# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 141

**चौ०** 
> सीय लखन जेहि बिधि सुखु लहहीं। सोइ रघुनाथ करहिं सोइ कहहीं॥  
> कहहिं पुरातन कथा कहानी। सुनहिं लखनु सिय अति सुखु मानी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जब जब रामु अवध सुधि करहीं। तब तब बारि बिलोचन भरहीं॥  
> सुमिरि मातु पितु परिजन भाई। भरत सनेहु सीलु सेवकाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कृपासिंधु प्रभु होहिं दुखारी। धीरजु धरहिं कुसमउ बिचारी॥  
> लखि सिय लखनु बिकल होइ जाहीं। जिमि पुरुषहि अनुसर परिछाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> प्रिया बंधु गति लखि रघुनंदनु। धीर कृपाल भगत उर चंदनु॥  
> लगे कहन कछु कथा पुनीता। सुनि सुखु लहहिं लखनु अरु सीता॥४॥

Meaning: Śrī Raghunātha would do and say only that which would please Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa. He would narrate old legends and stories, to which Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā would listen with great delight. (1)

Every time Śrī Rāma thought of Ayodhyā, His eyes were filled with tears. When He recalled His father and mother, His family and brothers and particularly the affection, amiability and devotion of Bharata, (2)

the gracious Lord Śrī Rāma became sad, but He recovered Himself when He realized that the time was not propitious. Perceiving this, Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa felt distressed even as the shadow of a man moves just like him. (3)

Perceiving the condition of His beloved Consort and brother Lakṣmaṇa, the self-possessed and compassionate Śrī Rāma, the Delighter of Raghus and the Soother of His devotees’ heart, began to narrate some sacred legends, hearing which Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā felt relieved. (4)

**दो०** 
> रामु लखन सीता सहित सोहत परन निकेत।  
> जिमि बासव बस अमरपुर सची जयंत समेत॥१४१॥

Meaning: Alongwith Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, Śrī Rāma looked graceful in His hut of leaves even as Indra, who dwells in the city of immortals with his spouse, Śaci, and son, Jayanta. (141)
