# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 201

**चौ०** 
> राम सुना दुखु कान न काऊ। जीवनतरु जिमि जोगवइ राऊ॥  
> पलक नयन फनि मनि जेहि भाँती। जोगवहिं जननि सकल दिन राती॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> ते अब फिरत बिपिन पदचारी। कंद मूल फल फूल अहारी॥  
> धिग कैकई अमंगल मूला। भइसि प्रान प्रियतम प्रतिकूला॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मैं धिग धिग अघ उदधि अभागी। सबु उतपातु भयउ जेहि लागी॥  
> कुल कलंकु करि सृजेउ बिधाताँ। साइँदोह मोहि कीन्ह कुमाताँ॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि सप्रेम समुझाव निषादू। नाथ करिअ कत बादि बिषादू॥  
> राम तुम्हहि प्रिय तुम्ह प्रिय रामहि। यह निरजोसु दोसु बिधि बामहि॥४॥

Meaning: “Śrī Rāma had never heard any mention of sorrow; the king (our father) tended him like the tree of life. Nay, all the mothers cherished him day and night even as the eyelids protect the eyes or a serpent guards the gem on its head. (1)

“The same Rāma now wanders through the forest on foot, living on bulbs, roots, fruits and flowers. Accursed is Kaikeyī (my mother), the root of evil, who turned hostile to her own husband, who was the dearest object of her life. (2)

“And twice accursed is my own wretched self, the ocean of sin and the cause of all turbulence. While God created me as a blot on my family, my wicked mother has made me the enemy of my master.” (3)

Hearing this the Niṣāda chief lovingly comforted him: “Why should you lament in vain? Śrī Rāma is dear to you, and you are dear to Śrī Rāma: this is a settled fact and the blame rests with an adverse fate. (4)

**छं०** 
> बिधि बाम की करनी कठिन जेहिं मातु कीन्ही बावरी।  
> तेहि राति पुनि पुनि करहिं प्रभु सादर सरहना रावरी॥  
> तुलसी न तुम्ह सो राम प्रीतमु कहतु हौं सौंहें किएँ।  
> परिनाम मंगल जानि अपने आनिए धीरजु हिएँ॥

Meaning: “Cruel indeed are the doings of an adverse fate, which drove mother Kaikeyī mad. The Lord reverently praised you again and again that night. There is no one, says Tulasīdāsa, so supremely dear to Śrī Rāma as you are: I declare this on oath. Therefore, be assured that all will be well in the end; knowing this, take courage in your heart.

**सो०** 
> अंतरजामी रामु सकुच सप्रेम कृपायतन।  
> चलिअ करिअ बिश्रामु यह बिचारि दृढ़ आनि मन॥२०१॥

Meaning: “Śrī Rāma knows the heart of all; nay, He is an embodiment of tenderness, affection and compassion. Considering this and summoning courage in your heart, please go and take rest.” (201)
