Doha 267
बैनतेय बलि जिमि चह कागू । जिमि ससु चहै नाग अरि भागू ॥ जिमि चह कुसल अकारन कोही । सब संपदा चहै सिवद्रोही ॥ १ ॥
लोभी लोलुप कल कीरति चहई । अकलंकता कि कामी लहई ॥ हरि पद बिमुख परम गति चाहा । तस तुम्हार लालचु नरनाहा ॥ २ ॥
कोलाहलु सुनि सीय सकानी । सखीं लवाइ गईं जहँ रानी ॥ रामु सुभायँ चले गुरु पाहीं । सिय सनेहु बरनत मन माहीं ॥ ३ ॥
रानिन्ह सहित सोचबस सीया । अब धौं बिधिहि काह करनीया ॥ भूप बचन सुनि इत उत तकहीं । लखनु राम डर बोलि न सकहीं ॥ ४ ॥
Meaning
“As a crow should seek an offering set apart for Garuḍa (the king of birds), as a rabbit should covet the share of a lion, as a man who is angry without any cause should expect happiness, as an enemy of Śiva should crave for riches of all kinds, (1) “as a greedy and covetous man should long for good fame and as a sensual man should aspire to be free from blemish, and as one who is averse to Śrī Hari’s feet should hanker after Liberation, your longing for Sītā, O princes, is as futile as all that.” (2) When Sītā heard the tumult, She was perturbed and Her companions escorted Her to the queen; while Śrī Rāma advanced to His Guru, easy in mind and inwardly extolling Sītā’s affection. (3) The queens as well as Sītā were filled with anxiety and wondered what Providence had in store for them. On hearing the words of the princes, Lakṣmaṇa stared hither and thither; for fear of Śrī Rāma, however, he could not speak. (4)
अरुन नयन भृकुटी कुटिल चितवत नृपन्ह सकोप । मनहुँ मत्त गजगन निरखि सिंघकिसोरहि चोप ॥ २६७ ॥
Meaning
With fiery eyes and knitted brows he cast an angry look at the kings, as though at the sight of a herd of wild elephants in rut, a lion’s whelp were eager to pounce on them. (267)
