Doha 161
बिकल बिलोकि सुतहि समुझावति। मनहुँ जरे पर लोनु लगावति॥ तात राउ नहिं सोचै जोगू। बिढ़इ सुकृत जसु कीन्हेउ भोगू॥१॥
जीवत सकल जनम फल पाए। अंत अमरपति सदन सिधाए॥ अस अनुमानि सोच परिहरहू। सहित समाज राज पुर करहू॥२॥
सुनि सुठि सहमेउ राजकुमारू। पाकें छत जनु लाग अँगारू॥ धीरज धरि भरि लेहिं उसासा। पापिनि सबहि भाँति कुल नासा॥३॥
जौं पै कुरुचि रही अति तोही। जनमत काहे न मारे मोही॥ पेड़ काटि तैं पालउ सींचा। मीन जिअन निति बारि उलीचा॥४॥
Meaning
Observing his son’s distress she comforted him like one who applied salt to a burn. “The king, my son, is not fit for lamentation. He not only reaped a rich harvest of merit and renown but enjoyed life also. (1) “During his life-time he obtained all the rewards of human existence and in the end ascended to the abode of Indra (the lord of immortals). Pondering thus, cease sorrowing and rule the kingdom with all its limbs (such as the army, the exchequer, the ministers and so on).” (2) The prince was utterly dismayed to hear these words as though a festering sore had been touched by a live coal. Recovering himself he heaved a deep sigh and said, “O wicked woman, you have brought complete ruin to our family. (3) “If you bore such deep malice, why did you not kill me as soon as I was born? Cutting down the tree you have watered a leaf and you have drained the pond for keeping the fish alive. (4)
हंसबंसु दसरथु जनकु राम लखन से भाइ। जननी तूँ जननी भई बिधि सन कछु न बसाइ॥१६१॥
Meaning
“Claiming my descent from the sun-god, with King Daśaratha for my father and Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa for my brothers, I have had you, mother, for my birth-giving mother! One is so helpless against Providence. (161)
