# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 66

Dialogue between Śrī Rāma, Kausalyā and Sītā

**चौ०** 
> बनदेबीं बनदेव उदारा। करिहहिं सासु ससुर सम सारा॥  
> कुस किसलय साथरी सुहाई। प्रभु सँग मंजु मनोज तुराई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कंद मूल फल अमिअ अहारू। अवध सौध सत सरिस पहारू॥  
> छिनु छिनु प्रभु पद कमल बिलोकी। रहिहउँ मुदित दिवस जिमि कोकी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बन दुख नाथ कहे बहुतेरे। भय बिषाद परिताप घनेरे॥  
> प्रभु बियोग लवलेस समाना। सब मिलि होहिं न कृपानिधाना॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अस जियँ जानि सुजान सिरोमनि। लेइअ संग मोहि छाड़िअ जनि॥  
> बिनती बहुत करौं का स्वामी। करुनामय उर अंतरजामी॥४॥

Meaning: “The generous-hearted sylvan gods and goddesses will take care of me like my own father-in-law and mother-in-law. A charming litter of grass and tender leaves will, in the company of my lord, vie with Cupid’s own lovely cushion. (1)

“Bulbs, roots and fruits will be my ambrosial food; while mountains will be as good as a hundred royal mansions of Ayodhyā. Gazing on the lotus feet of my lord every moment I shall remain as cheerful as a female Cakravāka bird during the daytime. (2)

“You have mentioned a number of hardships and perils, woes and afflictions attendant to forest life; but all these put together will hardly compare with an iota of the pangs of separation from my lord, O fountain of mercy! (3)

“Bearing this in mind, O crest-jewel of wise men, take me with you; pray, do not leave me behind. I refrain from making a lengthy submission, my lord, knowing, as I do, that you are all-merciful and have access to the hearts of all. (4)

**दो०** 
> राखिअ अवध जो अवधि लगि रहत न जनिअहिं प्रान।  
> दीनबंधु सुंदर सुखद सील सनेह निधान॥६६॥

Meaning: “If you leave me in Ayodhyā for the period of your exile (fourteen years), you may rest assured that I shall not survive, O friend of the afflicted, O handsome and congenial lord, O repository of amiability and affection! (66)
