Lachhimanahhun yah maramu na jana

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 24 · Aranya Kand

Chaupai Text

लछिमनहूँ यह मरमु न जाना। जो कछु चरित रचा भगवाना॥ दसमुख गयउ जहाँ मारीचा। नाइ माथ स्वारथ रत नीचा॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

lachimanhūṃ yaha maramu na jānā। jo kachu carita racā bhagavānā॥ dasamukha gayau jahām̐ mārīcā। nāi mātha svāratha rata nīcā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Lakshmana too did not understand this secret—that whatever play the Lord had arranged. Ravana, low and devoted to self-interest, went to Maricha and bowed his head to him.
