Doha 336
देखि राम छबि अति अनुरागीं। प्रेमबिबस पुनि पुनि पद लागीं॥ रही न लाज प्रीति उर छाई। सहज सनेहु बरनि किमि जाई॥१॥
भाइन्ह सहित उबटि अन्हवाए। छरस असन अति हेतु जेवाँए॥ बोले रामु सुअवसरु जानी। सील सनेह सकुचमय बानी॥२॥
राउ अवधपुर चहत सिधाए। बिदा होन हम इहाँ पठाए॥ मातु मुदित मन आयसु देहू। बालक जानि करब नित नेहू॥३॥
सुनत बचन बिलखेउ रनिवासू। बोलि न सकहिं प्रेमबस सासू॥ हृदयँ लगाइ कुअँरि सब लीन्ही। पतिन्ह सौंपि बिनती अति कीन्ही॥४॥
Meaning
Greatly moved at the sight of Śrī Rāma’s beauty they affectionately fell at His feet again and again. Their heart being rapt in love, the feeling of shyness had bid them adieu; how could their natural affection for their sons-in-law be described? (1) After applying turmeric-paste on the body of Śrī Rāma and His brothers, they were given a bath and were most lovingly entertained with dishes containing the six flavours. Finding it a suitable opportunity Śrī Rāma spoke in accents full of amiability, affection and modesty: (2) “Our royal father intends leaving for Ayodhyā, and has sent us here to take leave of you. Therefore, mothers, grant us permission with a cheerful heart and ever regard us with affection as your own children.” (3) The ladies of the gynaeceum were sad to hear these words; the mothers-in-law were too overwhelmed with emotion to speak a word. They clasped all the princesses to their bosom and while giving them to their lords, made humble submission to them.(4)
करि बिनय सिय रामहि समरपी जोरि कर पुनि पुनि कहै। बलि जाउँ तात सुजान तुम्ह कहुँ बिदित गति सब की अहै॥ परिवार पुरजन मोहि राजहि प्रानप्रिय सिय जानिबी। तुलसीस सीलु सनेहु लखि निज किंकरी करि मानिबी॥
Meaning
With humble submission Queen Sunayanā committed Sītā to Śrī Rāma, and with folded hands prayed again and again, “I offer myself as sacrifice to You, my all-wise darling; You know what passes in the mind of all. May you know that Sītā is dear as life itself to the whole family, nay, to the entire populace of the city, more so to me and to her royal father. Therefore, considering her meekness and affection, O Lord of Tulasīdāsa, treat her as Your handmaid.
तुम्ह परिपूरन काम जान सिरोमनि भावप्रिय। जन गुन गाहक राम दोष दलन करुनायतन॥३३६॥
Meaning
“You are totally accomplished in every sense, You are the crest-jewel of the wise, and it is love alone that attracts You. You perceive only the good points of Your devotees; You eradicate their weaknesses and are an abode of mercy, O Śrī Rāma!” (336)
