Doha 98
पितु बैभव बिलास मैं डीठा। नृप मनि मुकुट मिलित पद पीठा॥ सुखनिधान अस पितु गृह मोरें। पिय बिहीन मन भाव न भोरें॥१॥
ससुर चक्कवइ कोसलराऊ। भुवन चारिदस प्रगट प्रभाऊ॥ आगें होइ जेहि सुरपति लेई। अरध सिंघासन आसनु देई॥२॥
ससुर एतादृस अवध निवासू। प्रिय परिवारु मातु सम सासू॥ बिनु रघुपति पद पदुम परागा। मोहि केउ सपनेहुँ सुखद न लागा॥३॥
अगम पंथ बनभूमि पहारा। करि केहरि सर सरित अपारा॥ कोल किरात कुरंग बिहंगा। मोहि सब सुखद प्रानपति संगा॥४॥
Meaning
“I have witnessed the glory of my father’s fortune: his footstool is kissed by the greatest monarchs with their crowns. Bereft of my Lord, my parents’ home, which is such an abode of bliss, does not attract my mind even unwittingly. (1) “My father-in-law is no other than the King of Kosala, the suzerain lord of the entire globe, whose glory is manifest in all the fourteen spheres comprising the universe. Even Indra, the lord of celestials, goes ahead to receive him and seats him beside himself on his own throne. (2) “Such is my father-in-law, Ayodhyā is my abode, agreeable is my family and my mothers-in-law love me as my own mother. But without the dust from the lotus feet of my husband (the Lord of Raghus) none affords me pleasure even in a dream. (3) “On the other hand, impassable paths, forest regions and hills, elephants and lions, lakes and streams that cannot be crossed, wild tribes such as Kolas and Bhīlas, deer and birds—all these are delightful to me in the company of my beloved lord. (4)
सासु ससुर सन मोरि हुँति बिनय करबि परि पायँ। मोर सोचु जनि करिअ कछु मैं बन सुखी सुभायँ॥९८॥
Meaning
“Falling at the feet of my father-in-law and mother-in-law request them on my behalf not to grieve the least for me; for I feel naturally happy in the woods. (98)
