# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 140

**चौ०** 
> राम संग सिय रहति सुखारी। पुर परिजन गृह सुरति बिसारी॥  
> छिनु छिनु पिय बिधु बदनु निहारी। प्रमुदित मनहुँ चकोरकुमारी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> नाह नेहु नित बढ़त बिलोकी। हरषित रहति दिवस जिमि कोकी॥  
> सिय मनु राम चरन अनुरागा। अवध सहस सम बनु प्रिय लागा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> परनकुटी प्रिय प्रियतम संगा। प्रिय परिवारु कुरंग बिहंगा॥  
> सासु ससुर सम मुनितिय मुनिबर। असनु अमिअ सम कंद मूल फर॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> नाथ साथ साँथरी सुहाई। मयन सयन सय सम सुखदाई॥  
> लोकप होहिं बिलोकत जासू। तेहि कि मोहि सक बिषय बिलासू॥४॥

Meaning: In Śrī Rāma’s company Sītā lived a happy life, forgetting Ayodhyā, her family and home. Ever watching the moonlike face of Her beloved lord, She was extremely happy like the young of a Cakora bird. (1)

Finding Her lord’s affection grow from day to day, She remained happy as a Cakravāka bird during the day. Her mind was so enamoured of Śrī Rāma’s feet that the forest appeared to Her as appealing as a thousand Ayodhyās. (2)

Lovely was the hut of leaves in the company of Her most beloved lord, while fawns and birds constituted Her beloved family. The holy hermits appeared to Her as Her own fathers-in-law and their spouses as Her mothers-in-law; while Her diet consisting of bulbs, roots and fruits tasted like ambrosia. (3)

Shared with Her spouse, even the lovely litter of grass and leaves delighted Her as hundreds of Cupids’ own beds. Can the charm of sensuous enjoyments ever enchant Her whose very look confers the sovereignty of a sphere! (4)

**दो०** 
> सुमिरत रामहि तजहिं जन तृन सम बिषय बिलासु।  
> रामप्रिया जग जननि सिय कछु न आचरजु तासु॥१४०॥

Meaning: Fixing their thoughts on Śrī Rāma, His devotees spurn the sensual pleasures as worth no more than a piece of straw. It is no wonder, then, in the case of Sītā, Śrī Rāma’s beloved Consort and the Mother of the universe (that she gives up such sensual pleasures). (140)
