Sanskrit Original
रघुबंसिन्ह महुँ जहँ कोउ होई। तेहिं समाज अस कहइ न कोई।। कही जनक जसि अनुचित बानी। बिद्यमान रघुकुल मनि जानी।। सुनहु भानुकुल पंकज भानू। कहउँ सुभाउ न कछु अभिमानू।। जौ तुम्हारि अनुसासन पावौं। कंदुक इव ब्रह्मांड उठावौं।। काचे घट जिमि डारौं फोरी। सकउँ मेरु मूलक जिमि तोरी।। तव प्रताप महिमा भगवाना। को बापुरो पिनाक पुराना।। नाथ जानि अस आयसु होऊ। कौतुकु करौं बिलोकिअ सोऊ।। कमल नाल जिमि चाफ चढ़ावौं। जोजन सत प्रमान लै धावौं।।
raghubaṃsinha mahu jahaom kōu hōī. tēhiṃ samāja asa kahai na kōī.. kahī janaka jasi anucita bānī. bidyamāna raghukula mani jānī.. sunahu bhānukula paṃkaja bhānū. kahau subhāu na kachu abhimānū.. jau tumhāri anusāsana pāvauṃ. kaṃduka iva brahmāṃḍa uṭhāvauṃ.. kācē ghaṭa jimi ḍārauṃ phōrī. sakau mēru mūlaka jimi tōrī.. tava pratāpa mahimā bhagavānā. kō bāpurō pināka purānā.. nātha jāni asa āyasu hōū. kautuku karauṃ bilōkia sōū.. kamala nāla jimi cāpha caḍhaāvauṃ. jōjana sata pramāna lai dhāvauṃ..
In an assembly where any one of Raghu's race is present no one would dare speak such scandalous words as Janaka has done, even though conscious of the presence of Sri Rama, the Jewel of Raghu's race. (Turning towards his brother, he added) "Listen, O Delighter of the solar race, I sincerely tell You, without any vain boasting: if I but have Your permission, I will lift the round world like a ball and smash it like an ill-baked earthen jar; and by the glory of Your majesty, O blessed Lord, I can break Mount Meru like a radish. What, then, is this wretched old bow? Realizing this, my Lord, let me have Your command and see what wonders I work; I will string the bow as though it were a lotus-stalk and run with it not less than eight hundred miles.
