Lanka Kand Verse 47

लंकाकाण्ड · अंगद-दूत-प्रसंग
Verse · मूल पाठ (Devanagari)
भूमि न छाँडत कपि चरन देखत रिपु मद भाग ॥
कोटि बिघ्न ते संत कर मन जिमि नीति न त्याग ॥ ३४(ख) ॥
Roman (IAST)
bhūmi na chā~ḍata kapi carana dekhata ripu mada bhāga ||
koṭi bighna te saṃta kara mana jimi nīti na tyāga || 34(kha) ||
Simple transliteration
bhumi na cha~data kapi carana dekhata ripu mada bhaga 
koti bighna te samta kara mana jimi niti na tyaga  34(kha) 
Meaning (English)

Angad's foot does not leave the ground, and the sight of this drains away the pride of all his foes — just as a saintly man's mind does not abandon righteous conduct even when assailed by a million obstacles. The simile captures both the steadfastness of Angad's foot and the moral steadfastness of the devoted.

Meaning (Hindi) · भावार्थ

वानर अंगद का चरण पृथ्वी नहीं छोड़ता और यह देखते ही शत्रुओं का मद (घमंड) भाग जाता है — ठीक वैसे जैसे करोड़ों विघ्नों के आने पर भी संतों का मन नीति का साथ नहीं छोड़ता।
