Doha 112
पुनि सियँ राम लखन कर जोरी। जमुनहि कीन्ह प्रनामु बहोरी॥ चले ससीय मुदित दोउ भाई। रबितनुजा कइ करत बड़ाई॥१॥
पथिक अनेक मिलहिं मग जाता। कहहिं सप्रेम देखि दोउ भ्राता॥ राज लखन सब अंग तुम्हारें। देखि सोचु अति हृदय हमारें॥२॥
मारग चलहु पयादेहि पाएँ। ज्योतिषु झूठ हमारें भाएँ॥ अगमु पंथु गिरि कानन भारी। तेहि महँ साथ नारि सुकुमारी॥३॥
करि केहरि बन जाइ न जोई। हम सँग चलहिं जो आयसु होई॥ जाब जहाँ लगि तहँ पहुँचाई। फिरब बहोरि तुम्हहि सिरु नाई॥४॥
Meaning
Then with folded hands Sītā, Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa again made obeisance to the Yamunā. Accompanied by Sītā, the two brothers gladly proceeded further, extolling the daughter of the sun-god, Yamunā, as they went. (1) Many a traveller met them on the way and beholding the two brothers they fondly exclaimed: “Finding all the marks of royalty on your person, we are sore distressed at heart. (2) “When you wend your way on foot, the precepts of astrology (which tell us that men possessing such and such features should always be borne on some vehicle) are misleading, we feel. The road is difficult and lies through big mountains and deep forests. On top of it, you have a delicate young lady with you. (3) “Infested with elephants and lions, the forest is too terrible to look at. We are ready to accompany you if you enjoin us to do so. We will escort you as far as you go and will then return bowing our heads to you.” (4)
एहि बिधि पूँछहिं प्रेम बस पुलक गात जलु नैन। कृपासिंधु फेरहिं तिन्हहि कहि बिनीत मृदु बैन॥११२॥
Meaning
In this way they offered their services, overwhelmed as they were with love; a thrill of joy ran through their bodies and tears came to their eyes. The all-merciful Lord, however, bade them with polite and gentle words to go. (112)
