भल न कीन्ह तैं निसिचर-नाहा । अब मोहि आइ जगाएहि काहा ॥
अजहूँ तात त्यागि अभिमाना । भजहु राम होइहि कल्याना ॥
bhala na kīnha taiṃ nisicara-nāhā | aba mohi āi jagāehi kāhā ||
ajahūm̐ tāta tyāgi abhimānā | bhajahu rāma hoihi kalyānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Kumbhakarna rebukes Ravana and longs for Rama
Kumbhakarna tells Ravana plainly: you have done wrong, king of the night-roamers, and only now you wake me. Even now, brother, give up your pride and worship Rama, and all will be well. Is he a mere man whose servant is Hanuman? You have set yourself against the Lord whom Shiva, Brahma and the devas serve. Narada once gave me this knowledge, he says, and I would have told you, but the time has passed. Now embrace me, brother; I will go and make my eyes fruitful by seeing the dark-limbed, lotus-eyed one who frees beings from the three sufferings. For a moment he is lost in remembering Rama's form and virtues. Ravana orders a crore pots of liquor and many buffaloes for him.
हैं दससीस मनुज रघुनायक । जाके हनूमान से पायक ॥
अहह बन्धु तैं कीन्हि खोटाई । प्रथमहिँ मोहि न सुनाएहि आई ॥
haiṃ dasasīsa manuja raghunāyaka | jāke hanūmāna se pāyaka ||
ahaha bandhu taiṃ kīnhi khoṭāī | prathamahim̐ mohi na sunāehi āī ||
कीन्हेहु प्रभू बिरोध तेहि देवक । सिव बिरञ्चि सुर जाके सेवक ॥
नारद मुनि मोहि ग्यान जो कहा । कहतेउँ तोहि समय निरबहा ॥
kīnhehu prabhū birodha tehi devaka | siva birañci sura jāke sevaka ||
nārada muni mohi gyāna jo kahā | kahateum̐ tohi samaya nirabahā ||
अब भरि अङ्क भेंटु मोहि भाई । लोचन सुफल करउँ मैं जाई ॥
स्याम-गात सरसीरुह-लोचन । देखउँ जाइ ताप-त्रय-मोचन ॥
aba bhari aṅka bheṃṭu mohi bhāī | locana suphala karaum̐ maiṃ jāī ||
syāma-gāta sarasīruha-locana | dekhaum̐ jāi tāpa-traya-mocana ||
राम-रूप-गुन सुमिरत, लगन भयउ छन एक ।
रावन मागेउ कोटि घट, मद अरु महिष अनेक ॥
rāma-rūpa-guna sumirata, lagana bhayau chana eka |
rāvana māgeu koṭi ghaṭa, mada aru mahiṣa aneka ||
