# Aranya Kand · Doha 37b

**चौ०** 
> चले राम त्यागा बन सोऊ। अतुलित बल नर केहरि दोऊ॥  
> बिरही इव प्रभु करत बिषादा। कहत कथा अनेक संबादा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लछिमन देखु बिपिन कइ सोभा। देखत केहि कर मन नहिं छोभा॥  
> नारि सहित सब खग मृग बृंदा। मानहुँ मोरि करत हहिं निंदा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> हमहि देखि मृग निकर पराहीं। मृगीं कहहिं तुम्ह कहँ भय नाहीं॥  
> तुम्ह आनंद करहु मृग जाए। कंचन मृग खोजन ए आए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> संग लाइ करिनीं करि लेहीं। मानहुँ मोहि सिखावनु देहीं॥  
> सास्त्र सुचिंतित पुनि पुनि देखिअ। भूप सुसेवित बस नहिं लेखिअ॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> राखिअ नारि जदपि उर माहीं। जुबती सास्त्र नृपति बस नाहीं॥  
> देखहु तात बसंत सुहावा। प्रिया हीन मोहि भय उपजावा॥५॥

Meaning: Śrī Rāma left even that forest and proceeded further. The two brothers were lions among men and possessed immeasurable strength. The Lord lamenting like one smitten with pangs of separation, narrated several episodes and conversed with Lakṣmaṇa. (1)

“Lakṣmaṇa, mark the beauty of the forest; whose heart will not be stirred at its sight? United with their mates all the swarms of birds and herds of deer are reproaching me, as it were. (2)

“When the bucks see me and scamper away (in fear), their mates would stop them saying, ‘You have nothing to fear; you may enjoy yourselves at will, O progeny of deer; He has come in search of a golden deer’. (3)

“The elephants would take their mates alongwith them as if to teach me a lesson (that a man should never leave his wife alone). The sacred lore, however thoroughly studied, must be gone through over and over again: a king, however well-served, should never be thought of as held under one’s sway. (4)

“And a woman, even though you may cherish her in your heart, the scriptures and the king are never thoroughly mastered. See, brother, how pleasant the spring is; yet to me, bereft of my beloved, it is so frightful. (5)

**दो०** 
> बिरह बिकल बलहीन मोहि जानेसि निपट अकेल।  
> सहित बिपिन मधुकर खग मदन कीन्ह बगमेल॥३७ (क)॥

**दो०** 
> देखि गयउ भ्राता सहित तासु दूत सुनि बात।  
> डेरा कीन्हेउ मनहुँ तब कटकु हटकि मनजात॥३७ (ख)॥

Meaning: “When the god of love found me tormented by separation, languishing and all alone, he rushed against me with the verdant forest, bees and birds for his army. (37 A)

“His spy (the wind), however, has seen me with my brother and on his report the mind-born Cupid has held up his advancing army and besieged me, as it were. (37 B)
