Doha 337
अस कहि रही चरन गहि रानी। प्रेम पंक जनु गिरा समानी॥ सुनि सनेहसानी बर बानी। बहुबिधि राम सासु सनमानी॥१॥
राम बिदा मागत कर जोरी। कीन्ह प्रनामु बहोरि बहोरी॥ पाइ असीस बहुरि सिरु नाई। भाइन्ह सहित चले रघुराई॥२॥
मंजु मधुर मूरति उर आनी। भईं सनेह सिथिल सब रानी॥ पुनि धीरजु धरि कुअँरि हँकारीं। बार बार भेटहिं महतारीं॥ ३ ॥
पहुँचावहिं फिरि मिलहिं बहोरी। बढ़ी परस्पर प्रीति न थोरी॥ पुनि पुनि मिलत सखिन्ह बिलगाई। बाल बच्छ जिमि धेनु लवाई॥४॥
Meaning
So saying, the queen remained clinging to His feet; it seemed as if her speech had been lost in the quicksands of love. On hearing her fine speech, which was full of affection, Śrī Rāma honoured His mother-in-law in several ways. (1) While seeking her permission with folded hands, He made obeisance to her again and again. Having received her blessings, Śrī Rāma bowed His head once more and then departed with His brothers. (2) Treasuring up in their heart Śrī Rāma’s lovely and beautiful image all the queens were overcome with emotion. Then, recovering themselves, they called their daughters and embraced them again and again. (3) They escorted them to some distance and then embraced them once more; the love on both sides swelled to a great extent. While meeting their daughters again and again, they were parted by the companions of the princesses even as a cow, who has just calved, may be parted from its calf. (4)
प्रेमबिबस नर नारि सब सखिन्ह सहित रनिवासु। मानहुँ कीन्ह बिदेहपुर करुनाँ बिरहँ निवासु॥३३७॥
Meaning
All men and women including the companions of the princesses and the ladies of the gynaeceum were overpowered with emotion; it seemed as if pathos and the parting of lovers had taken up their abode in Janakpur, the capital of the Videhas. (337)
