# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 46

**चौ०** 
> धन्य जनमु जगतीतल तासू। पितहि प्रमोदु चरित सुनि जासू॥  
> चारि पदारथ करतल ताकें। प्रिय पितु मातु प्रान सम जाकें॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> आयसु पालि जनम फलु पाई। ऐहउँ बेगिहिं होउ रजाई॥  
> बिदा मातु सन आवउँ मागी। चलिहउँ बनहि बहुरि पग लागी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> अस कहि राम गवनु तब कीन्हा। भूप सोक बस उतरु न दीन्हा॥  
> नगर ब्यापि गइ बात सुतीछी। छुअत चढ़ी जनु सब तन बीछी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि भए बिकल सकल नर नारी। बेलि बिटप जिमि देखि दवारी॥  
> जो जहँ सुनइ धुनइ सिरु सोई। बड़ बिषादु नहिं धीरजु होई॥४

Meaning: “Blessed is his birth on the surface of this earth, whose father is rejoiced to hear of his doings. He has in his hand all the four prizes of life, (viz., religious merit, material riches, sensuous gratification and final beatitude), to whom his parents are dear as life. (1)

“After carrying out your order and having obtained the reward of my life, I shall come back soon; therefore, be pleased to command me. In the meantime, I shall take leave of mother Kausalyā and return forthwith; then I shall proceed to the woods after prostrating once more at your feet.” (2)

So spoke Śrī Rāma and then departed; while the king was too overpowered with grief to make any answer. This most unwelcome news spread throughout the city as though the sting of a scorpion had circulated its poison throughout the body. (3)

Every man and woman who heard this was distressed even as trees and creepers are blasted at the very sight of a forest fire. Whoever heard it, beat his head wherever he happened to be; the grief was too great to be borne. (4)

**दो०** 
> मुख सुखाहिं लोचन स्रवहिं सोकु न हृदयँ समाइ।  
> मनहुँ करुन रस कटकई उतरी अवध बजाइ॥४६॥

Meaning: Their mouths were parched, their eyes streamed with tears and their heart could not contain their sorrow; it seemed as though the army of Pathos had openly pitched its camp at Ayodhyā. (46)
