ਅਥ ਲਛਮਣ ਜ੝ਧ ਕਥਨੰ
Now begins the story of Lachhman-war.
ਅਣਕਾ ਛੰਦ ॥
ANKA STANZA
ਜਬ ਸਰ ਲਾਗੇ ॥ ਤਬ ਸਭ ਭਾਗੇ ॥ ਦਲਪਤਿ ਮਾਰੇ ॥ ਭਟ ਭਟਕਾਰੇ ॥੭੪੩॥
When the arrows struck, then all ran away; the generals were killed and the warriors ran hither and thither.743.
ਹਯ ਤਜਿ ਭਾਗੇ ॥ ਰਘ੝ਬਰ ਆਗੇ ॥ ਬਹ੝ ਬਿਧਿ ਰੋਵੈ ॥ ਸਮ੝ਹਿ ਨ ਜੋਵੈ ॥੭੪੪॥
Leaving their horses, they ran towards Ram and lamenting in various ways, they had no courage to come face to face.744.
ਲਵ ਅਰਿ ਮਾਰੇ ॥ ਤਵ ਦਲ ਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਦੈੂ ਸਿਸ ਜੀਤੇ ॥ ਨਹ ਭਯ ਭੀਤੇ ॥੭੪੫॥
(The soldiers said to Ram:) "Lava, killing the enemies, has defeated your army; those two boys are fearlessly waging the war and have gained victory,"745.
ਲਛਮਨ ਭੇਜਾ ॥ ਬਹ੝ ਦਲ ਲੇਜਾ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਿਸ ਮਾਰੂ ॥ ਮੋਹਿ ਦਿਖਾਰੂ ॥੭੪੬॥
Ram asked Lakshman to take a huge army and sent him; he said to him, "Do not kill those boys, but catch hold of them and show them to me."746.
ਸ੝ਣ ਲਹ੝ ਭ੝ਰਾਤੰ ॥ ਰਘ੝ਬਰ ਬਾਤੰ ॥ ਸਜਿ ਦਲ ਚਲਿਯੋ ॥ ਜਲ ਥਲ ਹਲਿਯੋ ॥੭੪੭॥
Hearing the words of Raghuvir, Lakshman started, decorating his forces and sharing the waters and the planes.747.
ਉਠਿ ਦਲ ਧੂਰੰ ॥ ਨਭਿ ਝੜ ਪੂਰੰ ॥ ਚਹੂ ਦਿਸ ਢੂਕੇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੂਕੇ ॥੭੪੮॥
The sky was filled with dust because of the movement of the army, all the soldiers rushed forth from all the four directions and began to remember the name of the Lord.748.
ਬਰਖਤ ਬਾਣੰ ॥ ਥਿਰਕਤ ਜ੝ਆਣੰ ॥ ਲਹਿ ਲਹਿ ਧ੝ਜਣੰ ॥ ਖਹਿ ਖਹਿ ਭ੝ਜਣੰ ॥੭੪੯॥
The staggering soldiers began to shower arrows, the banners waved and the arms fought with one another.749.
ਹਸਿ ਹਸਿ ਢੂਕੇ ॥ ਕਸਿ ਕਸਿ ਕੂਕੇ ॥ ਸ੝ਣਿ ਸ੝ਣਿ ਬਾਲੰ ॥ ਹਠਿ ਤਜ ਉਤਾਲੰ ॥੭੫੦॥
Coming near smilingly they shouted loudly, "O boys ! forsake your persistence quickly."750.
ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥
DOHRA
ਹਮ ਨਹੀ ਤਯਾਗਤ ਬਾਜ ਬਰ ਸ੝ਣਿ ਲਛਮਨਾ ਕ੝ਮਾਰ ॥ ਅਪਨੋ ਭਰਿ ਬਲ ਜ੝ੱਧ ਕਰ ਅਬ ਹੀ ਸੰਕ ਬਿਸਾਰਿ ॥੭੫੧॥
The boys said, "O Lakshman ! we shall not unfasten the horse, abandoning all your doubts you come forward to fight with all your might."751.
ਅਣਕਾ ਛੰਦ ॥
ANKA STANZA
ਲਛਮਨ ਗੱਜਿਯੋ ॥ ਬਡ ਧਨ੝ ਸਜਿਯੋ ॥ ਬਹ੝ ਸਰ ਛੋਰੇ ॥ ਜਣ ਘਣ ਓਰੇ ॥੭੫੨॥
Catching hold of his very huge bow Lakshman thundering like clouds, he showered a volley of arrows.752.
ਉਤ ਦਿਵ ਦੇਖੈ ॥ ਧਨ੝ ਧਨ੝ ਲੇਖੈ ॥ ਇਤ ਸਰ ਛੂਟੇ ॥ ਮਸ ਕਣ ਤੂਟੈ ॥੭੫੩॥
From the other side the gods are seeing the war and the sound of "Bravo, Bravo" is being heard. On this side the arrows are being discharged and bits of flesh are being chopped.753.
ਭਟ ਬਰ ਗਾਜਂ ॥ ਦ੝ੰਦਭ ਬਾਜੈ॥ ਸਰ ਬਰ ਛੋਰਂ ॥ ਮ੝ਖ ਨਹ ਮੋਰੈ ॥੭੫੪॥
The warriors are thundering, the drums are resounding, the arrows are being discharge, but still they are not retreating from the war-arena.754.
ਲਛਮਨ ਬਾਚ ਸਿਸ ਸੋ ॥
The speech of Lakshman addressed to the boys :
ਅਣਕਾ ਛੰਦ ॥
ANKA STANZA
ਸ੝ਰਿਣ ਸ੝ਰਿਣ ਲਰਕਾ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਕਰ੝ ਕਰਖਾ ॥ ਦੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਘੋਰਾ ॥ ਤ੝ਹਿ ਬਲਿ ਥੋਰਾ ॥੭੫੫॥
O boys! listen and do not wage the war, meet me while bringing the horse, because you have inadequate strength. 755.
ਹਠ ਤਜਿ ਅਈਝ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਸਮ੝ਹਈਝ ॥ ਮਿਲਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਮੋ ਕੋ ॥ ਡਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਤੋ ਕੋ ॥੭੫੬॥
Come after forsaking your persistence and do not confront me, have no fear, come and meet me."756.
ਸਿਸ ਨਹੀ ਮਾਨੀ ॥ ਅਤਿ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੀ ॥ ਗਹਿ ਧਨ੝ ਗਜਿਯੋ ॥ ਦ੝ ਪਗ ਨ ਭੱਜਿਯੋ ॥੭੫੭॥
The boys did not agree because they were proud their strength, they caught hold of their bows and roared and did not retrace even two steps.757.

The warriors fell in the battlefield being chopped into bits, as the limbs of the fighting soldiers were cut.759.
ਬਾਣਨ ਝੜਿ ਲਾਯੋ ॥ ਸਰਬ ਰਿਸਾਯੋ ॥ ਬਹ੝ ਅਰਿ ਮਾਰੇ ॥ ਡੀਲ ਡਰਾਰੇ ॥੭੬੦॥
The pools of blood waved with the shower of arrows; many enemies were killed and many were filled with fear.760.
