Doha 80
निकसि बसिष्ठ द्वार भए ठाढ़े। देखे लोग बिरह दव दाढ़े॥ कहि प्रिय बचन सकल समुझाए। बिप्र बृंद रघुबीर बोलाए॥१॥
गुर सन कहि बरषासन दीन्हे। आदर दान बिनय बस कीन्हे॥ जाचक दान मान संतोषे। मीत पुनीत प्रेम परितोषे॥२॥
दासीं दास बोलाइ बहोरी। गुरहि सौंपि बोले कर जोरी॥ सब कै सार सँभार गोसाईं। करबि जनक जननी की नाईं॥३॥
बारहिं बार जोरि जुग पानी। कहत रामु सब सन मृदु बानी॥ सोइ सब भाँति मोर हितकारी। जेहि तें रहै भुआल सुखारी॥४॥
Meaning
Issuing out of the palace the party halted at Vasiṣṭha’s door and found the people scorched with the fire of impending separation. Śrī Rāma comforted all with soothing words and then summoned hosts of Brāhmaṇas. (1) He requested His preceptor to give them subsistence for a year and captivated their hearts through courtesy, gift and humility. He gratified mendicants with gifts and care and sated His friends with pure love. (2) He then called His servants and maid-servants and entrusting them to the care of His Guru, spoke to him with folded hands, “My lord, pray, look after them and tend them as their own father and mother.” (3) Again and again, with folded hands, Śrī Rāma addressed each one present there in soft accents: “He alone is my beloved and well-wisher in every way through whose services the king derives solace. (4)
मातु सकल मोरे बिरहँ जेहिं न होहिं दुख दीन। सोइ उपाउ तुम्ह करेहु सब पुर जन परम प्रबीन॥८०॥
Meaning
“Take care all of you, my most sagacious citizens, to see that none of my mothers is smitten with the pangs of separation from me.” (80)
