कपि तव दरस भइउँ निष्पापा । मिटा तात मुनि बर कर सापा ॥
मुनि न होइ यह निसिचर घोरा । मानहुँ सत्य बचन कपि मोरा ॥
kapi tava darasa bhaium̐ niṣpāpā | miṭā tāta muni bara kara sāpā ||
muni na hoi yaha nisicara ghorā | mānahum̐ satya bacana kapi morā ||

What happens in this chapter
Kalanemi slain, Bharata's arrow fells Hanuman
The freed one says: by your darshan, monkey, I am free of sin; a great muni's curse is ended. That is no muni but a dreadful rakshasa; believe my words. When the apsara has gone, Hanuman goes to the rakshasa: first take your guru-dakshina, muni, then give me the mantra. He wraps his tail round Kalanemi's head and dashes him down. Dying, the rakshasa shows his true form, and he leaves his life crying Rama, Rama. Glad at heart, Hanuman goes on. Unable to recognise the herb, he tears up the whole mountain and races through the night sky with it, passing over Ayodhya. Bharata sees a huge shape and, taking it for a rakshasa, draws his bow to his ear and shoots a headless arrow.
अस कहि गई अपछरा जबहीं । निसिचर निकट गयउ कपि तबहीं ॥
कह कपि मुनि गुरदछिना लेहू । पाछें हमहिँ मन्त्र तुम्ह देहू ॥
asa kahi gaī apacharā jabahīṃ | nisicara nikaṭa gayau kapi tabahīṃ ||
kaha kapi muni guradachinā lehū | pācheṃ hamahim̐ mantra tumha dehū ||
सिर लंगूर लपेटि पछारा । निज तनु प्रगटेसि मरती बारा ॥
राम राम कहि छाड़ेसि प्राना । सुनि मन हरषि चलेउ हनुमाना ॥
sira laṃgūra lapeṭi pachārā | nija tanu pragaṭesi maratī bārā ||
rāma rāma kahi chār̤esi prānā | suni mana haraṣi caleu hanumānā ||
देखा सैल न औषध चीन्हा । सहसा कपि उपारि गिरि लीन्हा ॥
गहि गिरि निसि नभ धावत भयऊ । अवधपुरी ऊपर कपि गयऊ ॥
dekhā saila na auṣadha cīnhā | sahasā kapi upāri giri līnhā ||
gahi giri nisi nabha dhāvata bhayaū | avadhapurī ūpara kapi gayaū ||
देखा भरत बिसाल अति, निसिचर मन अनुमानि ।
बिनु फर सायक मारेउ, चाप श्रवन लगि तानि ॥
dekhā bharata bisāla ati, nisicara mana anumāni |
binu phara sāyaka māreu, cāpa śravana lagi tāni ||
