Doha 234
जौं परिहरहिं मलिन मनु जानी। जौं सनमानहिं सेवकु मानी॥ मोरें सरन रामहि की पनही। राम सुस्वामि दोसु सब जनही॥१॥
जग जस भाजन चातक मीना। नेम पेम निज निपुन नबीना॥ अस मन गुनत चले मग जाता। सकुच सनेहँ सिथिल सब गाता॥२॥
फेरति मनहुँ मातु कृत खोरी। चलत भगति बल धीरज धोरी॥ जब समुझत रघुनाथ सुभाऊ। तब पथ परत उताइल पाऊ॥३॥
भरत दसा तेहि अवसर कैसी। जल प्रबाहँ जल अलि गति जैसी॥ देखि भरत कर सोचु सनेहू। भा निषाद तेहि समयँ बिदेहू॥४॥
Meaning
“Whether He shuns me as one possessing a vile heart or welcomes me as his own servant, Śrī Rāma’s sandals are my only refuge; he is really a noble master while the whole blame lies with this servant (i.e., myself). (1) “The only beings deserving of fame in the world are the Cātaka bird and the fish, who are steadfast in keeping ever fresh their vow of fidelity and love.” Revolving these thoughts in his mind he went on his journey, his whole body rendered powerless by bashfulness and deep affection. (2) The sinful act of his mother Kaikeyī pulled him back, as it were; while the strength of his devotion pressed him forward, foremost among the resolute as he was. Whenever he thought of Śrī Rāma’s good nature his feet moved quickly along the way. (3) Bharata’s gait at that time resembled the movements of a water-fly carried along a stream. Seeing Bharata’s anxiety and affection at that moment the Niṣāda chief forgot all about himself. (4)
लगे होन मंगल सगुन सुनि गुनि कहत निषादु। मिटिहि सोचु होइहि हरषु पुनि परिनाम बिषादु॥२३४॥
Meaning
Auspicious omens occurred and the Niṣāda chief after hearing of and reflecting on them said, “Anxiety will pass away giving place to delight; but in the end there will be sorrow.” (234)
