बिनु-प्रयास हनुमान उठायो । लङ्का-द्वार राखि पुनि आयो ॥
तासु मरन सुनि सुर गन्धर्बा । चढ़ि बिमान आये नभ सर्बा ॥
binu-prayāsa hanumāna uṭhāyo | laṅkā-dvāra rākhi puni āyo ||
tāsu marana suni sura gandharbā | car̤hi bimāna āye nabha sarbā ||

Devas rejoice and Lanka mourns Meghanada
Hanuman lifts Meghanada's body without effort, lays it at the gate of Lanka and returns. Hearing of his death, devas and gandharvas gather in the sky in their vimanas, shower flowers, beat drums and sing the spotless fame of Shri Raghubira: victory to the endless one, support of the world; you have delivered all the devas. Having praised him they depart, and Lakshmana comes back to the ocean of mercy. When Ravana hears of his son's death he faints and falls to the ground. Mandodari weeps aloud and beats her breast, crying out in many ways. The whole city is in distress, and everyone calls Ravana wretched. Then Ravana consoles the women with many words: see in your hearts that the whole world is perishable.
बरषि सुमन दुंदुभीं बजावहिँ । श्रीरघुबीर-बिमल-जस गावहिँ ॥
जय अनन्त जय जगदाधारा । तुम्ह प्रभु सब देवन्ह निस्तारा ॥
baraṣi sumana duṃdubhīṃ bajāvahim̐ | śrīraghubīra-bimala-jasa gāvahim̐ ||
jaya ananta jaya jagadādhārā | tumha prabhu saba devanha nistārā ||
अस्तुति करि सुर सिद्ध सिधाये । लछिमन कृपासिन्धु पहिँ आये ॥
सुत बध सुना दसानन जबहीं । मुरछित भयउ परेउ महि तबहीं ॥
astuti kari sura siddha sidhāye | lachimana kṛpāsindhu pahim̐ āye ||
suta badha sunā dasānana jabahīṃ | murachita bhayau pareu mahi tabahīṃ ||
मन्दोदरी रुदन कर भारी । उर ताड़न बहु भाँति पुकारी ॥
नगर लोग सब व्याकुल सेवा । सकल कहहिँ दसकन्धर पोचा ॥
mandodarī rudana kara bhārī | ura tār̤ana bahu bhām̐ti pukārī ||
nagara loga saba vyākula sevā | sakala kahahim̐ dasakandhara pocā ||
तब दसकंठ विविध विधि, समुझाईं सब नारि ।
नस्वर-रूप जगत सब, देखहु हृदयँ बिचारि ॥
taba dasakaṃṭha vividha vidhi, samujhāīṃ saba nāri |
nasvara-rūpa jagata saba, dekhahu hṛdayam̐ bicāri ||
