# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 64

**चौ०** 
> सुनि मृदु बचन मनोहर पिय के। लोचन ललित भरे जल सिय के॥  
> सीतल सिख दाहक भइ कैसें। चकइहि सरद चंद निसि जैसें॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> उतरु न आव बिकल बैदेही। तजन चहत सुचि स्वामि सनेही॥  
> बरबस रोकि बिलोचन बारी। धरि धीरजु उर अवनिकुमारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> लागि सासु पग कह कर जोरी। छमबि देबि बड़ि अबिनय मोरी॥  
> दीन्हि प्रानपति मोहि सिख सोई। जेहि बिधि मोर परम हित होई॥ ३॥

**चौ०** 
> मैं पुनि समुझि दीखि मन माहीं। पिय बियोग सम दुखु जग नाहीं॥४॥

Meaning: When Sītā heard these soft and winsome words of Her beloved lord, Her lovely eyes were filled with tears. His soothing advice proved as scorching to Her as a moon-lit autumnal night to a female Cakravāka bird. (1)

Jānakī could make no answer. She was filled with agony to think that Her pious and loving lord would leave Her behind. Perforce restraining Her tears, Earth’s Daughter, Sītā, took courage, (2)

and throwing Herself at Her mother-in-law’s feet spoke to her with Her palms joined together, “Forgive, O venerable mother, my great impudence: The lord of my life has tendered me only such advice as is conducive to the best of my interests. (3)

“I have, however, pondered within myself and realized that there is no calamity in this world as great as being torn away from one’s beloved lord. (4)

**दो०** 
> प्राननाथ करुनायतन सुंदर सुखद सुजान।  
> तुम्ह बिनु रघुकुल कुमुद बिधु सुरपुर नरक समान॥६४॥

Meaning: “O lord of my life, O abode of mercy, handsome, genial and wise, O moon for the lily-like race of Raghus, without you heaven would be as obnoxious as hell. (64)
