Sanskrit Original
बातन्ह मनहि रिझाइ सठ जनि घालसि कुल खीस। राम बिरोध न उबरसि सरन बिष्नु अज ईस।।56(क)।। की तजि मान अनुज इव प्रभु पद पंकज भृंग। होहि कि राम सरानल खल कुल सहित पतंग।।56(ख)।।
bātanha manahi rijhāi saṭha jani ghālasi kula khīsa. rāma birōdha na ubarasi sarana biṣnu aja īsa kī taji māna anuja iva prabhu pada paṃkaja bhṛṃga. hōhi ki rāma sarānala khala kula sahita pataṃga
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.
