सुनत सभय मन मुख मुसुकाई। कहत दसानन सबहि सुनाई।। भूमि परा कर गहत अकासा। लघु तापस कर बाग बिलासा।। कह सुक नाथ सत्य सब बानी। समुझहु छाड़ि प्रकृति अभिमानी।। सुनहु बचन मम परिहरि क्रोधा। नाथ राम सन तजहु बिरोधा।। अति कोमल रघुबीर सुभाऊ। जद्यपि अखिल लोक कर राऊ।। मिलत कृपा तुम्ह पर प्रभु करिही। उर अपराध न एकउ धरिही।। जनकसुता रघुनाथहि दीजे। एतना कहा मोर प्रभु कीजे। जब तेहिं कहा देन बैदेही। चरन प्रहार कीन्ह सठ तेही।। नाइ चरन सिरु चला सो तहाँ। कृपासिंधु रघुनायक जहाँ।। करि प्रनामु निज कथा सुनाई। राम कृपाँ आपनि गति पाई।। रिषि अगस्ति कीं साप भवानी। राछस भयउ रहा मुनि ग्यानी।। बंदि राम पद बारहिं बारा। मुनि निज आश्रम कहुँ पगु धारा।।

Ravana was dismayed at heart as he listened to the above message but wore a feigned smile on his face and spoke aloud for all to hear: "The younger hermit's grand eloquence is just like attempt of a man lying on the ground to clutch with hands the vault of heaven." Said Suka, "My lord, giving up haughtiness take every word of it as true. Abandon passion and give ear to my advice: my lord, avoid a clash with Sri Rama. The Hero of Raghu's line is exceedingly mild of disposition, even though He is the lord of the entire universe. The Lord will shower His grace on you the moment you meet Him, and will not take to heart even a single offence of yours. Pray, restore Janaka's Daughter to Sri Rama; at least concede this request of mine." When Suka asked him to surrender Videha's Daughter, the wretch kicked him. Suka, however, bowed his head at Ravana's feet and proceeded to the place where the all-merciful Lord of the Raghus was. Making obeisance to the Lord he told Him all about himself and by Rama's grace recovered his original state. He was an enlightened sage; it was by Agastya's curse, Parvati, that he had been transformed into a demon. Adoring Sri Rama's feet again and again the sage returned to his hermitage.

Beguiling your mind with flattering words, O fool, do not bring your race to utter ruin. By courting enmity with Sri Rama you will not be spared even though you seek the protection of Visnu, Brahma or Siva. Therefore, abandoning pride, like your younger brother, either seek the lotus feet of the Lord as a bee or be consumed with your family like a moth into the fire of Sri Rama's shafts, O wretch.

राम तेज बल बुधि बिपुलाई। सेष सहस सत सकहिं न गाई।। सक सर एक सोषि सत सागर। तब भ्रातहि पूँछेउ नय नागर।। तासु बचन सुनि सागर पाहीं। मागत पंथ कृपा मन माहीं।। सुनत बचन बिहसा दससीसा। जौं असि मति सहाय कृत कीसा।। सहज भीरु कर बचन दृढ़ाई। सागर सन ठानी मचलाई।। मूढ़ मृषा का करसि बड़ाई। रिपु बल बुद्धि थाह मैं पाई।। सचिव सभीत बिभीषन जाकें। बिजय बिभूति कहाँ जग ताकें।। सुनि खल बचन दूत रिस बाढ़ी। समय बिचारि पत्रिका काढ़ी।। रामानुज दीन्ही यह पाती। नाथ बचाइ जुड़ावहु छाती।। बिहसि बाम कर लीन्ही रावन। सचिव बोलि सठ लाग बचावन।।

A hundred thousand Sesas would fail to describe the greatness of Sri Rama's valour, strength and intelligence. With a single shaft He could dry up a hundred seas; yet, being a master of propriety, He consulted your brother (Vibhisana) and in accordance with his suggestion He is asking passage of the ocean with a heart full of compassion." The ten-headed monster laughed to hear these words. "It was because of such wits that he (Rama) took monkeys for his allies. That is why, confirming the advice of my brother, who is a born coward, he is persistent in demanding of the ocean (like a pet child) something which is impossible. Fool, why do you bestow false praise on the enemy, whose might and wisdom I have fathomed. Triumph and glory in this world are inaccessible to him who has a cowardly counsellor like Vibhisana." The spy waxed angry to hear the words of the wicked monarch and taking it to be an opportune moment he took out the letter (from Laksmana). "Sri Rama's younger brother (Laksmana) gave me this note; have it read, my lord, and soothe your heart." Ravana laughed when he took the letter in his left hand; and summoning his minister, the fool asked him to read it out.

Each of these monkeys is as mighty as Sugriva (the king) and there are tens of millions like them; who can dare count them? By the grace of Sri Rama they are unequalled in strength and reckon the three spheres of creation as of no more account than a blade of grass. I have heard it said, Ravana, that the commanders of the various monkey-troops alone number eighteen thousand billions. In the whole host, my lord, there is not a single monkey who would not conquer you in battle. They are all wringing their hands in excess of passion; but the Lord of the Raghus does not order them (to march)." 'We shall suck the ocean dry with all its fish and serpents or fill it up with huge mountains. Nay, we shall crush the ten-headed Ravana and reduce him to dust.' Such were the words that all the monkeys uttered. Fearless by nature, they roared and bullied as if they would devour Lanka.

नाथ कृपा करि पूँछेहु जैसें। मानहु कहा क्रोध तजि तैसें।। मिला जाइ जब अनुज तुम्हारा। जातहिं राम तिलक तेहि सारा।। रावन दूत हमहि सुनि काना। कपिन्ह बाँधि दीन्हे दुख नाना।। श्रवन नासिका काटै लागे। राम सपथ दीन्हे हम त्यागे।। पूँछिहु नाथ राम कटकाई। बदन कोटि सत बरनि न जाई।। नाना बरन भालु कपि धारी। बिकटानन बिसाल भयकारी।। जेहिं पुर दहेउ हतेउ सुत तोरा। सकल कपिन्ह महँ तेहि बलु थोरा।। अमित नाम भट कठिन कराला। अमित नाग बल बिपुल बिसाला।।

My lord, just as you have so kindly put these questions to me, so do you believe what I say and be not angry. No sooner had your younger brother (Vibhisana) met Sri Rama then the latter applied the sacred mark of sovereignty on his forehead. When the monkeys heard that we were Ravana's (Your majesty's) spies, they bound us and persecuted us in many ways. They were about to cut off our ears and nose; but when we adjured them by Rama not to do so, they let us go. You have enquired, my lord, about Sri Rama's army; but a thousand million tongues would fail to describe it. It is a host of bears and monkeys of diverse hue and gruesome visage, huge and terrible. He who burnt your capital and killed your son (Aksa) is the weakest of all the monkeys. The army includes innumerable champions with as many names, fierce and unyielding monsters of vast bulk and possessing the strength of numberless elephants."

"All the monkeys and bears are born warriors and, besides, they have Lord Sri Rama over their head. Ravana, they can conquer in battle even millions of Yamas (death personified)."

Did you meet them or did they beat their retreat on hearing my fair renown? Why should you not speak of the enemy's prowess and strength; your wits seem utterly dazed."
