rakshasas flee, and the bears and monkeys dash them to the ground. They grab some by the feet and throw them into the sea, where crocodiles, serpents and fish catch and eat them. Some are killed, some wounded, some run up into the fort, and the bears and monkeys roar, having broken the enemy's strength.
पुनि कृपाल हँसि चाप चढ़ावा । पावक-सायक सपदि चलावा ॥
भयउ प्रकास कतहुँ तम नाहीं । ज्ञान उदयँ जिमि संसय जाहीँ ॥
puni kṛpāla ham̐si cāpa car̤hāvā | pāvaka-sāyaka sapadi calāvā ||
bhayau prakāsa katahum̐ tama nāhīṃ | jñāna udayam̐ jimi saṃsaya jāhīm̐ ||
भालु-बलीमुख पाइ प्रकासा । धाये हरषि बिगत-श्रम-त्रासा ॥
हनुमान अङ्गद रन गाजे । हाँक सुनत रजनीचर भाजे ॥
bhālu-balīmukha pāi prakāsā | dhāye haraṣi bigata-śrama-trāsā ||
hanumāna aṅgada rana gāje | hām̐ka sunata rajanīcara bhāje ||
भागत भट पटकहिँ धरि धरनी । करहिँ भालु-कपि अद्भुत-करनी ॥
गहि पद डारहिँ सागर माहीँ । मकर-उरग-झष धरि धरि खाहीं ॥
bhāgata bhaṭa paṭakahim̐ dhari dharanī | karahim̐ bhālu-kapi adbhuta-karanī ||
gahi pada ḍārahim̐ sāgara māhīm̐ | makara-uraga-jhaṣa dhari dhari khāhīṃ ||
कछु मारे कछु घायल, कछु गढ़ चढ़े पराइ ।
गर्जहिँ भालु बलीमुख, रिपु-दल-बल बिचलाइ ॥
kachu māre kachu ghāyala, kachu gar̤ha car̤he parāi |
garjahim̐ bhālu balīmukha, ripu-dala-bala bicalāi ||
