Doha 151
केवट कीन्हि बहुत सेवकाई। सो जामिनि सिंगरौर गवाँई॥ होत प्रात बट छीरु मगावा। जटा मुकुट निज सीस बनावा॥१॥
राम सखाँ तब नाव मगाई। प्रिया चढ़ाइ चढ़े रघुराई॥ लखन बान धनु धरे बनाई। आपु चढ़े प्रभु आयसु पाई॥२॥
बिकल बिलोकि मोहि रघुबीरा। बोले मधुर बचन धरि धीरा॥ तात प्रनामु तात सन कहेहू। बार बार पद पंकज गहेहू॥३॥
करबि पायँ परि बिनय बहोरी। तात करिअ जनि चिंता मोरी॥ बन मग मंगल कुसल हमारें। कृपा अनुग्रह पुन्य तुम्हारें॥४॥
Meaning
“The Niṣāda showed great hospitality; that night was spent near the village of Śṛṅgaverapura. At daybreak they sent for milk of the banyan tree and the two brothers coiled up their matted hair in the shape of a crown. (1) “Then Rāma’s friend Guha called for a boat and after helping Sītā to board it, Śrī Raghunātha followed suit. Lakṣmaṇa placed on it in an orderly way the two bows and quivers and himself boarded the boat on receiving the Lord’s command. (2) “Seeing my distress Śrī Rāma summoned up courage and addressed me in sweet accents: ‘Revered, convey my obeisances to dear father and clasp his lotus feet again and again. (3) ‘Then, falling at his feet submit to him thus: Father, be not worried on my account. By your grace and goodwill and as a reward of your meritorious deeds, my journey to and sojourn in the woods will be happy and full of blessings. (4)
तुम्हरें अनुग्रह तात कानन जात सब सुखु पाइहौं। प्रतिपालि आयसु कुसल देखन पाय पुनि फिरि आइहौं॥ जननीं सकल परितोषि परि परि पायँ करि बिनती घनी। तुलसी करेहु सोइ जतनु जेहिं कुसली रहहिं कोसलधनी॥
Meaning
‘By your grace, dear father, I shall have all sorts of comforts on my journey and having obeyed your commands shall come back safe to behold your lotus feet once more. Nay, consoling all my mothers fall at their feet again and again and with profuse entreaties make every effort—says Tulasīdāsa—to see that the lord of Ayodhyā (my father) passes his days happily.
गुर सन कहब सँदेसु बार बार पद पदुम गहि। करब सोइ उपदेसु जेहिं न सोच मोहि अवधपति॥१५१॥
Meaning
‘Clasping my preceptor’s lotus feet again and again, give him my message: Pray, so exhort the lord of Ayodhyā that he may no longer grieve on my account. (151)
