Doha 150
पुनि पुनि पूँछत मंत्रिहि राऊ। प्रियतम सुअन सँदेस सुनाऊ॥ करहि सखा सोइ बेगि उपाऊ। रामु लखनु सिय नयन देखाऊ॥१॥
सचिव धीर धरि कह मृदु बानी। महाराज तुम्ह पंडित ग्यानी॥ बीर सुधीर धुरंधर देवा। साधु समाजु सदा तुम्ह सेवा॥२॥
जनम मरन सब दुख सुख भोगा। हानि लाभु प्रिय मिलन बियोगा॥ काल करम बस होहिं गोसाईं। बरबस राति दिवस की नाईं॥३॥
सुख हरषहिं जड़ दुख बिलखाहीं। दोउ सम धीर धरहिं मन माहीं॥ धीरज धरहु बिबेकु बिचारी। छाड़िअ सोच सकल हितकारी॥४॥
Meaning
Again and again the king asked the minister: “Communicate to me the news of my most beloved sons. Quickly contrive, my friend, some means whereby you may be able to bring before my eyes Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā.” (1) Recovering himself the minister gently replied, “Your Majesty is learned and wise. Nay, you are a leader of the brave and courageous, my lord, and have always attended congregations of holy men. (2) “Birth and death, all painful and pleasurable experiences, loss and gain, union with and separation from friends—all these, my lord, take place under the unalterable laws of time and destiny like the succession of night and day. (3) “Fools rejoice in prosperity and mourn in adversity; while the wise account both alike. Therefore, exercising your mature judgment, take up courage and cease sorrowing, O, the benefactor of all! (4)
प्रथम बासु तमसा भयउ दूसर सुरसरि तीर। न्हाइ रहे जलपानु करि सिय समेत दोउ बीर॥१५०॥
Meaning
“Their first halt was made by the side of the Tamasā and the next on the bank of the celestial river Gaṅgā. Having bathed and drunk water, Sītā and the two brothers remained on water alone that day. (150)
