Doha 152
पुरजन परिजन सकल निहोरी। तात सुनाएहु बिनती मोरी॥ सोइ सब भाँति मोर हितकारी। जातें रह नरनाहु सुखारी॥१॥
कहब सँदेसु भरत के आएँ। नीति न तजिअ राजपदु पाएँ॥ पालेहु प्रजहि करम मन बानी। सेएहु मातु सकल सम जानी॥२॥
ओर निबाहेहु भायप भाई। करि पितु मातु सुजन सेवकाई॥ तात भाँति तेहि राखब राऊ। सोच मोर जेहिं करै न काऊ॥३॥
लखन कहे कछु बचन कठोरा। बरजि राम पुनि मोहि निहोरा॥ बार बार निज सपथ देवाई। कहबि न तात लखन लरिकाई॥४॥
Meaning
‘Humbly approaching all the citizens and all my people, convey to them my submission: He alone is my well-wisher in every way, who ensures the king’s happiness. (1) ‘Again, when Bharata comes, give him my message: ‘Abandon not the path of rectitude on assuming the office of Regent. Cherish your subjects in thought, word and deed and serve your mothers treating them all alike. (2) ‘Again, brother, vindicate your brotherliness till the end by serving our parents and kinsmen. And last but not the least, look after the king in such a way that he may never grieve on my account.’ (3) “Here Lakṣmaṇa interposed some harsh words, but Rāma checked him and then entreated me adjuring me by himself again and again, ‘Make no mention, dear sir, of Lakṣmaṇa’s childishness’. (4)
कहि प्रनामु कछु कहन लिय सिय भइ सिथिल सनेह। थकित बचन लोचन सजल पुलक पल्लवित देह॥१५२॥
Meaning
“Sending her salutations, Sītā was about to say something but was too overwhelmed with emotion. Her voice failed, her eyes filled with tears and a thrill ran through her body. (152)
