Doha 49
एक बिधातहि दूषनु देहीं। सुधा देखाइ दीन्ह बिषु जेहीं॥ खरभरु नगर सोचु सब काहू। दुसह दाहु उर मिटा उछाहू॥१॥
बिप्रबधू कुलमान्य जठेरी। जे प्रिय परम कैकई केरी॥ लगीं देन सिख सीलु सराही। बचन बानसम लागहिं ताही॥२॥
भरतु न मोहि प्रिय राम समाना। सदा कहहु यहु सबु जगु जाना॥ करहु राम पर सहज सनेहू। केहिं अपराध आजु बनु देहू॥३॥
कबहुँ न कियहु सवति आरेसू। प्रीति प्रतीति जान सबु देसू॥ कौसल्याँ अब काह बिगारा। तुम्ह जेहि लागि बज्र पुर पारा॥४॥
Meaning
Some blamed the Creator, who had offered nectar but actually gave them poison. The whole city was astir and everyone felt distressed. There was deep agony in their heart and their briskness was gone. (1) Brāhmaṇa matrons and other venerable and elderly ladies of the royal family and such other ladies as were most dear to Kaikeyī began to expostulate with her, praising her amiability; but their words pierced her like shafts. (2) “You have always said, and the whole world knows it, that Bharata is not so dear to you as Rāma. You have borne natural affection towards Rāma; for what offence do you exile him to the woods today? (3) “You have never harboured jealousy towards your co-wives; your loving disposition and credulity are known throughout the land. What wrong has Kausalyā done you now due to which you should have hurled this thunderbolt against the whole city. (4)
सीय कि पिय सँगु परिहरिहि लखनु कि रहिहहिं धाम। राजु कि भूँजब भरत पुर नृपु कि जिइहि बिनु राम॥४९॥
Meaning
“Will Sītā forgo the company of Śrī Rāma or Lakṣmaṇa choose to stay at home? Will Bharata enjoy the Kingdom of Ayodhyā or the king survive without Rāma? (49)
