Chhand Text

धरि कुधर खंड प्रचंड मर्कट भालु गढ़ पर डारहीं। झपटहिं चरन गहि पटकि महि भजि चलत बहुरि पचारहीं॥ अति तरल तरुन प्रताप तरपहिं तमकि गढ़ चढ़ि चढ़ि गए। कपि भालु चढ़ि मंदिरन्ह जहँ तहँ राम जसु गावत भए॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dhari kudhara khaṇḍa pracaṇḍa markaṭa bhālu gaṛha para ḍārahīm̐। jhapatahim carana gahi paṭaki mahi bhaji calata bahuri pacārahīm̐॥ ati tarala taruna pratāpa tarpahim tamaki gaṛha caṛhi caṛhi gae। kapi bhālu caṛhi mandiranha jaham̐ taham̐ Rāma jasu gāvata bhae॥

Meaning

The mighty monkeys and bears lift chunks of mountains and hurl them onto the fortress. They spring at the demons, seize their feet, fling them to the ground, and then flee and taunt them again. Agile and brilliant with power, they leap up swiftly and scale the fortress; monkeys and bears climb into the palaces wherever they can and begin singing the glory of Rama.
