Doha 43
रहसी रानि राम रुख पाई। बोली कपट सनेहु जनाई॥ सपथ तुम्हार भरत कै आना। हेतु न दूसर मैं कछु जाना॥१॥
तुम्ह अपराध जोगु नहिं ताता। जननी जनक बंधु सुखदाता॥ राम सत्य सबु जो कछु कहहू। तुम्ह पितु मातु बचन रत अहहू॥२॥
पितहि बुझाइ कहहु बलि सोई। चौथेंपन जेहिं अजसु न होई॥ तुम्ह सम सुअन सुकृत जेहिं दीन्हे। उचित न तासु निरादरु कीन्हे॥३॥
लागहिं कुमुख बचन सुभ कैसे। मगहँ गयादिक तीरथ जैसे॥ रामहि मातु बचन सब भाए। जिमि सुरसरि गत सलिल सुहाए॥४॥
Meaning
The queen rejoiced to find Śrī Rāma agreeable towards her proposal and said with a false show of affection, “I swear by you and Bharata that no other cause of the king’s affliction is known to me. (1) “You are hardly capable of any offence, dear son, a source of delight that you are to your parents and brothers. What you say is all true; you are devoted to the words of your father and mother. (2) “I adjure you to counsel your father that he may not incur opprobrium in the evening of his life. It is hardly desirable for him to disregard the virtues (truthfulness etc.) that have given him a son like you.” (3) These polite words adorned her detestable mouth even as sacred spots like Gayā beautify the accursed land of Magadha (South Bihar). All these words from mother Kaikeyī sounded pleasant to Śrī Rāma in the same way as waters of all kinds are hallowed through their confluence with the holy Gaṅgā. (4)
गइ मुरुछा रामहि सुमिरि नृप फिरि करवट लीन्ह। सचिव राम आगमन कहि बिनय समय सम कीन्ह॥४३॥
Meaning
The king’s spell of unconsciousness was now somewhat over; he remembered Rāma (uttered the word Rāma) and then changed sides. And the minister Sumantra informed him of Śrī Rāma’s arrival and made humble submission to him in words appropriate to the occasion. (43)
