Sanskrit Original
जानउँ मैं तुम्हारि प्रभुताई। सहसबाहु सन परी लराई।। समर बालि सन करि जसु पावा। सुनि कपि बचन बिहसि बिहरावा।। खायउँ फल प्रभु लागी भूँखा। कपि सुभाव तें तोरेउँ रूखा।। सब कें देह परम प्रिय स्वामी। मारहिं मोहि कुमारग गामी।। जिन्ह मोहि मारा ते मैं मारे। तेहि पर बाँधेउ तनयँ तुम्हारे।। मोहि न कछु बाँधे कइ लाजा। कीन्ह चहउँ निज प्रभु कर काजा।। बिनती करउँ जोरि कर रावन। सुनहु मान तजि मोर सिखावन।। देखहु तुम्ह निज कुलहि बिचारी। भ्रम तजि भजहु भगत भय हारी।। जाकें डर अति काल डेराई। जो सुर असुर चराचर खाई।। तासों बयरु कबहुँ नहिं कीजै। मोरे कहें जानकी दीजै।।

"I am aware of your glory: you had an encounter with Sahasrabahu* and won distinction in your contest with Vali.†" Ravana heard the words of Hanuman but laughed them away. "I ate the fruit because I felt hungry and broke the boughs as a monkey is wont to do. One's body, my master, is supremely dear to all; yet those wicked fellows would insist on belabouring me, so that I had no course left but to return their blows. Still your son (Meghanada) put me in bonds; but I am not at all ashamed of being bound, keen as I am to serve the cause of my lord. I implore you with joined palms, Ravana: give up your haughtiness and heed my advice. Think of your lineage and view things in that perspective; in any case disillusion yourself and adore Him who dispels the fear of His devotees. Never antagonize Him who is a source of terror even to Death, that devours all created beings, both animate and inanimate, gods as well as demons. And return Janaka's Daughter at my request
