रे खल का मारसि कपि भालू । मोहि बिलोकु तोर मैं कालू ॥
खोजत रहेउँ तोहि सुत-घाती । आजु निपाति जुड़ावउँ छाती ॥
re khala kā mārasi kapi bhālū | mohi biloku tora maiṃ kālū ||
khojata raheum̐ tohi suta-ghātī | āju nipāti jur̤āvaum̐ chātī ||

What happens in this chapter
Ravana's Brahma-given spear strikes Lakshmana
Ravana taunts Lakshmana: what can you do with the monkeys and bears? Look at me. I have been searching for you, killer of my son; today I will strike you down and cool my heart. He looses fierce arrows, and Lakshmana cuts them all to pieces. Lakshmana smashes the chariot, kills the charioteer and fills his heads and chest with arrows. Ravana falls senseless. Recovering, he hurls the spear Brahma gave him. It strikes Lakshmana, who is Ananta himself, full in the chest, and he falls. Ravana tries to lift him and cannot: the fool does not know that on one of his heads the whole universe rests like a grain of dust. Hanuman runs up with harsh words, and Ravana strikes him with his fist.
अस कहि छाड़ेसि बान प्रचंडा । लछिमन किये सकल सत खंडा ॥
कोटिन्ह आयुध रावन डारे । तिल प्रवान करि काटि निवारे ॥
asa kahi chār̤esi bāna pracaṃḍā | lachimana kiye sakala sata khaṃḍā ||
koṭinha āyudha rāvana ḍāre | tila pravāna kari kāṭi nivāre ||
पुनि निज बानन्ह कीन्ह प्रहारा । स्यन्दन भंजि सारथी मारा ॥
सत सत सर मारे दस भाला । गिरि-सृङ्गन्ह जनु प्रबिसहिँ ब्याला ॥
puni nija bānanha kīnha prahārā | syandana bhaṃji sārathī mārā ||
sata sata sara māre dasa bhālā | giri-sṛṅganha janu prabisahim̐ byālā ||
पुनि सत सर पुनि मारा उर माहीं । परेउ धरनि तल सुधि कछु नाहीं ॥
उठा प्रबल पुनि मुरछा जागी । छाडिसि ब्रह्म दीन्हि जो साँगीं ॥
puni sata sara puni mārā ura māhīṃ | pareu dharani tala sudhi kachu nāhīṃ ||
uṭhā prabala puni murachā jāgī | chāḍisi brahma dīnhi jo sām̐gīṃ ||
से ब्रह्म-दत्त प्रचंड सक्ति अनन्त उर लागी सही ।
पर्यो बीर विकल उठाव दसमुख, अतुल बल महिमा रही ॥
ब्रह्मांड-भुवन बिराज जाकें एक सिर जिमि रज-कनी ।
तेहि वह उठावन मूढ़ रावन, जान नहिँ त्रिभुवन-धनी ॥
se brahma-datta pracaṃḍa sakti ananta ura lāgī sahī |
paryo bīra vikala uṭhāva dasamukha, atula bala mahimā rahī ||
brahmāṃḍa-bhuvana birāja jākeṃ eka sira jimi raja-kanī |
tehi vaha uṭhāvana mūr̤ha rāvana, jāna nahim̐ tribhuvana-dhanī ||
देखि पवनसुत धायउ, बोलत बचन कठोर ।
आवत कपिहि हनेड तेहिं, मुष्टि-प्रहार प्रघोर ॥
dekhi pavanasuta dhāyau, bolata bacana kaṭhora |
āvata kapihi haneḍa tehiṃ, muṣṭi-prahāra praghora ||
