råma manuja kasa re sa¢ha ba≈gå, dhanv∂ kåmu nad∂ puni ga≈gå.
pasu suradhenu kalpataru rµukhå, anna dåna aru rasa p∂yµuå.3.
bainateya khaga ahi sahasånana, ci≈tåmani puni upala dasånana.
sunu matima≈da loka baiku≈¢hå, låbha ki raghupati bhagati aku≈¢hå.4.
On hearing this, A∆gada indignantly replied: ìTake care what you say, you
vainglorious wretch. How can He be accounted a man, you wretched Råvaƒa, at whose
very sight melted away the pride of Para‹uråmaóthe same Para‹uråma whose axe was
like a fire to consume King Sahasrabåhuís boundless forest of arms, or (to use another
simile) like the sea in whose swift tide have drowned innumerable kings time after time.
How can ›r∂ Råma be a mortal, you arrogant fool? Is the god of love a mere archer, the
Ga∆gå a mere stream, the cow of plenty a mere beast, the tree of Paradise a mere tree,
the gift of food an ordinary gift, nectar an ordinary drink, GaruŒa (the mount of God
Viƒu) a mere bird, the thousand-headed ›ea a mere serpent and the wish-yielding gem
a mere stone, O ten-headed monster? Listen, O dullard: is VaikuĢha an ordinary sphere
and unflinching devotion to the Lord of the Raghus an ordinary gain?î (1ó4)

kasa re sa¢ha hanumåna kapi gayau jo tava suta måri.26.
ìWhat ! is Hanumån, O fool, an ordinary monkey, who got off unhurt after trampling
your pride as well as that of your army, laying waste your garden, setting your capital
on fire and slaying your own son?î (26)

Cau.: sunu råvana parihari caturå∂, bhajasi na kæpåsi≈dhu raghurå∂.

ìListen, Råvaƒa: giving up all hypocrisy, why do you not adore the All-merciful
Lord of the Raghus? Oh wretch, if you pit yourself against Råma, even Brahmå (the
Creator) and Rudra (Lord ›iva) cannot save you. Fool, brag not in vain; if you contend
