Doha 262
भूपति मरन पेम पनु राखी। जननी कुमति जगतु सबु साखी॥ देखि न जाहिं बिकल महतारीं। जरहिं दुसह जर पुर नर नारीं॥१॥
महीं सकल अनरथ कर मूला। सो सुनि समुझि सहिउँ सब सूला॥ सुनि बन गवनु कीन्ह रघुनाथा। करि मुनि बेष लखन सिय साथा॥२॥ बिनु पानहिन्ह पयादेहि पाएँ। संकरु साखि रहेउँ एहि घाएँ॥ बहुरि निहारि निषाद सनेहू। कुलिस कठिन उर भयउ न बेहू॥३॥
अब सबु आँखिन्ह देखेउँ आई। जिअत जीव जड़ सबइ सहाई॥ जिन्हहि निरखि मग साँपिनि बीछी। तजहिं बिषम बिषु तामस तीछी॥४॥
Meaning
“The whole world will bear witness, on the one hand,to the king having died as a result of his uncompromising love, and to my mother’s evil intent, on the other. The queen-mothers are in such distress that one cannot bear to look at them, while the men and women of the city are burning with deep agony. (1) “I have heard and realized that I am the root of all trouble and have accordingly endured all suffering. To crown all this, when I heard that clad in hermit’s robes and accompanied by Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, Śrī Raghunātha had proceeded to the woods on foot, (2) “and without sandals, Śaṅkara be my witness, I survived even that blow. On top of it, when I witnessed the Niṣāda’s love, my heart, which is harder than adamant, refused to break. (3) “And now I have seen all with my own eyes and so long as I live, my stupid self will subject me to all kinds of suffering. What shall I say of Śrī Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, at whose sight even snakes and scorpions on the road forget their virulent poison and irrepressible anger!” (4)
तेइ रघुनंदनु लखनु सिय अनहित लागे जाहि। तासु तनय तजि दुसह दुख दैउ सहावइ काहि॥२६२॥
Meaning
“On whom else, then, should Providence inflict severe pain if not on the son of Kaikeyī, who looked upon these very Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā as her enemies!” (262)
