Doha 52
रघुकुलतिलक जोरि दोउ हाथा। मुदित मातु पद नायउ माथा॥ दीन्हि असीस लाइ उर लीन्हे। भूषन बसन निछावरि कीन्हे॥१॥
बार बार मुख चुंबति माता। नयन नेह जलु पुलकित गाता॥ गोद राखि पुनि हृदयँ लगाए। स्रवत प्रेमरस पयद सुहाए॥२॥
प्रेमु प्रमोदु न कछु कहि जाई। रंक धनद पदबी जनु पाई॥ सादर सुंदर बदनु निहारी। बोली मधुर बचन महतारी॥३॥
कहहु तात जननी बलिहारी। कबहिं लगन मुद मंगलकारी॥ सुकृत सील सुख सीवँ सुहाई। जनम लाभ कइ अवधि अघाई॥४॥
Meaning
The Crown of Raghu’s race, Śrī Rāma, folded His hands and cheerfully bowed His head at His mother’s feet. She blessed Him and clasped Him to her bosom and scattered jewels and raiment around Him (in order to protect Him from evil). (1) The mother kissed Him again and again with tears of affection in her eyes and her limbs thrilling all over with joy. Seating Him in her lap she pressed Him once more to her bosom, while milk flowed from her graceful breasts due to excess of love. (2) Her affection and joy were altogether beyond description; it seemed as if a pauper had attained the position of Kubera (the god of riches). Fondly looking at His lovely countenance, the mother spoke to Him in endearing terms: (3) “Tell me, dear child, I beseech you, when will be that delightful and auspicious hour, the beautiful culmination of piety, virtue and joy and the highest reward of human birth, (4)
जेहि चाहत नर नारि सब अति आरत एहि भाँति। जिमि चातक चातकि तृषित बृष्टि सरद रितु स्वाति॥५२॥
Meaning
“and for which all men and women long as anxiously as a thirsty pair of Cātaka birds for an autumnal shower during the brief period when the sun is in the same longitude as the constellation named Svāti (the Arcturus)?” (52)
