# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 180

**चौ०** 
> कैकेई भव तनु अनुरागे। पावँर प्रान अघाइ अभागे॥  
> जौं प्रिय बिरहँ प्रान प्रिय लागे। देखब सुनब बहुत अब आगे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लखन राम सिय कहुँ बनु दीन्हा। पठइ अमरपुर पति हित कीन्हा॥  
> लीन्ह बिधवपन अपजसु आपू। दीन्हेउ प्रजहि सोकु संतापू॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मोहि दीन्ह सुखु सुजसु सुराजू। कीन्ह कैकईं सब कर काजू॥  
> एहि तें मोर काह अब नीका। तेहि पर देन कहहु तुम्ह टीका॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> 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)

**दो०** 
> 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)
