Doha 180
कैकेई भव तनु अनुरागे। पावँर प्रान अघाइ अभागे॥ जौं प्रिय बिरहँ प्रान प्रिय लागे। देखब सुनब बहुत अब आगे॥१॥
लखन राम सिय कहुँ बनु दीन्हा। पठइ अमरपुर पति हित कीन्हा॥ लीन्ह बिधवपन अपजसु आपू। दीन्हेउ प्रजहि सोकु संतापू॥२॥
मोहि दीन्ह सुखु सुजसु सुराजू। कीन्ह कैकईं सब कर काजू॥ एहि तें मोर काह अब नीका। तेहि पर देन कहहु तुम्ह टीका॥३॥
कैकइ जठर जनमि जग माहीं। यह मोहि कहँ कछु अनुचित नाहीं॥ मोरि बात सब बिधिहिं बनाई। प्रजा पाँच कत करहु सहाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Clinging to this body born of Kaikeyī, my wretched life is exceedingly unfortunate. When life has been dear to me even though I have been torn away from my beloved brother, I shall have much to see and hear yet. (1) “Kaikeyī has sent Lakṣmaṇa, Śrī Rāma and Sītā into exile and has done a good turn to her husband by despatching him to the abode of immortals; she has taken widowhood and infamy upon herself and bestowed grief and affliction on the people. (2) “And to me she has allotted happiness, good reputation and a thriving kingdom; in this way she has served the interests of all. I cannot expect greater good than this at present; over and above that, you proclaim your intention to crown me king. (3) “Since I have been born into this world through Kaikeyī’s womb, this is not at all unbecoming of me. God Himself has accomplished everything for me; why then should you all as well as the people give a helping hand for my cause? (4)
ग्रह ग्रहीत पुनि बात बस तेहि पुनि बीछी मार। तेहि पिआइअ बारुनी कहहु काह उपचार॥१८०॥
Meaning
“If a man who is possessed by some evil spirit and is also affected by delirium and has been further stung by a scorpion is given a cup of wine, tell me, what kind of treatment is this? (180)
