Doha 50
अस बिचारि उर छाड़हु कोहू। सोक कलंक कोठि जनि होहू॥ भरतहि अवसि देहु जुबराजू। कानन काह राम कर काजू॥१॥
नाहिन रामु राज के भूखे। धरम धुरीन बिषय रस रूखे॥ गुर गृह बसहुँ रामु तजि गेहू। नृप सन अस बरु दूसर लेहू॥२॥
जौं नहिं लगिहहु कहें हमारे। नहिं लागिहि कछु हाथ तुम्हारे॥ जौं परिहास कीन्हि कछु होई। तौ कहि प्रगट जनावहु सोई॥३॥
राम सरिस सुत कानन जोगू। काह कहिहि सुनि तुम्ह कहुँ लोगू॥ उठहु बेगि सोइ करहु उपाई। जेहि बिधि सोकु कलंकु नसाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Pondering thus banish anger from your mind and do not make yourself a storehouse of grief and infamy. By all means install Bharata as the Prince-Regent; but what need is there for exiling Rāma to the forest? (1) “Rāma is not covetous of Kingdom; he is an epitome of righteousness and has no relish for sensuous pleasures. Let Rāma abandon his home and live with his preceptor; ask this of the king as your second boon. (2) “In case you do not follow our advice, you will gain nothing. If you have only played some joke, let us know by openly declaring it. (3) “Does a son like Rāma deserve to be exiled to the woods? What will the world say about you when they hear of it? Be up quickly and devise some means to avert grief and obloquy. (4)
जेहि भाँति सोकु कलंकु जाइ उपाय करि कुल पालही। हठि फेरु रामहि जात बन जनि बात दूसरि चालही॥ जिमि भानु बिनु दिनु प्रान बिनु तनु चंद बिनु जिमि जामिनी। तिमि अवध तुलसीदास प्रभु बिनु समुझि धौं जियँ भामिनी॥
Meaning
“Devise some means to avert grief and infamy and save your family. Peremptorily dissuade Rāma from proceeding to the woods and make no other suggestion. As the day without the sun, as the body without life and the night without the moon, so will be the city of Ayodhyā without Śrī Rāma, the Lord of Tulasīdāsa! just consider this, O good lady.”
सखिन्ह सिखावनु दीन्ह सुनत मधुर परिनाम हित। तेइँ कछु कान न कीन्ह कुटिल प्रबोधी कूबरी॥५०॥
Meaning
The advice that Kaikeyī’s friends gave her was agreeable to hear and salutary in consequence. But she gave no ear to it, tutored as she was by the vile humpback. (50)
