# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 91

**चौ०** 
> बिबिध बसन उपधान तुराईं। छीर फेन मृदु बिसद सुहाईं॥  
> तहँ सिय रामु सयन निसि करहीं। निज छबि रति मनोज मदु हरहीं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> ते सिय रामु साथरीं सोए। श्रमित बसन बिनु जाहिं न जोए॥  
> मातु पिता परिजन पुरबासी। सखा सुसील दास अरु दासी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जोगवहिं जिन्हहि प्रान की नाईं। महि सोवत तेइ राम गोसाईं॥  
> पिता जनक जग बिदित प्रभाऊ। ससुर सुरेस सखा रघुराऊ॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> रामचंदु पति सो बैदेही। सोवत महि बिधि बाम न केही॥  
> सिय रघुबीर कि कानन जोगू। करम प्रधान सत्य कह लोगू॥४॥

Meaning: “Again, they are equipped with coverlets and sheets, pillows and cushions of various kinds—all soft, white and charming as the froth of milk. It is in such attics that Sītā and Śrī Rāma used to sleep at night and humbled by their beauty the pride of Rati and her consort, the god of love. (1)

“Those very Sītā and Śrī Rāma are now lying on a pallet, exhausted and uncovered, a sight one cannot bear to see. The same Lord Rāma whom his father and mother, his own family and the people of the city, his good-natured companions, male servants and maid-servants, (2)

“all cherished as their own life, today is sleeping on the ground! Nay, Sītā, whose father Janaka is famed throughout the world, whose father-in-law is King Daśaratha, the chief of Raghus and an ally of Indra, the lord of immortals, (3)

“and whose spouse is Śrī Rāma, is lying on the ground! An adverse fate spares none. Do Sītā and Śrī Raghuvīra deserve to be exiled to the woods? It is rightly said: ‘Fate is inexorable.’ (4)

**दो०** 
> कैकयनंदिनि मंदमति कठिन कुटिलपनु कीन्ह।  
> जेहिं रघुनंदन जानकिहि सुख अवसर दुखु दीन्ह॥९१॥

Meaning: “Kaikeyī, the evil-minded daughter of Kekaya, has wrought a horrific evil in that she has brought sorrow on Sītā and Śrī Rāma at the time of their enjoyment. (91)
