Doha 77

चौ०

सकइ न बोलि बिकल नरनाहू। सोक जनित उर दारुन दाहू॥ नाइ सीसु पद अति अनुरागा। उठि रघुबीर बिदा तब मागा॥१॥

चौ०

पितु असीस आयसु मोहि दीजै। हरष समय बिसमउ कत कीजै॥ तात किएँ प्रिय प्रेम प्रमादू। जसु जग जाइ होइ अपबादू॥२॥

चौ०

सुनि सनेह बस उठि नरनाहाँ। बैठारे रघुपति गहि बाहाँ॥ सुनहु तात तुम्ह कहुँ मुनि कहहीं। रामु चराचर नायक अहहीं॥३॥

चौ०

सुभ अरु असुभ करम अनुहारी। ईसु देइ फलु हृदयँ बिचारी॥ करइ जो करम पाव फल सोई। निगम नीति असि कह सबु कोई॥४॥

Meaning

The king was too restless to speak; there was terrible agony in his heart due to intense grief. Most affectionately bowing His head at His father’s feet, the Hero of Raghu’s race, Śrī Rāma, then stood up and asked his permission to proceed to the woods. (1) “Father, give me your blessings and commands; why should you be sorrowing at this happy hour? By swerving from the path of duty due to attachment for a beloved object, dear father, one’s honour is lost and obloquy incurred.” (2) Hearing this the king got up in his love and holding Śrī Rāma by the arm he made Him sit down and said, “Listen, my boy: of You the sages declare that Rāma is the Lord of the entire creation, both animate and inanimate. (3) “God requites our actions according as they are good or bad, weighing them in the scale of His judgment. He alone who does the act reaps its consequences: such is the law of the Vedas and so declare all. (4)

दो०

औरु करै अपराधु कोउ और पाव फल भोगु। अति बिचित्र भगवंत गति को जग जानै जोगु॥७७॥

Meaning

“But in this case we find that one commits the offence and another reaps the fruit. Highly mysterious are the ways of God: Who is capable enough in this world to comprehend them?” (77)
