लङ्का निसिचर निकर निवासा । इहाँ कहाँ सज्जन कर बासा ॥
मन महँ तरक करइ कपि लागा । तेहीं समय बिभीषन जागा ॥
laṅkā nisicara nikara nivāsā | ihām̐ kahām̐ sajjana kara bāsā ||
mana maham̐ taraka karai kapi lāgā | tehīṃ samaya bibhīṣana jāgā ||

Hanuman meets Vibhishana
Lanka is a nest of rakshasas, Hanuman wonders; how does a good man live here? Just then Vibhishana wakes, saying Rama, Rama. Hanuman's heart leaps, for he knows a sadhu by that. Meeting a holy man can never harm the work, he decides, and he will make himself known. In a brahmin's form he speaks. Vibhishana comes out, bows and asks his story. Are you one of Hari's servants? My heart feels great love for you. Or are you Rama himself, friend of the humble, come to bless me? Then Hanuman tells him Rama's whole katha and his own name. Both thrill from head to foot, their minds sunk in remembering the Lord's virtues.
राम राम तेहिं सुमिरन कीन्हा । हृदयँ हरष कपि सज्जन चीन्हा ॥
एहि सन हठि करिहउँ पहिचानी । साधु ते होइ न कारज हानी ॥
rāma rāma tehiṃ sumirana kīnhā | hṛdayam̐ haraṣa kapi sajjana cīnhā ||
ehi sana haṭhi karihaum̐ pahicānī | sādhu te hoi na kāraja hānī ||
बिप्र रूप धरि बचन सुनाये । सुनत विभीषन उठि तहँ आये ॥
करि प्रनाम पूछी कुसलाई । बिप्र कहहु निज कथा बुझाई ॥
bipra rūpa dhari bacana sunāye | sunata vibhīṣana uṭhi taham̐ āye ||
kari pranāma pūchī kusalāī | bipra kahahu nija kathā bujhāī ||
की तुम्ह हरि दासन्ह महँ कोई । मोरें हृदय प्रीति अति होई ॥
की तुम्ह राम दीन-अनुरागी । आयहु मोहि करन बड़-भागी ॥
kī tumha hari dāsanha maham̐ koī | moreṃ hṛdaya prīti ati hoī ||
kī tumha rāma dīna-anurāgī | āyahu mohi karana bar̤a-bhāgī ||
तब हनुमन्त कही सब, राम कथा निज नाम ।
सुनत जुगल तन पुलक मन, मगन सुमिरि गुन ग्राम ॥
taba hanumanta kahī saba, rāma kathā nija nāma |
sunata jugala tana pulaka mana, magana sumiri guna grāma ||
