Doha 58
दीन्हि असीस सासु मृदु बानी। अति सुकुमारि देखि अकुलानी॥ बैठि नमितमुख सोचति सीता। रूप रासि पति प्रेम पुनीता॥१॥
चलन चहत बन जीवननाथू। केहि सुकृती सन होइहि साथू॥ की तनु प्रान कि केवल प्राना। बिधि करतबु कछु जाइ न जाना॥२॥
चारु चरन नख लेखति धरनी। नूपुर मुखर मधुर कबि बरनी॥ मनहुँ प्रेम बस बिनती करहीं। हमहि सीय पद जनि परिहरहीं॥३॥
मंजु बिलोचन मोचति बारी। बोली देखि राम महतारी॥ तात सुनहु सिय अति सुकुमारी। सासु ससुर परिजनहि पिआरी॥४॥
Meaning
The mother-in-law blessed Her in gentle accents and felt distressed when she saw Her most delicate frame. With Her head bent low, Sītā, who was beauty personified and cherished pure love towards Her Lord, sat reflecting, (1) ‘The lord of my life would depart to the forest; it is yet to be seen who will have the good fortune to accompany Him—my body and soul together or my soul alone. What God intends to do cannot be foreseen even partially.’ (2) As She scratched the ground with the lovely nails of Her toes, Her anklets produced a musical sound, as if—so declare the poets—they lovingly prayed that Sītā’s feet may never abandon them. (3) Seeing Her shed tears from Her charming eyes, Śrī Rāma’s mother broke the silence: “Listen, my dear child: Sītā is exceedingly delicate and the pet of her father-in-law and mothers-in-law and the whole family. (4)
पिता जनक भूपाल मनि ससुर भानुकुल भानु। पति रबिकुल कैरव बिपिन बिधु गुन रूप निधानु॥५८॥
Meaning
“She has for her father Janaka, the jewel among kings, while her father-in-law is no other than the sun of the solar race (your father); as for her lord (yourself), he is a veritable moon for the lily-like progeny of the solar race and a repository of goodness and beauty. (58)
