Doha 196
कपटी कायर कुमति कुजाती। लोक बेद बाहेर सब भाँती॥ राम कीन्ह आपन जबही तें। भयउँ भुवन भूषन तबही तें॥१॥
देखि प्रीति सुनि बिनय सुहाई। मिलेउ बहोरि भरत लघु भाई॥ कहि निषाद निज नाम सुबानीं। सादर सकल जोहारीं रानीं॥२॥
जानि लखन सम देहिं असीसा। जिअहु सुखी सय लाख बरीसा॥ निरखि निषादु नगर नर नारी। भए सुखी जनु लखनु निहारी॥३॥
कहहिं लहेउ एहिं जीवन लाहू। भेंटेउ रामभद्र भरि बाहू॥ सुनि निषादु निज भाग बड़ाई। प्रमुदित मन लइ चलेउ लेवाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Wicked, cowardly, evil-minded and low-born as I am and cast off from society as well as from the fold of the Vedas in everyway, I have become the ornament of the world ever since Śrī Rāma took me as his own.” (1) Seeing his affection and hearing his humble submission Bharata’s younger brother, Śatrughna, embraced him next. The Niṣāda chief then greeted all the dowager queens in polite and respectful terms, mentioning his name each time. (2) Treating him on the same footing as Lakṣmaṇa, they gave him their blessing: ‘May you live happily for millions of years.’ The men and women of the city were as glad to see the Niṣāda chief as if they had seen Lakṣmaṇa, (3) and said, “He has surely reaped the reward of his existence in that our beloved Śrī Rāma enfolded him in his arms.” Hearing them extol his good fortune, the Niṣāda chief led them along with a cheerful heart. (4)
सनकारे सेवक सकल चले स्वामि रुख पाइ। घर तरु तर सर बाग बन बास बनाएन्हि जाइ॥१९६॥
Meaning
Receiving a signal from him and learning their master’s will, all his attendants left; and reaching the residential quarters, the foot of trees, ponds, orchards and groves they made room for the guests to take up their lodging. (196)
