Doha 207
यहउ कहत भल कहिहि न कोऊ। लोकु बेदु बुध संमत दोऊ॥ तात तुम्हार बिमल जसु गाई। पाइहि लोकउ बेदु बड़ाई॥१॥
लोक बेद संमत सबु कहई। जेहि पितु देइ राजु सो लहई॥ राउ सत्यब्रत तुम्हहि बोलाई। देत राजु सुखु धरमु बड़ाई॥२॥
राम गवनु बन अनरथ मूला। जो सुनि सकल बिस्व भइ सूला॥ सो भावी बस रानि अयानी। करि कुचालि अंतहुँ पछितानी॥३॥
तहँउँ तुम्हार अलप अपराधू। कहै सो अधम अयान असाधू॥ करतेहु राजु त तुम्हहि न दोषू। रामहि होत सुनत संतोषू॥४॥
Meaning
“Even if it is said so, nobody would speak well of it; for the wise take cognizance of worldly opinion as well as the judgment of the Vedas. By singing your unsullied glory, however, the world and the Vedas both will be exalted. (1) “The world as well as the Vedas admit it and everyone says that of king’s sons he alone gets the throne on whom his father bestows it. The king, who was, above all, true to his vow, would have called you and bestowed the kingdom on you; and this would have brought him joy, religious merit and glory. (2) “But the root of all trouble was Rāma’s exile to the forest and the whole world was extremely pained to hear of it. It was, however, as fate would have it; much as the foolish queen Kaikeyī did wrong, she now repents over it. (3) “But he who lays the least blame for it on you is vile, ignorant and wicked. Even if you had accepted the Kingship, no blame would have attached to you and even Rāma would have been happy to hear of it. (4)
अब अति कीन्हेहु भरत भल तुम्हहि उचित मत एहु। सकल सुमंगल मूल जग रघुबर चरन सनेहु॥२०७॥
Meaning
“But what you have done now is excellent; your standpoint is quite justified. For devotion to Śrī Rāma’s feet is the root of all choice blessings in the world; (207)
