Sanskrit Original
सुनु गिरिजा क्रोधानल जासू। जारइ भुवन चारिदस आसू।। सक संग्राम जीति को ताही। सेवहिं सुर नर अग जग जाही।। यह कौतूहल जानइ सोई। जा पर कृपा राम कै होई।। संध्या भइ फिरि द्वौ बाहनी। लगे सँभारन निज निज अनी।। ब्यापक ब्रह्म अजित भुवनेस्वर। लछिमन कहाँ बूझ करुनाकर।। तब लगि लै आयउ हनुमाना। अनुज देखि प्रभु अति दुख माना।। जामवंत कह बैद सुषेना। लंकाँ रहइ को पठई लेना।। धरि लघु रूप गयउ हनुमंता। आनेउ भवन समेत तुरंता।।

Listen, Parvati : (continues Lord Sankara,) none can conquer him in battle, the fire of whose wrath speedily consumes all the fourteen spheres (at the time of universal dissolution), and whom gods and human beings, nay, all animate and inanimate beings adore. He alone can understand this mystery, on whom descends Sri Rama's grace. Now that it was evening, both the armies retired and the commanders of the different units began taking count of their troops. The All-merciful and invincible Lord of the universe, the all-pervading supreme Spirit, asked : "Where is Laksmana?" Meanwhile Hanuman brought him; seeing His younger brother (in a swoon) the Lord felt sore distressed. Jambavan said, "Susena, the physician, lives in Lanka; someone should be sent to fetch him here." Assuming a minute (indiscernible) form Hanuman went and immediately brought him, house and all.
