# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 211

**चौ०** 
> मुनि समाजु अरु तीरथराजू। साँचिहुँ सपथ अघाइ अकाजू॥  
> एहिं थल जौं किछु कहिअ बनाई। एहि सम अधिक न अघ अधमाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> तुम्ह सर्बग्य कहउँ सतिभाऊ। उर अंतरजामी रघुराऊ॥  
> मोहि न मातु करतब कर सोचू। नहिं दुखु जियँ जगु जानिहि पोचू॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> नाहिन डरु बिगरिहि परलोकू। पितहु मरन कर मोहि न सोकू॥  
> सुकृत सुजस भरि भुअन सुहाए। लछिमन राम सरिस सुत पाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> राम बिरहँ तजि तनु छनभंगू। भूप सोच कर कवन प्रसंगू॥  
> राम लखन सिय बिनु पग पनहीं। करि मुनि बेष फिरहिं बन बनहीं॥४॥

Meaning: “Here is an assembly of sages and we stand at a place which is known as the king of sacred places. Great harm will come to a man if he states even a fact on oath at such a place. And if one tells a lie, there can be no greater sin and depravity. (1)

“I speak out the truth knowing as I do that you are all-wise, while Śrī Rāma has access to the inmost recesses of one’s heart. I am not at all sorry for what my mother has done nor am I troubled at heart over the thought that the world will look upon me as mean. (2)

“I fear not lest I should spoil my after-life (future life) nor do I grieve over my father’s death, whose meritorious deeds and fair renown shine forth throughout the universe, who had sons like Lakṣmaṇa and Śrī Rāma, (3)

“and who gave up his ephemeral body consequent to his separation from Śrī Rāma. Thus there is hardly any occasion for lamentation on his account. What pains me is that dressing themselves as hermits Śrī Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā roam from forest to forest without even sandals on their feet. (4)

**दो०** 
> अजिन बसन फल असन महि सयन डासि कुस पात।  
> बसि तरु तर नित सहत हिम आतप बरषा बात॥२११॥

Meaning: “Clad in deerskin, living on bare fruits, reposing on the ground overspread with Kuśa grass and leaves, and halting under trees, they ever endure cold and scorching sun, rain and strong wind! (211)
