कोटिन्ह मेघनाद सम सुभट उठे हरषाइ। झपटहिं टरै न कपि चरन पुनि बैठहिं सिर नाइ।।34(क)।। भूमि न छाँडत कपि चरन देखत रिपु मद भाग।। कोटि बिघ्न ते संत कर मन जिमि नीति न त्याग।।34(ख)।।
kōṭinha mēghanāda sama subhaṭa uṭhē haraṣāi. jhapaṭahiṃ ṭarai na kapi carana puni baiṭhahiṃ sira nāi..34ka.. bhūmi na chāomḍata kapi carana dēkhata ripu mada bhāga.. kōṭi bighna tē saṃta kara mana jimi nīti na tyāga..34kha..
Myriads of great warriors of Meghanada's might arose with joy and swooped down; but the monkey's foot did not budge, and they hung their heads and sat down again. The monkey's foot would no more leave the ground than the soul of a saint would give up moral uprightness even though confronted with numberless obstacles. The enemy's pride left him when he witnessed this.
