Doha 285
लखि सनेह सुनि बचन बिनीता। जनकप्रिया गह पाय पुनीता॥ देबि उचित असि बिनय तुम्हारी। दसरथ घरिनि राम महतारी॥१॥
प्रभु अपने नीचहु आदरहीं। अगिनि धूम गिरि सिर तिनु धरहीं॥ सेवकु राउ करम मन बानी। सदा सहाय महेसु भवानी॥२॥
रउरे अंग जोगु जग को है। दीप सहाय कि दिनकर सोहै॥ रामु जाइ बनु करि सुर काजू। अचल अवधपुर करिहहिं राजू॥३॥
अमर नाग नर राम बाहुबल। सुख बसिहहिं अपनें अपनें थल॥ यह सब जागबलिक कहि राखा। देबि न होइ मुधा मुनि भाषा॥४॥
Meaning
Seeing her affection and hearing her polite words, Janaka’s beloved queen Sunayanā clasped Kausalyā’s holy feet. “Such modesty on your part, O venerable lady, is quite becoming of you, you being King Daśaratha’s spouse and Śrī Rāma’s mother. (1) “Great men treat with honour even the lowest of their servants: fire is crowned with smoke, while mountains bear grass on their tops. Our king is your servant in thought, word and deed; while the great Lord Śiva and His Consort Bhavānī are your constant benefactors. (2) “Who on this earth is worthy of serving as your auxiliary? Can an ordinary lamp ever pose with any grace as a helper of the sun? After serving the term of his exile in the woods and accomplishing the object of the gods, Śrī Rāma will reign peacefully and uninterruptedly at Ayodhyā. (3) “And protected by Śrī Rāma’s strength of arm, gods, Nāgas and human beings will dwell peacefully in their own abodes. This has all been predicted by sage Yājñavalkya and a sage’s prophesy, O noble Queen, can never go in vain (be untrue).” (4)
अस कहि पग परि पेम अति सिय हित बिनय सुनाइ। सिय समेत सियमातु तब चली सुआयसु पाइ॥२८५॥
Meaning
So saying she fell at Kausalyā’s feet with utmost affection and preferred her request for being allowed to take Sītā with her. And having received Kausalyā’s kind permission, Sītā’s mother now left for her camp with Sītā. (285)
