# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 36

**चौ०** 
> चहत न भरत भूपतहि भोरें। बिधि बस कुमति बसी जिय तोरें॥  
> सो सबु मोर पाप परिनामू। भयउ कुठाहर जेहिं बिधि बामू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सुबस बसिहि फिरि अवध सुहाई। सब गुन धाम राम प्रभुताई॥  
> करिहहिं भाइ सकल सेवकाई। होइहि तिहुँ पुर राम बड़ाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> तोर कलंकु मोर पछिताऊ। मुएहुँ न मिटिहि न जाइहि काऊ॥  
> अब तोहि नीक लाग करु सोई। लोचन ओट बैठु मुहु गोई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> जब लगि जिऔं कहउँ कर जोरी। तब लगि जनि कछु कहसि बहोरी॥  
> फिरि पछितैहसि अंत अभागी। मारसि गाइ नहारू लागी॥४॥

Meaning: “Bharata would never covet sovereignty even unwittingly. By the decree of fate, however, evil counsel has taken possession of your mind. All that is the outcome of my sins due to which the tide has turned against me at an inopportune moment. (1)

“Beautiful Ayodhyā (laid desolate by you) shall flourish again under the sovereignty of Rāma, the abode of all virtues. All his brothers shall serve him and his fame shall spread through all the three spheres of creation. (2)

“The stain on your reputation and my remorse shall not disappear even after our death and shall never go till eternity. Now do whatever pleases you; only keep out of my sight, hiding your face. (3)

“So long as I live, I beseech you with folded hands, pray! speak not a word to me again. You will repent in the end, O hapless woman, that you killed a cow for the sake of gut.” (4)

**दो०** 
> परेउ राउ कहि कोटि बिधि काहे करसि निदानु।  
> कपट सयानि न कहति कछु जागति मनहुँ मसानु॥३६॥

Meaning: Thus arguing with her in innumerable ways, the king dropped on the ground crying, “Why do you bring ruin to all?” But a past master in wiles, the queen did not utter a word as though busy performing magical rites in a cremation ground (to acquire control over ghosts). (36)
