Doha 15
प्रियबादिनि सिख दीन्हिउँ तोही। सपनेहुँ तो पर कोपु न मोही॥ सुदिनु सुमंगल दायकु सोई। तोर कहा फुर जेहि दिन होई॥१॥
जेठ स्वामि सेवक लघु भाई। यह दिनकर कुल रीति सुहाई॥ राम तिलकु जौं साँचेहुँ काली। देउँ मागु मन भावत आली॥२॥
कौसल्या सम सब महतारी। रामहि सहज सुभायँ पिआरी॥ मो पर करहिं सनेहु बिसेषी। मैं करि प्रीति परीछा देखी॥३॥
जौं बिधि जनमु देइ करि छोहू। होहुँ राम सिय पूत पुतोहू॥ प्रान तें अधिक रामु प्रिय मोरें। तिन्ह कें तिलक छोभु कस तोरें॥४॥
Meaning
“O sweet-tongued girl, I have said all this to you by way of advice; otherwise I cannot even dream of being angry with you. That day alone will be auspicious and a bestower of good fortune, when your words will come to be true. (1) “The eldest brother should be the lord and the younger ones his followers: such is the blessed custom prevailing in the solar race. If Śrī Rāma’s coronation is really taking place tomorrow, ask of me, dear one, whatever pleases your mind and I will grant it. (2) “By His innate disposition Rāma loves all his mothers as dearly as He does Kausalyā. He is particularly fond of me; I have had occasions to test the veracity of His love. (3) “Should God in His mercy vouchsafe to me a human birth again, may Rāma and Sītā be my son and daughter-in-law. Rāma is dearer to me than my life; how is it that you have got perturbed at the news of his coronation? (4)
भरत सपथ तोहि सत्य कहु परिहरि कपट दुराउ। हरष समय बिसमउ करसि कारन मोहि सुनाउ॥१५॥
Meaning
“I adjure you in Bharata’s name to tell me the truth putting away all deceit and reservation. Let me know the reason why you should grieve on an occasion of rejoicing.” (15)
