# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 53

**चौ०** 
> तात जाउँ बलि बेगि नहाहू। जो मन भाव मधुर कछु खाहू॥  
> पितु समीप तब जाएहु भैआ। भइ बड़ि बार जाइ बलि मैआ॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मातु बचन सुनि अति अनुकूला। जनु सनेह सुरतरु के फूला॥  
> सुख मकरंद भरे श्रियमूला। निरखि राम मनु भवँरु न भूला॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> धरम धुरीन धरम गति जानी। कहेउ मातु सन अति मृदु बानी॥  
> पिताँ दीन्ह मोहि कानन राजू। जहँ सब भाँति मोर बड़ काजू॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> आयसु देहि मुदित मन माता। जेहिं मुद मंगल कानन जाता॥  
> जनि सनेह बस डरपसि भोरें। आनँदु अंब अनुग्रह तोरें॥४॥

Meaning: “I adjure you, my darling, to bathe quickly and take some sweet dish of your choice. See your father after that, my boy; for, I say, it is already too late.” (1)

Even on hearing these most agreeable words of His mother, which were blossoms as it were of the celestial tree of affection, laden with the honey of joy and fountains of worldly prosperity, the bee of Śrī Rāma’s mind could not be lured by their charm. (2)

An epitome of righteousness that He was, Śrī Rāma clearly discerned the path of his duty and spoke to His mother in exceedingly polite terms. “Father has bestowed on me the kingdom of the forest, where there will be great opportunities for me in every way. (3)

“Therefore, grant me leave with a cheerful heart, so that my journey to the forest may be replete with joy and blessing. Be not obsessed with erroneous fears due to affection, dear mother; by your goodwill all will be well. (4)

**दो०** 
> बरष चारिदस बिपिन बसि करि पितु बचन प्रमान।  
> आइ पाय पुनि देखिहउँ मनु जनि करसि मलान॥५३॥

Meaning: “Spending fourteen years in the forest and having obeyed my father’s command, I will come back and behold your feet again; be not sad at heart.” (53)
