# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 181

**चौ०** 
> कैकइ सुअन जोगु जग जोई। चतुर बिरंचि दीन्ह मोहि सोई॥  
> दसरथ तनय राम लघु भाई। दीन्हि मोहि बिधि बादि बड़ाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> तुम्ह सब कहहु कढ़ावन टीका। राय रजायसु सब कहँ नीका॥  
> उतरु देउँ केहि बिधि केहि केही। कहहु सुखेन जथा रुचि जेही॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मोहि कुमातु समेत बिहाई। कहहु कहिहि के कीन्ह भलाई॥  
> मो बिनु को सचराचर माहीं। जेहि सिय रामु प्रानप्रिय नाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> परम हानि सब कहँ बड़ लाहू। अदिनु मोर नहिं दूषन काहू॥  
> संसय सील प्रेम बस अहहू। सबुइ उचित सब जो कछु कहहू॥४॥

Meaning: “God in His wisdom has ordained for me everything in this world that is worthy of Kaikeyī’s son. He has, however, bestowed on me in vain the honour of being a son of king Daśaratha and a younger brother of Śrī Rāma. (1)

“All of you urge me to accept the throne and the king’s command is good for all. How shall I answer all individually? Let everyone gladly say whatever one pleases. (2)

“Barring me and my vile mother, tell me, who will say that the right thing has been done? Except myself who is there in the whole animate and inanimate creation that does not love Sītā and Śrī Rāma as one’s own life? (3)

“What is most baneful appears to you all as a mighty gain; this is my misfortune and none is to be blamed for it. You are in the grip of doubt, amiability and affection; and whatever you all say is right. (4)

**दो०** 
> राम मातु सुठि सरलचित मो पर प्रेमु बिसेषि।  
> कहइ सुभाय सनेह बस मोरि दीनता देखि॥१८१॥

Meaning: “Śrī Rāma’s mother (Kausalyā) is most guileless of heart and loves me in a special degree. Finding me in distress she has said all this under impulse of natural affection. (181)
