Doha 166
मुख प्रसन्न मन रंग न रोषू। सब कर सब बिधि करि परितोषू॥ चले बिपिन सुनि सिय सँग लागी। रहइ न राम चरन अनुरागी॥१॥
सुनतहिं लखनु चले उठि साथा। रहहिं न जतन किए रघुनाथा॥ तब रघुपति सबही सिरु नाई। चले संग सिय अरु लघु भाई॥२॥
रामु लखनु सिय बनहि सिधाए। गइउँ न संग न प्रान पठाए॥ यहु सबु भा इन्ह आँखिन्ह आगें। तउ न तजा तनु जीव अभागें॥३॥
मोहि न लाज निज नेहु निहारी। राम सरिस सुत मैं महतारी॥ जिऐ मरै भल भूपति जाना। मोर हृदय सत कुलिस समाना॥४॥
Meaning
“With a cheerful countenance, and without either joy or anger, he comforted all in every way and proceeded to the forest. Hearing this, Sītā followed him and would not stay, devoted as she was to Rāma’s feet. (1) “Lakṣmaṇa also, when he heard this, sprang up and accompanied them; he would not be left behind even though Śrī Raghunātha tried his best to detain him. Śrī Rāma then bowed his head to all and departed with Sītā and his younger brother Lakṣmaṇa. (2) “So Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā left for the woods, whereas I neither accompanied them nor sent my soul after them (leaving my body here). All this happened before these very eyes and yet this wretched soul did not take leave of the body. (3) “I am not ashamed of my love; to think that a son like Rāma should have a mother like me! The king knew well how to live and how to die; whereas my heart is a hundred times harder than adamant.” (4)
कौसल्या के बचन सुनि भरत सहित रनिवासु। ब्याकुल बिलपत राजगृह मानहुँ सोक नेवासु॥१६६॥
Meaning
Hearing Kausalyā’s words, Bharata and the whole gynaeceum wailed in distress; the king’s palace seemed to be the very abode of sorrow. (166)
