जाहु बेगि संकट अति भ्राता। लछिमन बिहसि कहा सुनु माता॥ भृकुटि बिलास सृष्टि लय होई। सपनेहुँ संकट परइ कि सोई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jāhu begi saṃkaṭa ati bhrātā। lachimana bihasi kahā sunu mātā॥ bhṛkuṭi bilāsa sṛṣṭi laya hoī। sapanẽhuṃ saṃkaṭa parai ki soī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

'Go quickly; your brother is in great danger.' Lakshmana smiled and said, 'Listen, Mother. By a mere play of His brows the whole creation is dissolved. Could such a one ever be in danger, even in a dream?'
