Dhahe mahidhar sikhar kotinh bibidh bidhi

Chhand, Under Doha 49 · Lanka Kand

Chhand Text

ढाहे महीधर सिखर कोटिन्ह बिबिध बिधि गोला चले। घहरात जिमि पबिपात गर्जत जनु प्रलय के बादले॥ मर्कट बिकट भट जुटत कटत न लटत तन जर्जर भए। गहि सैल तेहि गढ़ पर चलावहिं जहँ सो तहँ निसिचर हए॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ḍhāhe mahīdhara sikhara koṭinha bibidha bidhi golā cale। ghaharāta jimi pabipāta garjata janu pralaya ke bādale॥ markaṭa bikaṭa bhaṭa juṭata kata na laṭata tana jarjara bhae। gahi saila tehi gaṛha para calāvahiṃ jahaṃ so tahṃ nisicara hae॥

Meaning

They brought down the peaks of countless mountains, and missiles of many kinds began to fly. Those missiles thundered like lightning striking, and the warriors roared like the clouds of dissolution. Fierce monkey warriors fought on; though cut and mangled, their bodies became shattered, yet they did not falter. Lifting mountains, they hurled them onto the fort, and the demons were struck down wherever they stood.
