सुनु सर्बज्ञ कृपा सुख सिन्धो । दीन दयाकर आरत बंधो ॥
मरती बेर नाथ मोहि बाली । गयउ तुम्हारेहि कोंछें घाली ॥
sunu sarbajña kṛpā sukha sindho | dīna dayākara ārata baṃdho ||
maratī bera nātha mohi bālī | gayau tumhārehi koṃcheṃ ghālī ||

What happens in this chapter
Angada begs not to be sent away
Angada pleads with the ocean of mercy. When Bali was dying, Lord, he left me in your lap. Remember your vow to shelter the shelterless, and do not abandon me. You are my master, guru, father and mother; leaving your feet, where would I go? What would I do at home without you? I am a child without knowledge or strength. Keep me as a humble servant; I will do all the lowly work of the house and cross the world by seeing your feet. He falls at Rama's feet: do not tell me to go home. Rama lifts him and holds him to his heart, eyes wet. He puts his own garland, clothes and jewels on Bali's son, explains at length, and sends him off.
असरन सरन बिरद सम्भारी । मोहि जनि तजहु भगत हितकारी ॥
मोरें तुम्ह प्रभु गुरु पितु माता । जाउँ कहाँ तजि पद-जलजाता ॥
asarana sarana birada sambhārī | mohi jani tajahu bhagata hitakārī ||
moreṃ tumha prabhu guru pitu mātā | jāum̐ kahām̐ taji pada-jalajātā ||
तुम्हहि बिचारि कहहु नरनाहा । प्रभु तजि भवन काज सम काहा ॥
बालक ज्ञान बुद्धि बल हीना । राखहु सरल नाथ जन दीना ॥
tumhahi bicāri kahahu naranāhā | prabhu taji bhavana kāja sama kāhā ||
bālaka jñāna buddhi bala hīnā | rākhahu sarala nātha jana dīnā ||
नीचि टहल गृह के सब करिहउँ । पद-पङ्कज बिलोकि भव तरिहउँ ॥
अस कहि चरन परेउ प्रभु पाही । अब जनि नाथ कहहु गृह जाही ॥
nīci ṭahala gṛha ke saba karihaum̐ | pada-paṅkaja biloki bhava tarihaum̐ ||
asa kahi carana pareu prabhu pāhī | aba jani nātha kahahu gṛha jāhī ||
अङ्गद बचन बिनीत सुनि, रघुपति करुना सीँव ।
प्रभु उठाइ उर लायउ, सजल नयन राजीव ॥
aṅgada bacana binīta suni, raghupati karunā sīm̐va |
prabhu uṭhāi ura lāyau, sajala nayana rājīva ||
निज उर माल बसन मनि बालितनय पहिराई ।
बिदा कीन्ह भगवान तब, बहु प्रकार समुझाइ ॥
nija ura māla basana mani bālitanaya pahirāī |
bidā kīnha bhagavāna taba, bahu prakāra samujhāi ||
