# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 45

**चौ०** 
> अजसु होउ जग सुजसु नसाऊ। नरक परौं बरु सुरपुरु जाऊ॥  
> सब दुख दुसह सहावहु मोही। लोचन ओट रामु जनि होंही॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> अस मन गुनइ राउ नहिं बोला। पीपर पात सरिस मनु डोला॥  
> रघुपति पितहि प्रेमबस जानी। पुनि कछु कहिहि मातु अनुमानी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> देस काल अवसर अनुसारी। बोले बचन बिनीत बिचारी॥  
> तात कहउँ कछु करउँ ढिठाई। अनुचितु छमब जानि लरिकाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अति लघु बात लागि दुखु पावा। काहुँ न मोहि कहि प्रथम जनावा॥  
> देखि गोसाइँहि पूँछिउँ माता। सुनि प्रसंगु भए सीतल गाता॥ ४॥

Meaning: “Let world-wide disrepute be my lot and let my good name perish; I would fain be damned to perdition and forgo heaven (the abode of immortals). Subject me to all severe hardships, but let not Rāma be taken away from my sight.” (1)

The king thus prayed within his heart but did not open his lips; his mind quivered like an aspen leaf. Perceiving that His father was overpowered with affection, and apprehending that mother Kaikeyī might say something again, (2)

Śrī Raghunātha spoke after due deliberation words which were not only humble but also appropriate to the place, time and circumstances. “Dear father, I make bold to submit something; pray! forgive this impropriety on my part knowing that I am yet tender of age. (3)

“You have suffered for a most trifling matter; and the pity of it is that nobody apprized me of it before. When I saw you I asked mother Kaikeyī, and was relieved to hear what she has told me. (4)

**दो०** 
> मंगल समय सनेह बस सोच परिहरिअ तात।  
> आयसु देइअ हरषि हियँ कहि पुलके प्रभु गात॥४५॥

Meaning: “Grieve not out of affection at a time of rejoicing, dear father, and command me with a happy heart.” The Lord felt a thrill of joy all over his body as He spoke these words. (45)
