Chhand Text
धाए बिसाल कराल मर्कट भालु काल समान ते। मानहुँ सपच्छ उड़ाहिं भूधर बृंद नाना बान ते॥ नख दसन सैल महाद्रुमायुध सबल संक न मानहीं। जय राम रावन मत्त गज मृगराज सुजसु बखानहीं॥
Transliteration (IAST)
dhāe bisāla karāla markaṭa bhālu kāla samāna te। mānahuṃ sapaccha uṛāhiṃ bhūdhara bṛnda nānā bāna te॥ nakha dasana saila mahādrumāyudha sabala saṃka na mānahīṃ। jaya rāma rāvana matta gaja mṛgarāja sujasu bakhānahiṃ॥
Meaning
The huge and fierce monkeys and bears rushed forward, terrible as death itself. It was as if winged mountain-ranges were flying, of many colors and forms. Their nails, teeth, rocks, and great trees were their weapons; mighty as they were, they feared no one. With cries of 'Victory to Rama,' they praised the beautiful glory of the lion-like Lord who would subdue the maddened elephant Ravana.
