Doha 175
अवसि नरेस बचन फुर करहू। पालहु प्रजा सोकु परिहरहू॥ सुरपुर नृपु पाइहि परितोषू। तुम्ह कहुँ सुकृतु सुजसु नहिं दोषू॥१॥
बेद बिदित संमत सबही का। जेहि पितु देइ सो पावइ टीका॥ करहु राजु परिहरहु गलानी। मानहु मोर बचन हित जानी॥२॥
सुनि सुखु लहब राम बैदेहीं। अनुचित कहब न पंडित केहीं॥ कौसल्यादि सकल महतारीं। तेउ प्रजा सुख होहिं सुखारीं॥३॥
परम तुम्हार राम कर जानिहि। सो सब बिधि तुम्ह सन भल मानिहि॥ सौंपेहु राजु राम के आएँ। सेवा करेहु सनेह सुहाएँ॥४॥
Meaning
“Therefore, you need must redeem the king’s word; cherish your subjects and cease to grieve. The king in heaven will derive solace, while you will earn merit and good fame and shall incur no blame. (1) “It is well known in the Vedas and has the sanction of all that the crown goes to him on whom the father bestows it. Therefore, rule the kingdom, feel no remorse and accept my advice as salutary. (2) “Rāma and Jānakī will be gratified when they hear of it and no wise man will call it wrong. Kausalyā and all the other mothers too will be happy in the happiness of the people. (3) “Nay, he who will know the supreme affinity between you and Rāma, will have perfect goodwill towards you. When Rāma returns home you may hand over the kingdom to him and serve him with devout affection.” (4)
कीजिअ गुर आयसु अवसि कहहिं सचिव कर जोरि। रघुपति आएँ उचित जस तस तब करब बहोरि॥१७५॥
Meaning
The ministers submitted with folded hands: “You need must obey the order of your preceptor. When Śrī Rāma comes back, you may do what you think appropriate then.” (175)
