Doha 69
लखि सनेह कातरि महतारी। बचनु न आव बिकल भइ भारी॥ राम प्रबोधु कीन्ह बिधि नाना। समउ सनेहु न जाइ बखाना॥१॥
तब जानकी सासु पग लागी। सुनिअ माय मैं परम अभागी॥ सेवा समय दैअँ बनु दीन्हा। मोर मनोरथु सफल न कीन्हा॥२॥
तजब छोभु जनि छाड़िअ छोहू। करमु कठिन कछु दोसु न मोहू॥ सुनि सिय बचन सासु अकुलानी। दसा कवनि बिधि कहौं बखानी॥३॥
बारहिं बार लाइ उर लीन्ही। धरि धीरजु सिख आसिष दीन्ही॥ अचल होउ अहिवातु तुम्हारा। जब लगि गंग जमुन जल धारा॥४॥
Meaning
Seeing that His mother was too overwhelmed with emotion to speak any more and was greatly agitated, Śrī Rāma consoled her in various ways; the gravity of the occasion and the intensity of affection was more than one could describe. (1) Jānakī then threw Herself at Her mother-in-law’s feet and said, “I tell you, mother: I am most unlucky in that at a time when I should have served you, Providence has exiled me to the forest and has refused to grant my desire. (2) “Pray, be not perturbed any more, but at the same time cease not to entertain affectionate feelings towards me. Relentless is fate and there is no fault of mine either.” The mother-in-law was so distressed to hear Sītā’s words that I have no words to describe her condition. (3) Again and again she pressed her Daughter-in-law to her bosom and recovering herself admonished and blessed Her: “May the blessed state of your wifehood (the longevity of your husband) know no break and endure so long as the streams of the Gaṅgā and Yamunā continue to flow.” (4)
सीतहि सासु असीस सिख दीन्हि अनेक प्रकार। चली नाइ पद पदुम सिरु अति हित बारहिं बार॥६९॥
Meaning
The mother-in-law blessed and admonished Sītā in various ways and the latter parted from her, most affectionately bowing Her head at her lotus feet again and again. (69)
