अस कहि चला बिभीषन जबहीं । आयू-हीन भये सब तबहीं ॥
साधु अवज्ञा तुरत भवानी । कर कल्यान अखिल कै हानी ॥
asa kahi calā bibhīṣana jabahīṃ | āyū-hīna bhaye saba tabahīṃ ||
sādhu avajñā turata bhavānī | kara kalyāna akhila kai hānī ||

What happens in this chapter
Vibhishana sets out longing for Rama's feet
The moment Vibhishana leaves, all in Lanka lose their life-span. Shiva tells Bhavani: contempt for a sadhu at once destroys every good. When Ravana cast out Vibhishana, the unlucky king was stripped of his fortune. Vibhishana goes joyfully toward Raghunayak, his mind full of longing. I will go and see those lotus feet, red and soft, that give joy to servants; the feet whose touch saved the rishi's wife and made the Dandaka forest holy. The feet whose sandals Bharat keeps his mind upon, today I shall see with these eyes.
रावन जबहिँ बिभीषन त्यागा । भयउ विभव बिनु तबहिँ अभागा ॥
चलेउ हरषि रघुनायक पाहीँ । करत मनोरथ बहु मन माहीं ॥
rāvana jabahim̐ bibhīṣana tyāgā | bhayau vibhava binu tabahim̐ abhāgā ||
caleu haraṣi raghunāyaka pāhīm̐ | karata manoratha bahu mana māhīṃ ||
देखिहउँ जाइ चरन-जलजाता । अरुन मृदुल सेवक सुख-दाता ॥
जो पद परसि तरी रिषि-नारी । दंडक-कानन पावन-कारी ॥
dekhihaum̐ jāi carana-jalajātā | aruna mṛdula sevaka sukha-dātā ||
jo pada parasi tarī riṣi-nārī | daṃḍaka-kānana pāvana-kārī ||
अरुन मृदुल सेवक सुख-दाता । कपट-कुरङ्ग-सँग, धर धाए ॥
हर उर सर सरोज पद जेई । देखिहउँ जाइ चरन-जलजाता ॥
aruna mṛdula sevaka sukha-dātā | kapaṭa-kuraṅga-sam̐ga, dhara dhāe ||
hara ura sara saroja pada jeī | dekhihaum̐ jāi carana-jalajātā ||
जिन्ह पायन्ह के पादुकन्हि, भरत रहे मन लाइ ।
ते पद आजु बिलोकिहउँ, इन्ह नयनन्हि अब जाइ ॥
jinha pāyanha ke pādukanhi, bharata rahe mana lāi |
te pada āju bilokihaum̐, inha nayananhi aba jāi ||
