लछिमन बान सरासन आनू। सोषौं बारिधि बिसिख कृसानू।। सठ सन बिनय कुटिल सन प्रीती। सहज कृपन सन सुंदर नीती।। ममता रत सन ग्यान कहानी। अति लोभी सन बिरति बखानी।। क्रोधिहि सम कामिहि हरि कथा। ऊसर बीज बएँ फल जथा।। अस कहि रघुपति चाप चढ़ावा। यह मत लछिमन के मन भावा।। संघानेउ प्रभु बिसिख कराला। उठी उदधि उर अंतर ज्वाला।। मकर उरग झष गन अकुलाने। जरत जंतु जलनिधि जब जाने।। कनक थार भरि मनि गन नाना। बिप्र रूप आयउ तजि माना।।

"Laksmana, bring Me My bow and arrows; I will dry up the ocean with a missile presided over by the god of fire. Supplication before an idiot, friendship with a rogue, inculcating liberality on a born miser, talking wisdom to one steeped in worldliness, glorifying dispassion before a man of excessive greed, a lecture on mindcontrol to an irascible man and a discourse on the exploits of Sri Hari to a libidinous person are as futile as sowing seeds in a barren land." So saying, the Lord of the Raghus strung His bow and this stand (of the Lord) delighted Laksmana's heart. When the Lord fitted the terrible arrow to His bow, a blazing fire broke out in the heart of the ocean; the alligators, serpents and fishes felt distressed. When the god presiding over the ocean found the creatures burning, he gave up his pride and, assuming the form of a Brahmana, came with a gold plate filled with all kinds of jewels.

नाथ नील नल कपि द्वौ भाई। लरिकाई रिषि आसिष पाई।। तिन्ह के परस किएँ गिरि भारे। तरिहहिं जलधि प्रताप तुम्हारे।। मैं पुनि उर धरि प्रभुताई। करिहउँ बल अनुमान सहाई।। एहि बिधि नाथ पयोधि बँधाइअ। जेहिं यह सुजसु लोक तिहुँ गाइअ।। एहि सर मम उत्तर तट बासी। हतहु नाथ खल नर अघ रासी।। सुनि कृपाल सागर मन पीरा। तुरतहिं हरी राम रनधीरा।। देखि राम बल पौरुष भारी। हरषि पयोनिधि भयउ सुखारी।। सकल चरित कहि प्रभुहि सुनावा। चरन बंदि पाथोधि सिधावा।।

My lord, the two monkey brothers, Nila, and Nala, got a boon in their childhood from a sage. Touched by them even huge mountains will float on the ocean by Your glory. Cherishing my lord's (Your) greatness I too shall help You to the best of my ability. In this way, my lord, have the ocean bridged, so that this glorious achievement of Yours may be sung in all three spheres of creation. With this arrow, my Lord, exterminate a race of vile criminals inhabiting my northern coast." On hearing this, Sri Rama, who was as tender-hearted as He was staunch in battle, immediately relieved the agony of Ocean's heart. The god presiding over the ocean was rejoiced and gratified to witness Sri Rama's astounding might and valour. He related to the Lord all the doings (of those villains); and bowing to His feet, Ocean took his leave.

सभय सिंधु गहि पद प्रभु केरे। छमहु नाथ सब अवगुन मेरे।। गगन समीर अनल जल धरनी। इन्ह कइ नाथ सहज जड़ करनी।। तव प्रेरित मायाँ उपजाए। सृष्टि हेतु सब ग्रंथनि गाए।। प्रभु आयसु जेहि कहँ जस अहई। सो तेहि भाँति रहे सुख लहई।। प्रभु भल कीन्ही मोहि सिख दीन्ही। मरजादा पुनि तुम्हरी कीन्ही।। ढोल गवाँर सूद्र पसु नारी। सकल ताड़ना के अधिकारी।। प्रभु प्रताप मैं जाब सुखाई। उतरिहि कटकु न मोरि बड़ाई।। प्रभु अग्या अपेल श्रुति गाई। करौं सो बेगि जौ तुम्हहि सोहाई।।

The god presiding over the ocean clasped the Lord's feet in dismay. "Forgive, my lord, all my faults. Ether, air, fire, water and earth- all these, my lord, are dull by nature. It is Maya (Cosmic Nature) which brought them forth for the purpose of creation under an impulse from You; so declare all the scriptures. One would attain happiness in life only by remaining where he has been placed by the Lord. My Lord has done well in giving me a lesson; but You have fixed certain limits for everyone. A drum, a rustic, a Sudra, a beast and a woman-all these deserve instructions. By the Lord's glory I shall be dried up and the army will cross over; but this will bring no credit to me. Your command, however is inviolable; thus declare the Vedas, I shall do at once what pleases You."

निज भवन गवनेउ सिंधु श्रीरघुपतिहि यह मत भायऊ। यह चरित कलि मलहर जथामति दास तुलसी गायऊ।। सुख भवन संसय समन दवन बिषाद रघुपति गुन गना।। तजि सकल आस भरोस गावहि सुनहि संतत सठ मना।।

The god presiding over the ocean left for his home; the idea (of bridging the ocean) commended itself to the blessed Lord of the Raghus. This story (of Sri Rama's exploits in this Kanda), which wipes out the impurities of the Kali age, has been sung by Tulasidasa according to his own (poor) lights. The excellences of Sri Rama (the Lord of the Raghus) are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubt and an unfailing remedy for sorrow. Therefore, giving up all other hope and faith, ever sing and hear them, O foolish mind.

Although three days had elapsed, the crass ocean would not answer the Lord's prayer. Sri Rama thereupon indignantly said, "There can be no friendship without inspiring fear."

काटेहिं पइ कदरी फरइ कोटि जतन कोउ सींच। बिनय न मान खगेस सुनु डाटेहिं पइ नव नीच।।58।।
kāṭēhiṃ pai kadarī pharai kōṭi jatana kōu sīṃca. binaya na māna khagēsa sunu ḍāṭēhiṃ pai nava nīca
Though one may take infinite pains in watering a plantain it will not bear fruit unless it is hewed. Similarly, mark me, O king of birds, (continues Kakabhusundi,) a vile fellow heeds no prayer but yields only when reprimanded.
