बुध-पुरान-स्रुति-सम्मत बानी । कही बिभीषन नीति बखानी ॥
सुनत दसानन उठा रिसाई । खल तोहि निकट मृत्यु अब आई ॥
budha-purāna-sruti-sammata bānī | kahī bibhīṣana nīti bakhānī ||
sunata dasānana uṭhā risāī | khala tohi nikaṭa mṛtyu aba āī ||

What happens in this chapter
Ravana kicks Vibhishana away
Vibhishana's counsel agrees with the wise, the Puranas and the Shruti, but Ravana rises in rage, his death near. Fool, you live because I let you, yet you side with the enemy. You live in my city and love those ascetics; go to them and preach. He kicks his brother, who still clasps his feet again and again. Shiva tells Uma: a saint's greatness is to do good to one who wrongs him. Vibhishana leaves by the sky with his ministers, declaring: Rama is the Lord, true to His resolve, and your court is in Death's grip. I go to Raghubir's refuge; do not blame me.
जिअसि सदा सठ मोर जिआवा । रिपु कर पच्छ मूढ़ तोहि भावा ॥
कहसि न खल अस को जग माहीँ । भुज बल जाहि जिता मैं नाहीं ॥
jiasi sadā saṭha mora jiāvā | ripu kara paccha mūr̤ha tohi bhāvā ||
kahasi na khala asa ko jaga māhīm̐ | bhuja bala jāhi jitā maiṃ nāhīṃ ||
मम पुर बसि तपसिन्ह पर प्रीती । सठ मिलु जाइ तिन्हहिँ कहु नीती ॥
अस कहि कीन्हेसि चरन प्रहारा । अनुज गहे पद बारहिँ बारा ॥
mama pura basi tapasinha para prītī | saṭha milu jāi tinhahim̐ kahu nītī ||
asa kahi kīnhesi carana prahārā | anuja gahe pada bārahim̐ bārā ||
उमा सन्त कइ इहइ बड़ाई । मन्द करत जो करई भलाई ॥
तुम्ह पितु-सरिस भलेहिं मोहि मारा । अस कहि कीन्हेसि चरन प्रहारा ॥
umā santa kai ihai bar̤āī | manda karata jo karaī bhalāī ||
tumha pitu-sarisa bhalehiṃ mohi mārā | asa kahi kīnhesi carana prahārā ||
सचिव सङ्ग लेइ नभ-पथ गयऊ । सबहि सुनाइ कहत अस भयऊ ॥
saciva saṅga lei nabha-patha gayaū | sabahi sunāi kahata asa bhayaū ||
राम सत्यसङ्कल्प प्रभु, सभा काल-बस तोरि ।
मैं रघुबीर सरन अब, जाउँ देहु जनि खोरि ॥
rāma satyasaṅkalpa prabhu, sabhā kāla-basa tori |
maiṃ raghubīra sarana aba, jāum̐ dehu jani khori ||
