Doha 14
कत सिख देइ हमहि कोउ माई। गालु करब केहि कर बलु पाई॥ रामहि छाड़ि कुसल केहि आजू। जेहि जनेसु देइ जुबराजू॥१॥
भयउ कौसिलहि बिधि अति दाहिन। देखत गरब रहत उर नाहिन॥ देखहु कस न जाइ सब सोभा। जो अवलोकि मोर मनु छोभा॥२॥
पूतु बिदेस न सोचु तुम्हारें। जानति हहु बस नाहु हमारें॥ नीद बहुत प्रिय सेज तुराई। लखहु न भूप कपट चतुराई॥३॥
सुनि प्रिय बचन मलिन मनु जानी। झुकी रानि अब रहु अरगानी॥ पुनि अस कबहुँ कहसि घरफोरी। तब धरि जीभ कढ़ावउँ तोरी॥४॥

(1) “Providence has turned most favourable to Kausalyā; seeing this, she cannot contain the pride in her bosom. Why not go and see for yourself all the splendour, the sight of which has agitated my mind? (2) “Your son is away; while you are complacent under the notion that your lord is under your thumb. You are excessively fond of sleeping on a cushioned bed and are unable to detect the deceitful cunning of the king.” (3) Hearing these sweet words, yet knowing her malicious mind, the queen irritatingly said, “Keep quiet now. If you ever speak thus again, expert as you are in sowing seeds of discord in a family, I will have your tongue pulled out. (4)
काने खोरे कूबरे कुटिल कुचाली जानि। तिय बिसेषि पुनि चेरि कहि भरतमातु मुसुकानि॥१४॥
Meaning
“The one-eyed, the lame and the hump-backed, know these to be perverse and wicked, more so if they come of the fair sex and particularly those belonging to the menial class!” said Bharata’s mother, Kaikeyī, and smiled. (14)
