2.जैसे कूदि सिन्धु वहि पारा। सुरसा बदन पैठि बिस्तारा॥
आगे जाय लंकिनी रोका। मारेहु लात गई सुर लोका॥

Jaise Kudi Sindhu Mahipaara, 
Surasa Badan Paithi Vistaara.
Aage Jaay Lankini Roka, 
Maarehu Laat Gai Suraloka.

[Come running] just like when you leapt accross the ocean, entered and then emerged from the expanded mouth of Surasa [who tried to obstruct your path], and on landing in Lanka sent the demoness Lankini to the heavenly abode by kicking her to death [when she tried to prevent you from entering the city].

Sita Nirakhi Parampad Linha.
Baag Ujaari Sindhu Mah Bora, 
Ati Aatur Jamkaatar Tora.

In Lanka you gave pleasure to Vibhishan [by meeting him] and attained the supreme position [of being loved by Sri Ram] due to Sita’s merciful benediction. Then you laid waste the Ashoka grove and dumped the trees in the ocean, symbolically breaking the knife of Yama, the God of Death.

Loom Lapet Lank Ko Jaara.
Laah Samaan Lank Jari Gai, 
Jay Jay Dhuni Surpur Me Bhai.

You killed Akshay Kumar (Ravana’s son) and burnt Lanka with your tail. Lanka burned like lac (molten wax) and the heavens were filled by the sound of “Hail to Hanuman’s glory”.

Kripa Karahu Ur Antaryaami.
Jay Jay Lakhan Pran Ke Data, 
Aatur Hoy Dukh Karahu Nipaata.
