Doha 256

चौ०

तात बात फुरि राम कृपाहीं। राम बिमुख सिधि सपनेहुँ नाहीं॥ सकुचउँ तात कहत एक बाता। अरध तजहिं बुध सरबस जाता॥१॥

चौ०

तुम्ह कानन गवनहु दोउ भाई। फेरिअहिं लखन सीय रघुराई॥ सुनि सुबचन हरषे दोउ भ्राता। भे प्रमोद परिपूरन गाता॥२॥

चौ०

मन प्रसन्न तन तेजु बिराजा। जनु जिय राउ रामु भए राजा॥ बहुत लाभ लोगन्ह लघु हानी। सम दुख सुख सब रोवहिं रानी॥३॥

चौ०

कहहिं भरतु मुनि कहा सो कीन्हे। फलु जग जीवन्ह अभिमत दीन्हे॥ कानन करउँ जनम भरि बासू। एहि तें अधिक न मोर सुपासू॥४॥

Meaning

“What you have said is no doubt true, my child; but it is all due to Śrī Rāma’s grace. He who is hostile to Rāma can never dream of success. I hesitate to tell you one thing: the wise forgo one-half when they find the whole in peril. (1) “You two brothers, Śatrughna and yourself, retire to the woods; while Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā and Śrī Raghunātha may be sent back.” The two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, were delighted to hear these agreeable words; their whole bodies were filled with exultation. (2) They were pleased at heart and a glow irradiated their bodies as though King Daśaratha had come to life again and Śrī Rāma had been crowned king. The people thought they would gain much while their loss would be comparatively low. The queen-mothers, however, all wept because their joy and sorrow were equal. (3) “By obeying the Guru’s commands,” Bharata observed, “one would attain the fruit of gratifying all the creatures of the world. I will stay all my life in the forest; I conceive of no greater happiness than this. (4)

दो०

अंतरजामी रामु सिय तुम्ह सरबग्य सुजान। जौं फुर कहहु त नाथ निज कीजिअ बचनु प्रवान॥२५६॥

Meaning

“Śrī Rāma and Sītā have access to all hearts, while you are omniscient and wise. If what you say is true, then redeem your word, my lord.” (256)
