Doha 226
सकल सनेह सिथिल रघुबर कें। गए कोस दुइ दिनकर ढरकें॥ जलु थलु देखि बसे निसि बीतें। कीन्ह गवन रघुनाथ पिरीतें॥१॥
उहाँ रामु रजनी अवसेषा। जागे सीयँ सपन अस देखा॥ सहित समाज भरत जनु आए। नाथ बियोग ताप तन ताए॥२॥
सकल मलिन मन दीन दुखारी। देखीं सासु आन अनुहारी॥ सुनि सिय सपन भरे जल लोचन। भए सोचबस सोच बिमोचन॥३॥
लखन सपन यह नीक न होई। कठिन कुचाह सुनाइहि कोई॥ अस कहि बंधु समेत नहाने। पूजि पुरारि साधु सनमाने॥४॥
Meaning
Being all overpowered by love for Śrī Rāma, they had covered a distance of only four miles by the time the sun set. Perceiving a suitable site and water close by, they halted; at the close of night, Bharata, the beloved of Śrī Rāma, resumed the journey. (1) There Śrī Rāma awoke while it was yet dark. Sītā saw in a dream that very night as if Bharata had come with his retinue and that his body was tormented by the agony of separation from his lord. (2) All who had accompanied him were sad at heart, miserable and afflicted; while Her mothers-in-law She found changed in appearance. On hearing of Sītā’s dream Śrī Rāma’s eyes filled with tears and He who rids others of their sorrow became sorrowful. (3) “This dream, Lakṣmaṇa, bodes no good; somebody will break terribly bad news.” Saying so, He took His bath with His brother and worshipping Lord Śiva, the Enemy of Tripura, paid His respects to holy men. (4)
सनमानि सुर मुनि बंदि बैठे उतर दिसि देखत भए। नभ धूरि खग मृग भूरि भागे बिकल प्रभु आश्रम गए॥ तुलसी उठे अवलोकि कारनु काह चित सचकित रहे। सब समाचार किरात कोलन्हि आइ तेहि अवसर कहे॥
Meaning
After adoring the gods and reverencing the hermits He sat down gazing towards the north. There was dust in the air and a host of birds and beasts had taken to flight in panic and were making their way to the Lord’s hermitage. Says Tulasīdāsa: Śrī Rāma stood up when He saw this and wondered in his heart what could be the reason. Presently the Kolas and Kirātas came and told Him all the news.
सुनत सुमंगल बैन मन प्रमोद तन पुलक भर। सरद सरोरुह नैन तुलसी भरे सनेह जल॥२२६॥
Meaning
When He heard the delightful words He felt overjoyed at heart. A thrill ran through His body and His eyes, that resembled the autumnal lotus, says Tulasīdāsa, filled with the tears of affection. (226)
