Ur daheu kaheu ki dharahu dhae

Chhand, Under Doha 19 · Aranya Kand

Chhand Text

उर दहेउ कहेउ कि धरहु धाए बिकट भट रजनीचरा। सर चाप तोमर सक्ति सूल कृपान परिघ परसु धरा॥ प्रभु कीन्हि धनुष टकोर प्रथम कठोर घोर भयावहा। भए बधिर ब्याकुल जातुधान न ग्यान तेहि अवसर रहा॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ura daheu kaheu ki dharahu dhāe vikaṭa bhaṭa rajanīcarā। sara cāpa tomara sakti sūla kṛpāna parigha paraśu dharā॥ prabhu kīnhi dhanuṣa ṭakora prathama kaṭhora ghora bhayāvahā। bhae badhira byākula jātudhāna na gyāna tehi avasara rahā॥

Meaning

[Khara-Dushana's] heart burned. Then he said, 'Seize them!' Hearing this, the fierce demon warriors rushed forward wielding arrows, bows, tomars, shaktis, spears, swords, clubs, and axes. Lord Rama first gave his bow a terrible, harsh twang; hearing it, the demons were rendered deaf and bewildered. At that moment they retained no awareness at all.
