# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 192

**चौ०** 
> राम प्रताप नाथ बल तोरे। करहिं कटकु बिनु भट बिनु घोरे॥  
> जीवत पाउ न पाछें धरहीं। रुंड मुंडमय मेदिनि करहीं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> दीख निषादनाथ भल टोलू। कहेउ बजाउ जुझाऊ ढोलू॥  
> एतना कहत छींक भइ बाँए। कहेउ सगुनिअन्ह खेत सुहाए॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बूढ़ु एकु कह सगुन बिचारी। भरतहि मिलिअ न होइहि रारी॥  
> रामहि भरतु मनावन जाहीं। सगुन कहइ अस बिग्रहु नाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि गुह कहइ नीक कह बूढ़ा। सहसा करि पछिताहिं बिमूढ़ा॥  
> भरत सुभाउ सीलु बिनु बूझें। बड़ि हित हानि जानि बिनु जूझें॥४॥

Meaning: “Through the majesty of Śrī Rāma and by your might, my lord, we shall exterminate all the warriors and horses in the enemy’s ranks. We shall never retrace our steps so long as there is life in us; nay, we shall strew the earth with the trunks and heads (of warriors of the enemy) !” (1)

The Niṣāda chief saw that he had a good band of warriors and exclaimed, “Beat the martial drum.” Even as he said so, someone sneezed on the left. The soothsayer said, “The sneeze has come from an auspicious quarter! (The result will be a happy one.)” (2)

An old man thought over the meaning of the omen and exclaimed, “You may go and meet Bharata; there will be no conflict. Bharata is out to persuade Śrī Rāma to return. The omen tells us that there is no discord.” (3)

On hearing this Guha said, “The old man says aright. Fools act precipitately and then repent. If we come to a clash without knowing Bharata’s intentions and ascertaining his temper and disposition, we shall be doing much harm to our own cause. (4)

**दो०** 
> गहहु घाट भट समिटि सब लेउँ मरम मिलि जाइ।  
> बूझि मित्र अरि मध्य गति तस तब करिहउँ आइ॥१९२॥

Meaning: “Close up, all my warriors, and blockade the Ghāṭas till I meet Bharata and find out what is in his mind. When I have ascertained whether he is of friendly, hostile or neutral disposition, I shall act accordingly after that. (192)
