Dhanu tore hai Raam Gosain
Breaking Shiva’s bow — Janakpur
Lyrics
Tek
Dhanu tore hai Raam Gosain
Lord Ram has broken the bow
Janakpur aai
Coming to Janakpur
Pad
Torav suni Parashuraam ji
Hearing the crash, Parashuram came among the kings
Aaye raaja samaajaa
Bhrigu’s descendant’s anger rose like fire
Bhrigu Var kopa kihe bahu bidhi sama
Who dared break the bow?
Kina dhanva tori bahaai
Coming to Janakpur
Janakpur aai
All kings grew anxious; Janak worried
Sab raaja byaakul bhai bhaari
Sita became deeply distressed
Janak soch aadhikaari
As if fate itself had gone wrong
Byaakul bhai Sita ati dukhit vidhi
Coming to Janakpur
Maano bani baat bigraai
Janakpur aai
Lakshman spoke boldly to Parashuram
We have broken many bows —
Bolen bachan Lakhan bhrigu var se
Why does the Lord never show such rage?
Paani saroruh jori
Coming to Janakpur
Bahut dhanush toral hamra aur
Prabhu ka bahun na asa ris laai
After much debate Parashuram went to the forest
Janakpur aai
He gave Ram the bow blessed by Durga
Then Ram won Janaki
Bahu prashanottar bhayo Lakhan se
Coming to Janakpur
Bhrigu Var gai van maahin
Durga Prasaad dhanush dinhe uni j
Puni Raam Jaanaki paai
Janakpur aai
