# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 145

**चौ०** 
> जिमि कुलीन तिय साधु सयानी। पतिदेवता करम मन बानी॥  
> रहै करम बस परिहरि नाहू। सचिव हृदयँ तिमि दारुन दाहू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लोचन सजल डीठि भइ थोरी। सुनइ न श्रवन बिकल मति भोरी॥  
> सूखहिं अधर लागि मुँह लाटी। जिउ न जाइ उर अवधि कपाटी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बिबरन भयउ न जाइ निहारी। मारेसि मनहुँ पिता महतारी॥  
> हानि गलानि बिपुल मन ब्यापी। जमपुर पंथ सोच जिमि पापी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> बचनु न आव हृदयँ पछिताई। अवध काह मैं देखब जाई॥  
> राम रहित रथ देखिहि जोई। सकुचिहि मोहि बिलोकत सोई॥४॥

Meaning: The minister felt in his heart agony as terrible as that of a virtuous and discreet lady of high birth who is devoted to her lord in thought, word and deed and who is compelled by evil destiny to live apart from her husband. (1)

His eyes were full of tears and lacking in vision, his ears deaf and his mind was agitated and confused. Nay, his lips were getting dry and his tongue had cleaved to the palate; yet his life-breath did not depart, the term of exile serving as a closed door to prevent its departure from his heart. (2)

He had turned pale and repelled the sight as if he had murdered his own father and mother. Great was the despondency which preyed upon his mind as a result of the loss he had just suffered; he looked like a sinner mourning while on his way to the abode of Death. (3)

Words failed him and he lamented within himself: “What shall I see on reaching Ayodhyā? Whoever shall find the chariot devoid of Śrī Rāma will shun my sight. (4)

**दो०** 
> धाइ पूँछिहहिं मोहि जब बिकल नगर नर नारि।  
> उतरु देब मैं सबहि तब हृदयँ बज्रु बैठारि॥१४५॥

Meaning: ‘When the agitated citizens run to make enquiries of me, I shall answer them all with a heavy load on my heart. (145)
