Doha 96
तुम्ह पुनि पितु सम अति हित मोरें। बिनती करउँ तात कर जोरें॥ सब बिधि सोइ करतब्य तुम्हारें। दुख न पाव पितु सोच हमारें॥१॥
सुनि रघुनाथ सचिव संबादू। भयउ सपरिजन बिकल निषादू॥ पुनि कछु लखन कही कटु बानी। प्रभु बरजे बड़ अनुचित जानी॥२॥
सकुचि राम निज सपथ देवाई। लखन सँदेसु कहिअ जनि जाई॥ कह सुमंत्रु पुनि भूप सँदेसू। सहि न सकिहि सिय बिपिन कलेसू॥३॥
जेहि बिधि अवध आव फिरि सीया। सोइ रघुबरहि तुम्हहि करनीया॥ नतरु निपट अवलंब बिहीना। मैं न जिअब जिमि जल बिनु मीना॥४॥
Meaning
“You too are extremely kind to me as my own father. Hence I pray with folded hands, Rev., do everything in your power to see that my father does not feel miserable on account of grief for us.” (1) Hearing this conversation between Śrī Raghunātha and the minister, Sumantra, the Niṣāda chief and his people felt much distressed. Thereafter Lakṣmaṇa made some poignant remarks; but the Lord stopped him knowing his words to be highly objectionable. (2) Feeling much abashed, Śrī Rāma adjured Sumantra by his own self not to mention Lakṣmaṇa’s words to the King. Sumantra then related the king’s message: ‘Sītā will not be able to endure the hardships of the forest. (3) ‘Therefore, both Rāma and yourself (Sumantra) should endeavour to see that Sītā returns to Ayodhyā. Otherwise, left entirely without any support, I shall not survive even as a fish without water.’ (4)
मइकें ससुरें सकल सुख जबहिं जहाँ मनु मान। तहँ तब रहिहि सुखेन सिय जब लगि बिपति बिहान॥९६॥
Meaning
‘There is every comfort both in her parents’ home as well as with the parents of her lord (i.e., ourselves); therefore, Sītā can live at ease wherever she pleases at a particular time till this adversity lasts.’ (96)
