NAMAMAHIMA Vs BANABALA

So ³Hanuma, you've determined to fight against your own Lord 
Whom you worshipped as ⁴Dharmavatar and served with faith implicit 
Tearing your chest open showed to the world that self-same Lord 
By giving ⁵abhayam to ⁶Yayati, you've defiled that faith implicit.

Why've you turned insincere and divested yourself of all honour 
Are you puffed up with ego for burning Lanka and killing demons ? 
Is it an instance of self-confidence crossing the bounds of honour 
Haven't you flouted all norms and outgrown in vices, the demons ?

Accept my obeisance first, O Lord of Lords and the Cosmos 
Then listen to my answers to the charges wild and baseless 
Not knowing what befell between the two leading to war useless 
I granted ⁷saranagati to Yayati, when sought my help in chaos.

Do you know my Lord my mental anguish on knowing the truth
Imagination feels clipped, and grief knows nothing in similitude
Description accepts defeat, if attempted to visualise it in sooth
All but due to WORD given in haste, yet bidding my promptitude
