Doha 305
जानहु तात तरनि कुल रीती। सत्यसंध पितु कीरति प्रीती॥ समउ समाजु लाज गुरजन की। उदासीन हित अनहित मन की॥१॥
तुम्हहि बिदित सबही कर करमू। आपन मोर परम हित धरमू॥ मोहि सब भाँति भरोस तुम्हारा। तदपि कहउँ अवसर अनुसारा॥२॥
तात तात बिनु बात हमारी। केवल गुरकुल कृपाँ संँभारी॥ नतरु प्रजा परिजन परिवारू। हमहि सहित सबु होत खुआरू॥३॥
जौं बिनु अवसर अथवँ दिनेसू। जग केहि कहहु न होइ कलेसू॥ तस उतपातु तात बिधि कीन्हा। मुनि मिथिलेस राखि सबु लीन्हा॥४॥
Meaning
“You are conversant, dear brother, with the traditions of the solar race, and know how truthful and how fond of good repute our father was. You are also alive to the gravity of the occasion, the circumstances in which we are placed and the consideration we should have for the feelings of our elders and further know the mind of your friends, foes and neutrals. (1) “You are also aware of everyone’s duty as well as of what is best for you and me and of what we should do. I have full confidence in you; yet I say something appropriate to the occasion. (2) “In the absence of our father, dear brother, all our interests have been conserved by the goodwill of our preceptor’s family; otherwise our subjects, our kinsmen, our own people and ourselves, all would have been undone. (3) “If the sun (the lord of the day) sets before time, tell me, who in this world will not be subjected to hardship? A similar calamity was visited upon us by Providence, but the sage Vasiṣṭha and the lord of Mithilā saved us all. (4)
राज काज सब लाज पति धरम धरनि धन धाम। गुर प्रभाउ पालिहि सबहि भल होइहि परिनाम॥३०५॥
Meaning
“Not only the affairs of the state, but our honour and fair name, our virtue, land, riches and homes, everything will be protected by our Guru’s glory and all will be well in the end. (305)
