Doha 92
भइ दिनकर कुल बिटप कुठारी। कुमति कीन्ह सब बिस्व दुखारी॥ भयउ बिषादु निषादहि भारी। राम सीय महि सयन निहारी॥१॥
बोले लखन मधुर मृदु बानी। ग्यान बिराग भगति रस सानी॥ काहु न कोउ सुख दुख कर दाता। निज कृत करम भोग सबु भ्राता॥२॥
जोग बियोग भोग भल मंदा। हित अनहित मध्यम भ्रम फंदा॥ जनमु मरनु जहँ लगि जग जालू। संपति बिपति करमु अरु कालू॥३॥
धरनि धामु धनु पुर परिवारू। सरगु नरकु जहँ लगि ब्यवहारू॥ देखिअ सुनिअ गुनिअ मन माहीं। मोह मूल परमारथु नाहीं॥४॥
Meaning
“The wicked woman has played the axe in felling the tree of the solar race and plunged the whole universe in woe.” The Niṣāda chief was sore distressed to see Śrī Rāma and Sītā sleeping on the ground. (1) Lakṣmaṇa spoke to him sweet and gentle words imbued with the nectar of wisdom, dispassion and devotion: “No one is the cause of delight or pain to another; everyone reaps the fruit of one’s own actions, brother. (2) “Union and separation, pleasurable and painful experiences, friends, foes and neutrals— all these are snares of delusion. Even so, birth and death, prosperity and adversity, destiny and time and all the illusions of the world, (3) “lands, houses, wealth, town and family, heaven and hell, and all the phenomena of the world; nay, whatever is seen, heard or thought of with the mind, has its root in delusion (ignorance): nothing exists in reality. (4)
सपनें होइ भिखारि नृपु रंकु नाकपति होइ। जागें लाभु न हानि कछु तिमि प्रपंच जियँ जोइ॥९२॥
Meaning
“Suppose in a dream a beggar is crowned king or the lord of paradise is reduced to the state of a pauper; on waking the one does not gain nor does the other lose anything. So must you look upon this world as a mere illusion. (92)
